 Subject: GOT NEW TIRES ON "PICS"
IP: Logged
Message:
If nobody has seen the new Terra Grapplers on a Dakota I got mine on yesterday 265/75/16 and not a millimeter to spare. Gonna have to sinch the torsion bars up a little in front. Probably about 1/2" since the front sits about 1" lower than the rear as is. Anyway tires are cool, I like their looks, they ride good, low noise, smooth man smooth. I have always been a BFG fan when it comes to truck tires but when Nitto came out with some truck tires I had to try them. Glad i did.

Nice, what did those bad boys cost ya?
what type of tire are they, (mud, street, snow, etc..)?
does the green stripe go away after a few miles? (looks kinda ricey)
you Do Not have a lift right? any rubbing at all?
those are the same size tires as a new Z71 (I think)

They are all terrain tires, just like the BFG's. maybe a little more aggressive i think. Yes the green and blue stripes are chalk markings from the factory they wear off quickly. I had minor rubbing on my front bumper but my truck sits 1" lower in front than in back, cranked t-bars 1/2" and all was better.

BTW NICE TIRES!! I'll have to get some closeups of mine today.

Nice looking tires, Ebola ... I don't think they're quite as aggressive as the BFG's though.
One word of advice .... resize the pics! They're friggin' HUGE! lmao
