    There are NITTO Trail Grapplers, NOT TOYO. Nitto is a subsidiary if Toyo, but a different company. But yes, they rock.

    i was in the same boat as you. I bought a set of nitto trail grapplers. They look super agressive and are very very quiet on the road. All i drive is highway and you can't hear a thing. That's what i would recommend.

    I've had so many damn different tires on my vehicles it's crazy. From Swampers to the tires I have now.

    But I love the Hankook Dynapro mt's and these Fierce Attitudes I have now.

    Comfy, quiet, and do killer in mud, sand, snow, rain and ice.

    I'm happy. And under a grand for all 4 35" inchers...I couldn't pass up the deal.

    i don't know about not hearing anything now. i sure hear mine on the highway lol now don't get me wrong they are no where near as loud as others i have run but, they are still a m/t and they make noise.

    i can say that they actually handle the road quite well i can take corners sort of fast actually they are great in that aspect and they did do quite well off road
    so overall i give them a 9 out of 10 lol

    Thanks Ross.
    Yes you saw it when is was stock and probably didn't pay much attention to it because there where a lot nicer looking rigs there.
    Are you and the family coming down again this year? Maybe even hitting some NV dirt with us?

    These. I only hear these tires if I pay attention to them, but they are definitely not a distraction on-road. Outstanding off-road perfomance too. I had a set of Dean Mud Terrain SXT's on my Jeep. They were amazingly quiet on the highway and performed very well off-road, but they didn't wear worth a damn so I wouldn't recommend them.

    I know your decision has already been made, but just to add to the info... My sister runs duratracs on her trd sport and I run km2's. Both really close to the same size, mine are 265/75r16 and her duratracs sound a lot louder then my km2's especially when slowing to a stop.. You get a small hum from the km2's but forget about it pretty quick, even with the windows opened..

    WOW! Thanks for all of the input everyone! Keep it going since this can help out others who may be in the same boat as I was in. Actually, next time that I am looking to buy I will probably come right back here!

    If you're doing for mostly looks get what you like best or you'll likely keep looking at your truck down the road wishing that you had just spent the extra and got what you liked best.

    I've got cooper st max on my work truck and I can't hear em over the diesel! They look good though and they seem to do okay in mud, that's all they run up here on our work trucks and theres plenty of mud.

    I loved my duratracs.

    I'd love a set of MTRs or the Dynapro MTs or the fierce attitudes lol
