Anyone else for some input?



Wondering if anyone has had experience with Nitto tires.... The Trail Grpler and the Mud Graplers... look like nice tires but wouldn't mind some experienced input with these...

Our Kumho's are LT285/75r17 from P265 oem Wranglers noise yes especially when cold but actually the antenna causes more.

Awesome - let's keep it going as we're getting some good info here...



Kumho: Those look like really nice tires but they don't have a 37" in a 17" rim <img src='http://www.canadianhummerclub.com/forum ... ngHead.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':banghead:' />



Crawlers: Yeah - Those look like the cat's meow, don;t think best choice for an all-round tire... How are they in the snow? Can't help but notice they only have 2 sizes?? Luckily the 37" is my size! <img src='http://www.canadianhummerclub.com/forum ... lleyes.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='::)' />

How long have you had them now?

They are incredible in the snow they are noisey on the highway but I have had them a year now and the still have 3/4 tread left on the over 10000 so I figure about 40k out of them and they are a great rock crawling tire.
