Which tires to buy???

so far im looking at the open country M/T mainly now but also like the mud grapper, super swamper M16, and dick cepek crusher...It needs to be a 355/60R20 or 37x14.50R20...just wondering what you guys think 90% is gonna be on road but i do seem mud and like the agrssive look...i have the open country A/T's now and like them but i want somthing with more bite they go good but spin instead of dig.

I have the Mud Grapplers on my truck and absolutley love the way they look. They are about as agressive as you can get and still maintain ride comfort.

i had a firend with an f-150 lifted with 35 inch mud grapplers...they looked awesome but wore out in like 20,000 miles. honestly i think the toyo at's are by far the best for traction. i had a set i got for free from behind a shop someone threw out that had just about enough to pass/just fail inspection. i used them as drag tires for a season and a half and have been so far thus unable to even come close the launch power i could throw at those and still hook up. and still with all those burnouts they lasted for what seemed to be forever

oh ok i get it now sorry my dumb ass read it and thought you meant on road traction. uh all i could really say for off road that i have first hand experience is the classic bfg mud terrains. had them on my old F-250 and she never got stuck (expect for when she broke down) lol. and i got a real good deal on them at sams club actually.

yea i get the feeling they are kinda old school if that makes any sense people with big old trucks who usually only have 15 or 16 inch rims rock those alot. i grabbed them because of the deal i found and was very pleasantly surprised. all the never tire brands talk about how thier stuff is engineered to evacuate the mud and rotate just right and ride comfy and stuff. the people who designed those things musta been like well hell put some huge knobbies on that sucker and let her scream. very crude but extremely effective at throwing mud in all directions when your ripping it up
