[QUOTE="gcmj45acp, post: 173272, member: 1004"] Toyo may own Nitto but, they are not the same tire. Different tread designs for sure. The Trail Grappler is a newer tire and I've heard good things from the people I've met who ran them. Having said this, I'll admit I'm a little gunshy with respect to Nitto tires in general because the TerraGrapplers I had on my old Dodge for a year were indeed, "squirmy." Truck felt like it was driving on slimmy, wet diapers in turns, even in dry weather. That was on 285/70R17s using the Dodge's stock wheels. After 37,000miles, my Raptor's original tires are looking like they can afford to be replaced. I'm looking toward the Toyo Open Country M/T or Goodyear MT/R w/Kevlar if I don't stick with the stockers. The one point of concern is the extra weight of the Toyo and Nitto tires. You're looking at an extra 18-20lbs of unsprung weight in the tires. I can't help but wonder if that won't create additional wear and tear on the steering and suspension. [/QUOTE]
