Being delivered shortly.

 

Please post pic of the full ensemble when installed.

 

I will. Still trying to find the right sized glue on engine vents and skull valve stem caps. I'll keep you posted.

 

Nice. You should look into those stick on chrome handle covers as well.

 

Got a picture of them??

 

I am currently running the DuraTracs and love them, have my second set sitting in my garage ready to go on next week. I have run the BFG All-Terrains and the DuraTracs and the DuraTracs are by far a much better tire. I put 100,000 KM on the All-Terrains and 120,000 KM on the DuraTracs. I have done long road trips, been in the mud, snow, slick rock, and anything that I can throw at my truck and haven't had an issue. I have 2 plugs in 2 tires, and they still hold air and are going strong. They look agressive, are agressive, and are fantastic on ice and in the rain.

 

Loving the Nittos on my daily driver. I drive a lot of miles so it was important that I picked a tire that would work for me. Noise was not a priority for me as much as wear, and performance. If you want a quiet tire then you have to look elsewhere. If you want a tire that looks aggressive is smooth at 75 MPH and performs well consider the Nittos.

 

I really like this look, so they make a lot of noise? Or its something you can handle for a daily use??

 

265/65/17 Nitto Crosstek.

They ride like a dream, bite well enough in bad weather (NW Indiana lake effect snow. Pretty nasty stuff.), and unless my window is down in the rain, I can't really hear them.

IIRC they were about $165 a piece and have some insane mileage warranty. These tires have been on 2 different sets of wheels and 3 different trucks totalling 27k miles over the past 16 months.

When I commuted 90 miles a day I used DynaPro ATMs look at my build for looks. They held up well. I liked them in the snow. Currently I am running goodyear MTRs. They are heavy and aggressive, also they need to be rotated frequently. I would not run them if I still had to commute that much.

They don't make lots of noise its just that they are not quiet. Its a fairly consistent hum associated with a MT tire. I drive a lot of miles so for me it had to be a great tire or it was not a consideration. Its best to extensive research before you decide. That is what I did.

 

Here's a picture of my old Duratracs when I was just cruising along doing 20 on a highway off ramp, tread got a huge chunk taken out of it and sidewall split almost all the way to the bead, no idea what I hit. They were great tires for the 55,000 miles I had them, but them sidewalls are like paper. (Damage is at the 2 o'clock position in the picture below)



My wife's rig has the Cooper Discoverer A/T3 and have been super impressed with them. Really quiet, and great dry at wet traction. Look decently aggressive too. (Below is not my picture, found on google, too dark to take pictures for ya of my wife's vehicle)

 

I love my ko2s

 

No complaints with my 265/74 BFG AT KO2s after several thousand miles, equally happy on trails and roads.

 

Anyone running Nitto Terra Grappler? A few Jeep guys I know swear by them.

 

I really dig my ST Maxx, I had them in 265/75/16 and they were amazing, I recently went to a 285/75/16 and while they are still really nice in all conditions they are a heavy tire and I lost some MPG's. I'd run them again for sure though.

 

Have you had them in really wet snow / slush conditions ?

 

Cooper ATP's

 

Nitto Terra Grappler G2 good balance between off or on road! And come with a mileage warranty 50,000/65,000.
