Anyone running the Trail Grappler M/T tires on your Raptor? I have experience with the Dune Grapplers which were one of my favorite tires but in Georgia sand is kind of hard to find. More just "run of the mill" off road now. How loud are they and how do they hold up highway and off road?

Your truck looks awesome by the way.

You will love these tires! I had a set on my Raptor for awhile. You will love them. Whisper quiet and handle like a dream!:evillol:

Thanks Boss...........I did love my dune grapplers. I ran Nittos on my vette and one of the best tires I ever ran on them. Even the slicks were pretty good.

what you guys runing. The 35's or the 37's. I have the perch mod and should be able to squeeze the 37's on stock rims. I can see JeepSRT8 is running 37's. Any fit issues?

Thank you for the compliment, its a work in progress.

My 37's ran okay on top perch, little rubbing here and there, ran ocotillo with no problems, but I really wanted to get off top perch (from what the consensus is on this site) so I went with Glassworks fenders and liners, and dropped to mid perch. Outlaw did a top notch install on my ride, the fitment is great. These Nittos are a good tire for the price.

Ok Ok Ok--You made me feel bad!! Jezzzzzzz ---- can't believe I am doing this! These were the worst tires I have ever run bar none. Made one trip to NM and I did not know if I was going to make it back they were so bad on the hwy they came off after a week and Discount took them back. It was summer and I played with the tire pressure as well still were not stable at hwy speeds over 65 and I run a lot at 80 to 85 (speed limit). On a 2 lane road from Pecos to the ranch in NM a large tank truck hauling the mail baby in the opposite lane almost cause me to lose control because it started the dreaded "head shake" I know a motorcycle term. The truck was moving right to left back and forth and ALMOST went too far to recover however was slowing enough that it stopped. These were 35's and you will still get some rubbing on the middle perch at suspension travel esp turning.

I will post a pic of those tires on mine when I took it to the ranch for there one trip. I made a lengthy post a couple of years ago about these tires. If you run 37's on mid perch get ready to tear the hell out of your truck!! This pick is before new springs and the fenderwell mods but is on the top perch.
