i just got a set of 295/75 terra grapplers a couple weeks ago. Got them from a friend for $120 for a pair. So far I really like them. They seem to grip pretty well in mud (i live on a dirt driveway, and it tends to get a little muddy in teh rain). They also keep traction very well in wet conditions. Plus they are very quiet. I only have them on teh rear b/c I am in the process of saving up some extra cash (money is very tight), and I will definately be getting the same... I am very satisfied with them so far.

im running 315/75/R16's right now.. and when these wear out ill buy a new set.. i love these tires.. look great.. and perform really well.. went through some stuff that i should have used mudders for but i was able to pull thro with these..

i think i got 30K on these and still have maybe 15 to 20K left to go before they need to be replaced..

the only draw back is that they are so wide .. u need to get used to them for the winter (if applicable) they'll get away from you if you let them..

hope this helps

Depends what u want yout tires to do. If u want them for Mudding or off roading, get super swompers. Super Swomper look very aggressive, well they are but they are soft so waredown on the road fast and hum. If u want some tires they are more for the road and look bad *** and do 50/50 off road get though.

But money wise i can get swompers cheaper then these, the nittro ware down slower but cost more. Swompers ware down faster but cost less.

So if u want more street get nittro, want mudding and off roading get swompers.

Im running 285/75 terra grapplers on my truck right now. I love them. Ive had mine on my truck for close to 40,000 miles now, and they still perform extremely well.
