New Rockstars & Grapplers

Looks good, F/O, but you should have put the gator print on the outside.

Rotate them at least every 5k miles or you ain't heard "loud" yet (when the fronts start to cup). I didn't rotate mine often enough, and only got 22k miles out of them.

Yea. I'm a bit pissed that they mounted them skin side in. I ordered them already mounted and balanced and I didn't realize till after they were on the truck and now its not worth the trouble.

Thanks for the info on rotating. I was thinking about 5k or so, but I sure as hell hope to get more than 22k for how much I spent on them. Did you cross rotate them or just front to back? I haven't really got a good answer from any shop. Def much better from an actual user!

The shop mounted mine that way too, but I made them remove and re-mount.

I always rotate just straight front to back. There was once a "school of thought" that said because crossing them changed the rotational direction of the tire, you'd risk belt separation. I'm sure that's an out-dated view, but I have stuck with it. Still not a solid answer for you, so maybe someone else will chime in.

Im on my third set and love them don't worry you will get used to the noise.

How many miles have you been getting out of them and how often are you rotating?

Great wheel and tire choice. Looks terrific with your rig color..I have 37" x 22" Toyo M/T's and they are very loud as well, but with the noise from the s/c and exhaust, I can't hear them..BRUTE

[MONSTERMATT]

ok, i just went with the toyo m/t tires after having the nittos (grapplers) and there is not even a comparison as far as noise goes , the toyos are soooo much quiter , not even up for debate IMO i think for the aggressiveness and profile of the toyo, and the ride u cant go wrong they rule!!! but the grapplers are cool too thou

I was very happy with the offroad (mud) performance of mine (37x13.5x18), but I didn't rotate them often enough and only got 22K miles out of them. I probably could have gone another 10K, but I was getting stuck too often. They're one of the loudest tires there is, but you don't seem like you'd be bothered by that.
