I had these on my Ex and although they were nothing to run home to mom about, they were great tires...then again don't take my word for it, I can honestly say I never really tested them out, if you know what I mean

Plus one on the Yokohamas.

Great tires.

I have had two sets of terra grapplers and had both trucks with them in snow. I think they did just fine. As soon as I get some extra cash they will be on the new fx4 I don't know anyone w them who has been bummed about having them. I have read that on 3/4 ton diesels or bigger they wear faster because of the extra weight

I had the Duratrac on my old truck and loved them! Went through absolutely everything, but two reasons why I had to scratch them from the current list. They really hurt my MPGs and my lovely new bride hated riding in the truck with the hmmm (which really wasn't bad for such an aggressive tire in my book). So being as I'm older and (slightly) more responsible, I just can't justify them this time around. Really my new F150 is more of a show boat/hauler then my old truck was ('05 V8 Dakota), which I beat the **** out of on the trails.
My brother in law has these on his truck and he wasn't actually a big fan. . . which is surprising based on the three thumbs up in this thread alone. I honestly wasn't a big fan of the looks either. I would like it to at least "look" like I could go through some mud. . .I'm not saying these tire can't, just not a fan of the looks. Also, I don't think it is avaliable in the 275/70-18 size I'm looking for.
I had briefly thought about this, but something about messing with the original manufactures design scares me. Have you had this done in the past? How did it work out for you? Does it void the warranty? Not that warranty claims on tires ever work out anyways!
I have never really heard someone who has not liked the Terra Grapplers honestly. I'm a little worried about quicker wear with towing, because I will be dragging our 8,000 lb wet & loaded 5'ver around pretty often. . . . But all tire do wear quicker under a load, especially something with a slightly softer compound that makes it perform well in winter. . . why can't they just make a tire that does it all?!

The decision seems to be getting more difficult the more I read/research/think. . .maybe I should just skip all that next time!

I was down to the Terras vs. the Rugged Terrains, too, so I did lots of review reading. I do remember hearing about the Terras wearing relatively quickly.

If noise is an issue why not look into the general grabbers? Reviews say they are dead silent and they look aggressive in person. Winter rated as well, rugged terrains and nittos are not.

They are winter rated, but I haven't heard any good reviews (personally) about them in the winter- some guys around here tried them out and bailed on them in short order. Coupled with the fact they have a massively overbuilt carcass- it makes them pretty much bomb proof, but at a cost.

BobLobLaw

When I priced out tires the generals came out to be the cheapest locally. I really like the way the look, the overbuilt carcass with the rim protector makes the tire look bigger than it really is. I've heard that once you get some wear on the nittos the ice performance goes down the drain.

smurfs_of_war

Yeah, that's the cost I'm referring to. They're heavy but I suspect quite durable. Might be worth a shot if the price is right I guess.

Alright, so I ended up purchasing a set of these BF Goodrich Rugged Terrains...so far I am happy but I'm hoping somebody will have a little input for me here:

I have a Platinum F150 with 20" wheels that came with Pirelli Scorpions 275/55-20. They were crappy tires IMO, so I wanted something a little beefier. Moving from 55 to 60 only added about an inch to the diameter of the tire as far as I can tell. Needless to say, my speedometer, odometer, and dashboard MPG calculations are all off now. So...assuming I keep these tires, I know that I will be having the computer reprogrammed. Speedo is off by about 3 mph, therefore I know the odometer will be off as well as my MPG calculations that the computer does for me. So here's the thing:

Can anyone tell me for certain what this is doing for my MPG? The dashboard MPG calculations are definitely off, but not much from what they were previously (I think, it seems really inconsistent now). I just want to know if these tires are actually killing my MPG, or if I'm being paranoid, or if the MPG gauge is going haywire, etc lol...I just don't know. somebody help me here! Can anyone speak from experience?
