Not sure what price range your looking at..I put 35" Nitto mud grapplers on my daughters jeep,she drove it 70 miles 5 days a week to school on them,think she had 50,000+ miles on them before I replaced them with a new set,kept 2 of the 1st set to use as spares,the tread is still decent.Never had a flat or any problem with them.

I've been happy with my Nitto Trail Grapplers on my 1500 Silverado. My last set had 50-60k, and the only reason I replaced them was because my wife managed to put a screwdriver thru one of them on the freeway, so I replaced all 4.

BFG KM2's  the tread pattern is a bit different than everyone elses which makes them a bit quieter.  I have gotten 70K out of both the KM's and the KM2's

the last time I needed tires for my Super Duty, there where no BFG's available (they where in the middle of the tooling change/ ramp up  from KM to KM2)  I went with Cooper SST's.   I prefer the BFG's.
May that for which I prepare never come to pass.

Yep I agree. Great combo of quite and off road traction. I have them on my 4runner. Toyo is now copying the st maxx with a tire just like it now. Another good one is the wrangler duratrac. All of these should be available in a 10 ply also.

thanks for the responses, I am going with the toyo m/t I dont drive enough to go with a A/T and dont ever want a flat tire. I got 67,000 out of the last set and are still legal but humm alot louder and spin at most sharp turns.

Nothing wrong with sticking to what works and what you know. Learned that the hard way with trying mechanicals this year. Do you sipe your tires? I did that with my last set and they chunked out a bit on the gravel/shale. This year when I bought tires they didn't even ask me if I wanted to do it and usually they are pushing it. I wasn't going to if they asked, but I'm wondering if they do it anymore

I have run BF mt and at. Duratrac, Toyo mt at and others.  Running Toyo AT2 now and they are pretty good.  Better in snow than MT and really are about as good in the mud as the MT unless its thick or gumbo mud.  Duratrac is my favorite, great snow good in sloppy mud and on the street/rain.  Toyo MT suck, period. sorry toyo guys but I'm not impressed at all with em.  BF spank them every way possible.

HA. Sometimes people buy to wide of tires for mud. Lots of things to consider. A narrow tire will perform much better in mud then a wide tire. Wide tires look better so people go with them, and they perform better in icy snow/deep snow. Nothing's perfect for everything

This could be the most comical post I've ever read on huntwa. Narrow in the mud and wide in the snow and ice, huh? Wow

On a muddy old road yes a skinny tire will cut through better and bite where a wide tire is going to slide all over. But I'm trying to explain logical reasoning to someone who suggested TSLs and boggers to a guy who's trying to get mileage out of his tires. Not go out with hill billys on the weekends to a mud pit with super swampers and trailer their old broken jeeps

Get a lil set of these if just using for mud hunting.  I Get ten years outa these.  2500 miles a year. Heh.  On third set - grooving greatly improves snow and ice traction.  Run at 5 psi.

He puts 4 to 5K miles per year on these tires. Logically speaking, I mentioned some of the best mud tires ever built. All mentioned will last several years in those conditions. Am I wrong?

You'll never put a scenario together for me to ever not laugh at your "theory". :chuckle:

Narrow tire does perform better most cases.  Wide pushes more mud and snow instead of cutting to the ground for traction.  Jeeps ran pizza cutters for a reason.  It depends on weight of vehichle of course.  If its real deep than speed power and flotation of wide tire helps.  Can a jeep 4cyl turn 15" wide 37" tires at 40mph through the mud?  Nope.  Stuck.  Skinny will work best.  Diesels are heavy and can use wider tires better than others.  Anyone who has wheeled understands why a 38" skinny bogger does better than a 15" wide bogger.

 :yeah: anyone who's done any wheeling is right. Internet jockeys see giant wide tires and eyes light up
