I have Trail Grapplers and they are great! Super aggressive looking if that's the look you are going for

That's exactly what I want because idk it seems to me the Terra's don't make it look aggressive, how are they on the road? Offroad? And what size?

Ok it's a daily driver I got to my Atv spots and want to take it into some trails sometimes but scared of these pirellis, if I do take it offroad it will be mud, sand and dirt

Sounds like either would be good. I'm putting trail grapplers on tomorrow. I go on sand and fording water about 1 1/2 ft deep with a sand bottom at the beach where I fish. So the trails will be a huge improvement for me.

Trail Grapplers if you want aggressive. Off road they are great too. They have a hard time clearing out thick mud (have turned them into slicks before) but that was on the bottom of an emptied lake bed i shouldn't have gone into in the first place . On road they are loud at freeway speeds but with music and exhaust it doesn't matter to me. Rides a little rougher because it is a 10 ply, but i will take the aggressive looks over the ride and sound any day.

That being said my next tires will be either pro comps or duratracs because i feel they are a medium in between AT and MT tires and you still get the aggressive look without as much noise or as stiff of a tire. Hope that helps!

I just put Nitto Crosstek 275/60R20 on my brand new Rock Stars. These tire are super smooth at highway speeds and make no noise...and they look pretty good too!
