Default Which tire has the best ride, Pro Comp Extreme A/T, or Nitto Terra Grapplers?

I am wanting a good riding, quiet, and long lasting tire. Any opinions will be greatly appreciated!

Go for the exteme a/t....they are quiet and balances out nicely...and dont look like sissy boy tires like the nitto terra grapplers. I ran the extreme a/t last go around but i wanted more aggressive tire so i switched to the Kumho m/t. The kumhos were very quiet at first but now there is no question the extreme a/ts are much quieter and i would say rival that of the stock bfg. They also performed as well as i could expect. In fact i may very well put them back on(they are in the garage)as they still have lots of mileage on them.

I researched tires and read forums for weeks before I bought Toyo Open Country's. Everything I heard about Nitto's was either they were too noisy or wore down too fast, or both.

The Toyo's have been excellent, quiet and agressive looking, most importantly they perform great- mud, snow and daily driving. Their tread design cancels noise above 15 mph so you don't get that howling on the highway that's usually common with agressive tread patterns.

Do a search on Toyo's on this forum and you'll see what I mean.

IM sure you mean the Open Country M/T:




There is also the Open Country A/T which look very close to the sissy boy terra grapplers:

That's correct- Open Country M/T

Damn! 68? here in Kansas today, I knew if I held out long enough the driveway would melt without shoveling

Wink Re: Which tire has the best ride, Pro Comp Extreme A/T, or Nitto Terra Grapplers?

Pro Comp Extreme A/T's are the way to go. there a very quiet tire and it goes anywhere with out a problem, they like water, sand, mud, rocks, & dirt from what i have driven, i have yet to drive on snow. they look like new with 17k miles on them. they are directional tires, so rotating them is only front to back and so on.
