Nitto Mud Grapplers or Procomp?
Trying to save money with gas prices ($4.00) so should I get Nitto Mud Grapplers($1,060) for my 18's or Procomp Mud Terrains with new 16 in. rims($1,572)?

Tough choice. Pro comp tires are junk (in my experience), and the Nitto Muds wear out fast (20,000 miles is all they lasted my buddy).

just a thought...but if youre trying to save money in fuel costs...wouldnt it serve you better to NOT get a heavy tread tire and get something with a little less rolling resistance?

I have the mud grapplers with about 23k miles i have about another 15k easy. If you got 20k out of them must been a full size or f250 truck i can believe that and have seen that. I dont drive like grandma either and it texas the heat does not help these soft tires. They are loud going down the highway at 70. They kick a$$ in the mud.

If you off road and want to save money on tires and gas, get some decent A/Ts (BFGs or Nitto Terra Grapplers). Not mud tires.

go with a all terrain tire, better gas mileage and they last longer. Im partial to BF Goodrich. The are the best i have tried. but no matter what tire you go with the bigger the rim you get the worst MGP your gonna get. Just me exp. |
