Default Tire confusion!

Hey guys so I have been waiting for over two weeks for my nitto terra grapplers 305/60/18 and apparently that size has been on backorder and theres no telling if they are coming in in the near future. Ive looked everywhere and no body has any. I love the tire and i think that size is perfect. Can you guys recommend to me any good similar tires or maybe a different size? Thanks for you help guys

i will be getting either 305X70R18E or go a little wider with the 325X65R18E both are 35 inch tires.im not sure of the pricing on the terra grapplers but these mickeys are a little spendy. but from what ive been told on this site and a few reviews ive read they last from 40-50k miles if you take care of them, thats well worth the price for me. i also condisdered the terra grapplers but i like this tread design more, it looks more agressive for a a/t tire. and ive talked to a truck shop here and they are in stock and can get them in about a day. definatley a good tire to consider. cant wait to place my order, just got to get the wifes civic out of the shop first before she wil let me order anything else.
