I purchased a set back in November of 2012. I drive around 200 miles a week and have had awful tread wear on them. They wear a lot quicker than my previous bfg all terrains which came factory on the truck. They lasted 50,000 miles. When I take the truck offload. The tires perform awful. If you are in wet grass, you have to put it in 4X4. I would definitely not recommend the tires to anyone.

I've had my TRAILS for about 7K miles now. Good riding, minimal noise on the highway, and no complaints. I think they are a great tire!! Love the looks and get lots of compliments and questions about them. I haven't had them off roading yet.

I have 11k miles on my Trail Grapplers. I've rotated them twice and they show very little to no wear so far. They ride great and are quieter than most mud terrains. They are a little louder than ATs. My truck is so quiet a little tire hum at highway speed doesn't bother me. I had Terra Grapplers on my last truck and they were great tires but I wanted a more aggressive look this time. No regrets here.

Put on 37" Trails on my 250 PSD at 65k miles. Sold the truck at 98k miles and still had a good 8-10k left on them. Rode well and wore well.

I also have nothing but good things to say about my set. Mine have been on for about 11k miles and are showing very little wear. I like them enough that I'm selling this set and going up a size when my Rancho 4" arrives. They definitely have some bite offroad as well. Aren't too loud on the highway but definitely hum. And they are some of the best looking tires out there.

No complaints on the 35x12.50x17 Trail Graps on our 2011 F350. Good tire and not too loud. I still like the Mud Graps better, but you'll get more miles out of the Trail Graps.

Default Good Wear

Ive put about 35,000 miles on my trail grapplers. Id say they have about 60 % tread left. i rotate em every 3000 miles though. Maybe a little overkill but i get em rotated for free. Every oil change. Great tire all around.
