Default Nitto Terra Grapplers, opinions?

My original tires (LT265/70/17 BF Goodrich Rugged Trail) are at the end of their life. I am looking into new tires and came across the Nitto Terra Grapplers. I will be increasing the tire size to a LT285/70/17 and want to keep the current load rating which is "E" because of the added weight of the Cummins and my snow plow.

My question is, does anyone have any experience with the Nitto Terra Grapplers and what are your opinions (Tire wear, noise, how dothey handle in snow, etc...). Picture of them on your truck and any opinions would be appreciated.

I just recently bought the Terra Grapplers. However, I have only about 1200 miles on them. but far as road noise....I did not notice a difference from stock tires. I hear more wind noise at highway cruise than anything. For snow....sorry buddy, I live in S Florida! Overall...I am pleased. and 95% of the trucks I see down here have the Terra Grapplers too. Hope I helped

sorry for all the posts. I forgot, these are 305/55-20 on a 20X9 rim with a 0 offset

I am running the LT295 X 70 X 17 and really like them . Road noise not bad at all, a little rougher riding than the Michelins I was running but not bad. Then seem to be wearing good, 13,000 miles on them so far, balanced and rotated about ever 4000 miles. They are decent in the mud and fresh snow. Haven't found anything good on packed snow......
