You can't go wrong with the dural graplers, I bought a set for my 06 2500 Ram and Thier the best tires I have ever owned.. The dural grapler is not a off road tire, but they have better off road traction than the stock BFG R/T TA, I have yet to get stuck off road in the rain ( I'm not talking mud bogs, just off road trails )

I kept the stock tire size and thier quiet on the highway, ride and handeling is dam fine..
Pics posted in my garage.

Have a couple thousand miles on my Nitto Dura Grapplers and absolutely love them. Ride great and super quiet. Been through some slop with them and with the truck in 4-wheel drive had no issues.

Went with 285x75x17 and they look great and no rubbing at all.

These things are going to last me forever I think. Running my pressures at 60psi front and 55psi rear and they are wearing great. (Bump the pressures up for towing or hauling obviously).

I love it! Gives it a good look and improved the ride. I always noticed that when I backed out of my driveway that the front end always seemed like it 'bottomed' out. When I put the Kore kit on it, immediate improvement in ride and handling. Also rides a helluva lot better offroad also. I would say it would be wise to invest in one.

Default about to buy tires also

Pizzo - Did you get new tires yet and if so what did you settle on?

Hemi6677 - The Nittos look good. Thanks for the post. Did you notice any difference in fuel consumption?

Thanks guys...

I didn't buy anything yet, on the broke side of town. my buddy gave me some that will fit that will make it through the winter. but that's about it. I went shopping around and the best price i found was at NTB $156 for just the tire. Sam's club was the highest with $202 just the tire. that was a michelin I think I just laughed and walked away. my buddy had a used set i just tossed them on till I'm back to work.

i've had my dura grapplers on for about 4k miles now. they are awesome. i have alot more trouble breaking them loose now lol. but they are wearing great. some dumbass ran right into my front fender and front driver side tire. the rim got dinged up, but the tire is fine. i am going to try to have insurance replace the tire and everything anyways just to be safe. the idiot went the wrong way through a clearly marked parking lot and hit me at the blind side corner of the building. his daughter's excuse..."i'm sorry, we're from out of town and my dad gets kinda spazzy when he has his coffee". welp, hope he enjoys that cup of coffee, bc it's going to be an expensive one.
