I am looking for your reviews of the above mentioned tire. My Bronco sees as much street time as it sees off road time. Not many rocks here in the deep south mostly mud. I have ventured up the state to Grey Rock for a little rock crawling. Just give me the good bad and ugly.

Thanks in advance

Havent had the mud grapplers but I had their all terrain tire. I am a big fan of Nitto and have a awesome luck with tread life with those all terrains and their NT555 on my mustang. Not sure about the mud grappler on the street but a buddy had some in 35" and they lasted long for him and he did all street driving. Also look at their new Trail tire. its more of a 50/50 tire. Looks good.

Buy Super Swampers, you will get them eventually. The Mud Grapplers wear out to fast on pavement. The selection is better on the entire super swamper line. Have fun in the mud, we have plenty of it down here in LA.

I didn't have any problems with wear on mine and they didn't cup either. The sidewalls are stiffer and require you to air them down further to get good flex out of them for a softer ride when wheeling the rough stuff. They do hum pretty good on the pavement but I liked it. They were the best balancing tire I have owned and if you do a search on the Net everyone pretty much says the same and I was running 37's and I barely had any weights on them.

I like Irok’s but I am having a tough time getting the size I want. Interco is not producing them (41’s) yet and the local tire guy I am using is having difficulties finding someone to price 39.5’s for us. I can get Nitto 40’s today hence the reason I asked. I have read review’s on the BFG Krawler, Irok’s and the Grappler. All three have about an 80% approval rating. Incidentally BFG Krawler (39’s) is out of production at the moment too.

I've had the Nitto Mud Grapplers, 35" on my 2500 Duramax for the past 5 years. Lots of towing and some off roading. They are starting to get worn now but well they should I have about 20,000 miles on them and the truck weighs 7300lbs.

The mud graps are just plain sick. Before I gote my 37s I originally had 35" Mud Graps. They had the best reviews by just about everyone. I had alot of time in Iraq so I checked out chevy forums, Hepp forums and FORD forums and most everyone had great things to say about them. They are pricey, I think I pd $330 ea after Military Discount. The Mgr told me the 18" rim I bought would fit, well it didn't and rubbed the shocks. Thats where I learned about backspace real quick! So the tire store had to take them back even after they were mounted. They gave me a full refund, but I went back to them in coming weeks. I eventually got newer 17" rims and went back to buy the Mud Graps but dayum they were like $355 ea!!!!! YIKES!!! So I asked about my second best tire (really my back-up plan) and it was the KM2s. For a 35" it was around $285, so I was lie ok.... what about the 37" KM2 and he said $300 plus mounting and balance. So I went with the 37" KM2s. The balancing was around 2-3 oz per tire, but the guys at the tire store said the Mud Graps were better on balancing that the KM2s. I said "la lalala la la la (loud)......" as I was walking away! You wont be disappointed at all. Get the Road Hazard insurance on them though, as u would with any expensive tire if they will give it to you.
