More Tires...Nitto Mud Grapplers vs. Terra Grapplers vs. Pro-Comp XTerrains

[Humdingah]

I'm getting ready to throw some black 20" KMC Backseats on this pig and am currently kicking around tire choices. The Nitto Mud Grapplers look a little 'pimpish' (nothing personal to anyone who has them) for my truck which rarely sees dirt...they are about $30 cheaper than the Terra Grapplers though. Has anyone had both of these and been able to compare the ride qualities of them...I'm primarily concerned about on-road noise. Also...how have the folks with the XTerrains found them from a ride/noise standpoint?

And I've searched but there's just shy of one meeeeeeel-yon tire threads.

Thanks in advance,

Dan

P.S. The chuckleheads at the Denver Auto Show (guys from 5280 Motorsports) only quoted me $4,500 for this setup. And to think that I was only going to pay right around $2,200 for it.

if you are worried about noise then steer clear of the mud grapplers

Alex,

Thanks man...I had heard they were loud.

Hey Hum, I just put on a pair of xterrains and they look bad a**! They are pretty agressive though so the ride is a little rough to me. Sound isnt nearly as bad as i thought it would be either! I took my 38 mickey T Baja ATZ's off though, so its hard for me to give you anything too straight. They were a real nice ride/sound!

dude i love my nitto grapplers and all, but it sounds like ur in a 747 or somethin they are most likely one of the loudest tires but really good lookin thou, so its give and take

If you are looking at procomps, check out the extreme AT's. They are quiet on the road and handle well of road too.

Pulled the trigger today...KMC's at $200 each and decided I liked the look (but will probably hate the noise) of the Mud Grapplers after seeing VTStomper's post. Tires were $295 each...into everything for a shade under $2,300 with tax, mount, balance, lugs, etc.
