Default Needing new tires soon.

Ok guys and maybe gals... I am starting the hunt for new tires. I currently have the 35 inch NITTO Trail Graps and have been very happy with them. I have 35k on them now so I do have some time to make a decision on new rubber. I am thinking of staying with NITTO Trails, or maybe switching to BFG KM2s or General Grabbers. Any input would be greatly appreciated. I want aggressive and don't care about road noise.

Grabbers are very heavy...I have KM2's now with 50K on them and a brand new set of trails in the garage waiting to go on ... KM2's went up a $100 a tire

Personally, I prefer the look of the Trails over the KM2 anyway. But I prefer having pretty much any AT tire over a MT.

were you not happy with your KM2's? I really like my Trails Graps too but kind of want to change things up a bit since everyone and their mother is going with Trail Graps.....

Nitto are nice tires for the price. I am personally a fan of the Cooper STT as zimmer said. They will be what I am putting on my truck when these toyos are worn out

Naw...the KM2's were awesome...I don't want the spend $2000 on a new set...got 295/65/20 trails for $1300 to the door. I'll give them a try for $700 less.
