I'm in need of a new set of tires and I've been doing a fair bit of research. I pretty much have my choices down to Nitto Terra Grapplers or Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs. The size I'm going to run is 285/70/17. I do a little bit of off-roading, but nothing too crazy. I wanted something that handled rain well, and that looked good. Which one should I go with? Has anyone had good/bad luck with either one? Any input would be appreciated. Thanks in advance
I have Nitto's. They are pretty good tires and last a long time. Im not nice to the truck and about 10K miles later they still look new. We can get them if interested. Send us an email. sales@bullysperformance.com
BlackRamHemi, your truck is beautiful. I hope I could get a bit more than 22K miles out of a set of Nittos though. I got a quote on the Nittos for a little over $800 all said and done for a set. Im still torn between the two
Not me, I hate seeing my hard earned money go up in smoke
I have dedicated drag radials for the track....all four of them.
I have to leave my truck in 4-Auto (AWD) all year round, and at the track for traction
or it will just sit and spin when I punch it since swapping in a high stall torque converter 2 years ago.
I do drive aggressively though, almost all city miles with stop and go traffic and lots of cornering.
But with that said,
in all my years I've NEVER had a tire last under 50k kms until now. Same driving style
I know what you mean about money and smoke. Me too.
I've only had ne set of tires last me over 50K in all my years of driving.
I usually scrap them no less than app. 20% life.
I'm a huge advocate of quality tires but more so of tire care/inspection. I inspect all our vehicles' tire weekly without a hitch; and address any premature wear/defects or the like promptly.
I've come to the assessment - just in the last few years - that driving habits and tire care play the main role in tire longevity.
