Default Nitto terra grappler vs. trail grappler
I'm looking to buy new tires for my 2004 FX4. I like the look of the trail grapplers but I'm not sure how many miles to expect out of them. Which tires do yall prefer?

You should expect about the same mileage between the two. Nitto did alot of R&D on the trail grappler.

Trail grapplers look better but the Terra grappler's may be more practical for most people.

So what size would look the best 295 70 R18's? I saw the 35x12.5's on a leveled fX4 and they rubbed the A arm, and i dont want it to rub at all.

I love my Trail Grapplers. 35" tires rub the control with some wheels and not with others. It depends on the wheels offset. 35s will rub the corner of the wheel well without trimming with a level though.
