I know how a lot of people have terra grapplers. I have heard both good and bad about them. My friend got a set recently on a tacoma and they seemed incredibly soft. I want a set for my 06 QC (305/55R20). What are the opinions/reviews of the tire, and will those even fit on my truck with the stock rim?

 

My dad ran a set of terra's on his excursion, and they were horrible. No good in sand, snow or rock. They wouldnt float in sand or snow, and they wouldnt bite on rocks. Could have been that there was a 10k# boat riding on them, but wee didnt like them. They wore decent, but fast. I think he only got around 20k miles on them.

 

You know, tires are the thing you can't go by opinions on. You read how one guy NEVER rotates his tires, NEVER checks the air in them, tows, hauls and gets 65k miles out of them with never an issue. Next guy reads that and posts up how he had the same tire and fought with balancing them, horrible feel and they were bald at 15k miles.

NOW HOW THE HELL IS THIS POSSIBLE?

I guess if you get enough reports, you average it out. Over 1700 reviews on one popular tire store site has them as the second highest owner rating behind the Firestone Destination A/T (never woulda guessed that, myself. Firestone Destination???).

Now I have a set on my Grand Cherokee 4x4. My first choice was Mickey Thompson ATZs but at over $80 per tire difference, I couldn't justify it. So I "settled" for the Terra Grapplers.

A little over a year and 12k miles on them and they show NO wear whatsoever. Good trail tire that I've taken camping and fishing on some fairly sloppy trails, but nothing too deep. As far as sand goes, BEST tire I've ever used on the beaches of south Georgia and Florida. Also the heavy siping is fantastic during these HEAVY Florida downpours where you can get standing water and hydroplane very easily.

I had a set of BFG tires on the Jeep before and in two years of trips up to my farm I've had to put five plugs in the tires for nails, screws and in one case a dried cotton stalk that punctured the tire. Three trips up around the farm with these tires and I've yet to have to put a plug in them. Did pull a screw out one once, but it never pierced all the way through...

I "settled" for these tires for my Grand Cherokee, but I'd buy another set in a heartbeat and would not consider it "settling" the next time...

 

I had them on my truck 6 months ago, they were alright.. i put about 40k thousand on them and then they dry rotted.. if you rotate them every 5k they seem to wear nicely, but i was disappointed that they dry rotted after a year.. I probably wouldntbuy another set. I like my km2's, 10k and minimal wear. It really all depends on how you treat the tire, if you take care of them, they're going to last. I have a few buddies who have gotten 60k out of them, and i would have if they didnt dry rot.

 

A timely subject. I'm about this close (holding finger and thumb 1/2 inch apart) from buying a set of Terra Grapplers. More opinions, please!!

I know one thing - Hemi + almost bald old tires + no limited slip = excessive wheelspin. In other words, I need tires soon!

 

I think you would like them, they would look good on your truck as well, also with your wheels if you dont go off road, look into the cooper zeon LTZ, alot ofthe 2wd guys have them, great looking road tire.

 

Well, I don't off-road as a hobby, but I do leave the pavement on occasion, either in the yard or otherwise. And I'm not against hitting a trail on occasion if it isn't excessively difficult. The big thing for me is pulling some weight on wet grass, staying quiet on the highway, and having some ability to drive through mud and loose surfaces if needed.

That Cooper Zeon LTZ looks pretty good as well. Tread is somewhat agressive, which is what I want. I wonder if it's quite on the highway.

 

i like my zeons a lot, im replacing them with trail grapplers because i hate my wheels and want a 17 inch package, zeons were good in the snow and dirt

 

My Terra Grapplers have been really good to me. Seems to perform well for me in all weather and trails

 

I think I'll go with a set. 1) they are price friendly. 2) they have a good look and a perfect mix of highway/offroad. 3) Hear mostly good reviews, and I would take care of them; I can't afford to buy tires!! So would the 305/55R20 fit on the stock rim?
