I have 37" mud grapplers right now and I won't be going with them next when it's time for new tires. Deff can't ride without the radio on without hearing the tires. They look great but not worth the noise IMO. Those trail grapplers look like a good choice.

Can you put a picture of your rims? And what are you running?

I have the mud graps, noise ain't too bad. It's loud but you get used to it. I will say they won't be my next tire. I'll prolly be going with some toyo mt or trail graps

Yup. My cousin is a manger at a just tires and told me they have a financing program thing thru Goodyear. Any purchase $250 or more has no interest for 6 months! You can just go to goodyears site and apply there.

I met up with a guy in a Jeep yesterday out on a trail. He had BFG KM2's on his Jeep and said they were the quietest MT he has ever ran.

By far the best option all around as well. Mud grappler are very loud and wear out quickly. The Toyos and Nitto trails are nice tires but both are ridiculously heavy. The KM2 offers excellent performance while being lightweight and lasting forever, I got 65k miles out of my set. Replacing them with Toyos was a huge disappointment.

35x12.50r18 KM2: 66 pounds
35x12.50r18 Toyo MT & Nitto Trail: 81 pounds

I live up in northern Illinois where we do get snow. And I've heard the trails are pretty good in the snow. How do the muds handle? Cuz I do want a very nice aggressive look, but also want to be able to stay on the road in the winter lol. And also the muds are actually a little cheaper too. Any advice would be great and feel free to post pix!
Guys I've heard just the opposite so I bought a set of MT's and to be a very aggressive looking tire and not near as loud as I thought they would be. Guys also told me they wear good as long as u rotate them as you should. Love mine and not loud as I expected. Just had to put my two cents in. Guys from discount auto told me they install a lot of these and last a long time or I would not have bought any. I've heard much louder tires than mine and I don't like loud tires. So research with people that owns a set. Surprised so of you say there loud not to me.
