Default Which tires...

I have a 2002 FX4 with a 3 inch body lift on it and ive been trying to decide which tires to put on it. Right now ive got stock size but want to put on 35s for sure. I do mostly city driving not a lot of highway but i do like to go out every weekend and play in the mud. I want either an aggressive all terrain like the bfgoodrich but have also been looking at the trail grapplers and toyo m/t.

If anyone has used these tires let me know how many miles you are getting out of them and how well you like them.

Yes ive been searching but a lot are just comparisons like trail grappler vs mud grappler, bfgoodrich a/t vs procomp xtreme, etc.
Thanks for any input

Of those choices I would go with the trail grapplers but I've heard many good things about the toyo mt's

Trail grapplers are awesome.

BFG A/T. youll get what you pay for out of em. 45-50k miles. aggressive tread, awesome traction and low drone.

my dad got 45k out of his first set and has a second set on his excursion, im on my first set of 35" BFG A/Ts on my 150 and love em.

i have heard good things about NITTOs as well. not sure about TOYOs. with a M/T youre going to get less mileage out of em since theyre alot softer and im sure they will have more drone (if you care). The TOYO open country A/Ts are ****ty, i wouldnt buy em. had them on my 99 ranger and they sucked, no traction at all in the snow or rain.

I just bought the DuraTracks. They last longer then the nittos and they are bad ***. They cost a bit more per tire but in my opinion worth it.

I'm not too worried about noise that doesnt bother me. I have looked at the procomp all terrains but read some reviews on them to make me shy away from them. How well do the ko's do in the mud?

Leaning toward trail grappler because they look so badass lol

Federal Couragia MT's are amazing for the price. And if they have the size you want. I've got 5k on mine, and still look brand new. Pull good in the mud. Great wet/snow/ice traction.

Never heard of those tires, ill look at them too. They look like they have a pretty aggressive tread on them. I think i am leaning towards eiher the duratracs or trail grapplers.

Such a hard decision...
