Jomax 0 Posted September 23, 2013 In a dilemma, stuck on which tires to get. I've been looking at the Nitto Trail grappler in a 295 70 18 or a Hankook MT in 325 65 18. Anyone have any experience with either? Any other tire you guys would recommend? All opinions and facts welcome! Thanks David Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jklee 1 Posted September 23, 2013 I like the bfgoodrich krawler. Good on and off road manners. Good wearing from street driving ect. The only weird thing about them is on my 95 grand I ran a 35 inch and is was pretty quiet but on my 08 jk I run stock size and they are incredibly loud.

Jomax 0 Posted September 23, 2013 Need it to be a rated E tire. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jklee 1 Posted September 23, 2013 I'm guessing krawlers are only d rated? Let us know what you end up with maybe I'll switch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theksmith 3,667 Posted September 23, 2013 i hear good things about the Hankook lately on forums, but that's second-hand info i used to run the Terra Grappler before i got into a more aggressive tire, i liked them just fine but i saw many people complaining they wore out too fast. never ran the Trail Grappler though. give my friend Brian a call at Brian's Tire Pros there in Mesa, ask him what else people are liking similar to the Hankook that comes in your size and is E rated. tell him Kristoffer at Offroad Passport sent you - he'll beat any other price you find.

AZBillyBoy 2 Posted September 23, 2013 I am familiar with the Hankooks but not in that size. I have the 31s and they are excellent. Far superior in wear and "chunking" to the BFGs and cheaper too, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jomax 0 Posted September 23, 2013 I like the hankooks, but while researching, it looks like they're made in China, kind of a bummer. Nothing I ever got from China lasts.. But AZbillyboy seems to have good luck so it's a hard decision. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for the tire company Kris, I usually use my local Discount tire(I love their warrenty, and they're 2 miles away) I will give a call to Brian though. Might be worth the swap.
