My lift kit is on the way, so I need to get some 38" mud tires ( 38x15.5 16 or 38x14.5 16)
Does anyone here run nitto mud grapplers?..I have toyo mud terrains right now ( 35's) and they are great on road, but i want something more aggressive off road. I also want radials..no bias
When I need new tires i'm thinking of going with either

or

The Superswampers from what I hear are great off road and get good wear on the road. The Kumho's are suppose to be just like the toyo m/t's but much cheaper

I like the BFG Mud's KM2 good in mud and good on wear, ok on looks.......If I wanted a mean off road tire I would lean toward SuperSwaper TSL's, I like those, but hear that they wear fast on pavement

thanks guys, but m-16s dont come in a 38... BFGs and kuhmos don't make a 38 for a 16" rim
oh you want them for a 16...that gets harder and harder all the time to find a big tire for small wheel. Especially with load range D or E

Its even harder to find some that aren't on backorder..nittos have 30-60 day backorder
I haven't heard great things about road wear on the nitto mud's

I don't really care about roadware...I only put 22,000 kms on my truck in 2.5 years
