I have nitto terra grapplers on my work truck. 97 chevy 2500 4x4. They have about 40k on them now and still have some life left, but not a ton. Miles were largely in town, prob 80-90 percent, along with plenty of jobsite mud/gravel/dirt. Also prob had a 4000 lb tailer 20 percent of those miles, and an 8k load ten percent.
FWIW.

It was time for new tires on my wife's xterra so I went ahead and ordered some treadwrights. They shipped fast and craftsmanship appears good. $492. To my door for (4) 265/70/16 wardens ( old mtr tread).
So I need new tires on the duramax, any one heard anything good or bad about the cooper Discoverer atr?
Don't know a whole lot about Cooper's, but my Falkens have been bad ass so far... Worth some investigation!
I think that I am going to go with some Falkens on the Duramax

They have a 50,000 mile treadwear warranty and are doing damn well on the street and off road.
You talking about the coopers or the falkens?
Falkens. They are excellent...
I've heard alot of bad things about coopers. Someone who I know who is a cooper dealer (I won't say who) said that even he would never buy them.
I'm really a fan of the toyo m/t's. They're really quiet, especially for being mud terrains, and they're tough as nails. I've had to drive on them flat two times now and they haven't complained.
Plus, Robby Gordon uses them on his dakar truck uncut.
Travis has seemed to have good luck with the general grabbers too.
Not a fan of coopers. Had them on my crewcab and destroyed a set in a near-accident on the way to Alto. Had other problems I don't recall offhand and switched toa less aggressive firestone. Much happier with them.
On the 8th day god created the Super Swamper TSL and said "go forth and kick ass"
I am looking for a new set of tires for the jeep in the 42" size. What is popular now? TSLs are always good. IROKs are kinda so so now I understand. What are the reviews on the pitbull rockers? What else is out there in that size? Claws? Now Krawlers but just in 20" rims and $$$. Just looking for opinions. Won't be ordering these until summer time likely. Just thinking ahead.

I have heard that the pit bulls are sick...
i think the fjkid runs them on something and likes them....
Red 81 CJ5, 35's, 4.10 and detroit, 4 to 1 dana 300, tbi efi, flat belly, cage, chromos and auzzie in front... sometimes runs. body damage to come
Kid? Bitch I am your age. shiiiiiiiiiit.
No I ran the Radial Pitbulls in 37" variety and absolutely loved them. They went when I sold the Tacoma but If I ever do a dual purpose rig again they will be the first tire I go to. Slightly heavy but not as heavy as Toyo's and they bent, wrapped, and gripped very well. The big lugs clean out well, and the side lugs offer good protection. Didn't chunk either.
Now also in the 42" flavor in a 17" Rim are the Goodyear MTR Stickies, which if I build a one ton rig soon will be what I use. I think they are sexy.
