I know a couple guys who log about 18-20k miles a year get a new set yearly, just before hunting season.

For a tire that wears and handles on pavement almost as well as an A/T, but can play off-road almost with any M/T, the FCIIs are an unbeatable choice. Great write-up on them in the August issue off Off-Road Adventures, by the way...

I like the fc II's a lot, i was scared of buying 33 1250 20 because i dont want to drop $1200 each year, nittos are everywhere here to, everyone has them, i am totally happy with the ltz's but i wish they were a little more aggressive, i think the fc II's come in 315 65 20, which i think would look and perform good

I traded the Terra Grapplers and stock 20's with 10,000 miles on them and they still looked new.

I can't wait until next month when Nitto releases it's new "Trail Grappler"

They have 2 different sidewalls.

Those new Nitto's might be just the ticket for you,plus I know most of us are dying to see some mounted and get opinions from someone who owns a set.

I just put a set of 31x10.5x17 Nitto Terra Grapplers on my Grand Cherokee after I lifted it 2". I'm hoping I get similar tread life out of those that I've gotten out of the Cepek FCIIs on my truck. About 22k miles on those and barely a noticeable sign of wear...
