Default Tire Help!

Alright guys, quick question. I'm on my 6th set of mud graps in about 4 years. I'm really damn tired of hearing them, although I love the way they look & how good of mileage I get out of them.

I REALLY am thinking about pulling the trigger on a set of M16's here soon, but I hardly can find any information on them, or anyone who has them & has had them for an extended period of time. Help, I've got to get away from these Nittos!!!

Holy crap! 6 sets in 4 years?! How many miles are you gettin outta each set? As far as the M16's I've seen them around, great lookin tire. But they are a Swamper so I wouldn't think mileage would be to great. I read a lot of reviews about them before I bought my mud country's. Never really read anything bad about them as far as on road.

2 sets were used so i'm not really sure how many miles. But each new set i've had, including the ones I have now have gotten 45k+ put on them & to say I get my $'s worth out of them would be an understatement. I've had a set of Iroks before on a dodge, and I actually got good mileage out of them considering how soft they were, about 35k! Ehh, not a fan of DC things. I try and stick w/ Interco, Toyo, Nitto, or Cooper because from my experience you always get what you pay for.

You think Mud Graps are loud, then you don't even want to mess with the M16's I can't imagine them being quieter than the Mud Graps.

I can't imagine them getting better mileage either.

just my .02 cents

That's pretty good! And 35k out of an irok is unreal. Anybody I know that's ran swampers has got maybe 20k, and that's rotating every 3k. I've got 20k on my mud country's with 75% tread, they weren't cheap. And if you didn't know Cooper owns Dick Cepek and Mickey Thompson lol.

I have a buddy who has 35x20 m16s. They are alot of moolah. They are a really really soft compound but the tread spacing is closer than most MT. He got about 40k out of his mud graps before. The m16s are wearing faster because they are much aofter

Toyo M/T. I've had 5 sets and other than the price, it's hard to beat a set.
