I'm comparing tires and rims and seeing what I like. It's going to be awhile before I get new tires and rims but looking at my options and wondering what is the best.
Is anybody running this setup? VV

 

Also looking at this. VV

 

Not running them, but I like the Methods. More simple look. Wish they didn't have the bolts around the edge though. Everyone and their mother has that look these days...

 

I hear ya. My current rims have em and I don't like that look. I like the total blackout look. I like them because they (too me) are a bridge between the old steel rims and the new modern rims.

 

That style of rim is super common on the work trucks of a lot of the guys I work with. They seem to love them. Not my thing (frankly most current rim designs don't appeal to me) but rims are such a personal preference decision that you should get whatever you like and can afford.

As for the tires, again, the Trail Grapplers are HUGELY popular out here. We spend a lot of time in mud on crappy "roads", lots of time on the highway, and some time in snow during the winter. I did a ton of research and talked to many guys that had all sorts of tires for the conditions we drive in and ended up going with the Goodyear Duratracs, and I am very happy that I did. They are not quite as aggressive looking as the Nittos, but performance-wise, they are in my opinion a better all around tire for the conditions I described above. They are aggressive enough for the off road conditions, while being quiet on the highway, rated for snow, and from what I have read everywhere, have an edge in longevity after lots of road miles. I put a set on my truck 2 weeks after I bought it and have been running them for the past month and I LOVE the way they ride.

That being said, if you are primarily doing the offroad thing and want a softer tire with a more gnarly tread pattern, the Nittos might be a good option. Like I said, they are basically standard issue in the TX and NM oilfields.
