    Im tire shopping for my 2k12 and and am finally in $$ position for Tire-Wheel-Lift and am shooting for this same setup. Badass! Wheels are Gear Alloy 18" and tires are 275. I have a Garage Floor Epoxy Business and im looking for a more agressive look!

    That is bad ass. I would do that to mine in a heartbeat. I drive 30,000 miles a year. Shouldn't drag the fuel gauge down to bad...

    pretty sure i've heard these tires wear out REALLY fast - but somebody correct me if i'm wrong. tire size itself is fine, though you may have to do some trimming even with the lift.

    love the trial grapplers had them on my 94 toy pickup but they were 35s. drove about 30 miles back and forth through town 6 days a week and they were very quite for mud terrains compared to all the other mts ive had and the wear was great didnt seem to have much wear at all! i will be buying these for my 12 when i get the $$ together.. good luck and they look awesome this was my 94

    they did not wear fast for me except for one when my alignment was bad and i didnt realize it but fixed the alignment and everything was great over all i would recomend these tires!

    The guy at America's Tire said I'd regret it in the long run but this setup will be to sweet on my 2012 MGM Double Cab... They sure are expensive! Cheapest I've found them is on Onlinetires for 300 a piece, but then you don't get the warranty. I've also thought about these rims with Terra Grapplers instead in a 275 but can't picture them together.

    Ive read they can be squirmy on the highway but thay may be with heavier vehicles.

    I have 35x12.50x17 Nitto Trail Grapplers and wouldn't change them for the world. I've had them on for 2 years and this is my daily driver. I'm surprised at how much meat is left after this long. I do rotate every oil change though never going longer than 6 months so far.

    Way better than mud grapplers. Buddy had them on all his trucks.

    I had 35s on my sierra. They wore great. Good road manners. Really nice offroad.
    Tested em in clay, mud, rocks, sand, and creeks.
    IMO they're one of the top mud tires.
