35" BFG vs. 35" Nitto Terra A/T

[bparker]

I can feel the love... I guess when the day comes and I get stuck and then get out air my tires down and drive out. I will come here and say I am sorry I was wrong.. But until then its just not for me.

Take care,

No one seems to have the BFG 315/75/r16's in stock, and some say its being discontinued, so.....I looked at just about every A/T out there and thought the Nitto Terra Grappler A/T was the best looking tire available in 35" (second to BFG). What do you guys think? What others would you recommend? I want to stay away from Mud Terrain, although I really like the Toyo Country M/T's I've seen on some of the H3's.

They do not show the 35" X 16" tire on their site. They do have it though! 35 X 12.50 X 16.

I am putting those on Thrusday or Friday.
4Wheel Parts carrys these.
you cannot use the stock rim though. they require a min. width of 8". </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

How are these onroad, how do they wear, etc.? I saw some on a heep the other day and liked the look of them.

What wheels are you getting?

they were great tires at first but became a bit noisy after about only 8k miles and had wear problems on all 4 tires.

that's becasue you didn't air your tires down when you went off roading.

No, I dont air down my tires. I have yet to need to air them down. I have been "behind" many on the trail that aired thier down and guess what; I went everywhere they went and in some cases had better traction than they did (as in I didnt spin out and needed a second approach with more speed).

Personally (this is just MY opinion) - I think airing down tires on "hwy capable" trucks is kinda silly. As in only when you are running 37s pizza cutters on a rail car doing some serious rock crawling - and only then do you need to air your tires down. I think guys that have "state hwy inspected" trucks are just doing it becaure "the big guys do it too".

Again, I never needed to with my 2 jeeps (which I had for 8 yrs), or any of my other offroad toys. All of them had great traction (EXCELPT SLIP ROCK) and I never needed to air them down to make myself feel like a big boy on the trail.

Again, this is just my opinion.
