I have it narrowed down to a Set of NITTO Terra Grapplers @ $121/ea, or Hankook DynaPro ATM RF10's for $127/ea.

So, opinions? Anyone running the Hankook? I really like white letter tires.

You might want to avoid the Nitto's? :dunno: (Thread below) Also do a google search on them, I just did for a set of winter tires I was going to purchase and all I can say is, I am glad I did!

Yeah, those are Mud Grapplers, and they were a much bigger size than I am going to run. They are talking about 20"+ rims; I am running a stock 17" rim and tire setup 265/70/17....

They get pretty good reviews. I am most likely going with the Hankooks anyhow.

 

Thanks for the info though!

 

No problem, didn't realize they were a much bigger, different designed tire :dunno:

Wow, nobody is running these tires? What the hell. :lol:

 

I have never used the hankooks on my truck but we have ran them on high hp front wheel drive cars..(i know totally different animal) BUT from what i read they have simiar characteristics.. Dry traction on the road might not be the absolute best, but its because they run a hard compound that wears like IRON.

 

I am looking into the hankook mud terrains they look real mean and reportedly get 50k+ miles out of a set. I dont think the terra grapplers will give u the mileage of the hankooks, mainly because they have a softer compound.

the hankook RF10s are awesome i have a set of 305/70/16s on my half ton they look awesome and drive nice and quiet down the highway my dads dually also has them on his he pulls big loads on 7 hour trips they are holding up nice i wouldn't recomend the nittos have a friend thats blown out 2 terra grabblers already

I don't have them yet, but I'm now seriously considering them. They are $23 per tire more expensive than the Nitto TG's here ($164 vs. $141) but they seem to have pretty good reviews. My experience with the Nitto's on my old truck were fair. I liked them for ride and handling but they did not last as long as I wanted (35,000 miles).

From the Tire guys I have talked to, the Hankooks should last longer than the Nitto's. I am getting a set of 4 of the Hankook DynaPro ATM's for $538 OTD mounted and balanced through Cooks Performance here in IL.

didnt last 35k? man thats terrible mileage out of a road tire. For example my Pro-Comp xtreme A/Ts have over 25k on them and are still at half tread. They are also a more aggressive off-road tire than TG's.

The Nittos lasted 35k. I was hoping for more.

I got 54K out of a set of Summit mud dawgs. They look just like the Maxxis Bighorn and they are alot more agressive tire. I could get 60 out of them if Id have had the front end aligned. Nittos are overrated IMO. Im getting ready to try a set of Buckshots on my Z71, getting them for 171 a tire M/B/I. Plus, how many trucks do you see with Nitto's? Almost all of them are covered in chrome.....i wont get them just cause everyone else has them but thats my opinion.

Its a "no name" tire but it is the exact same as the Maxxis bighorn.

Not any good at just posting the pics

Id get them again but i can get the buckshot for 70 less a tire...i was lookin at the bighorn and the goodyear duratrac but the are between the 239 and 260 per tire range so im goin with the buckshot. Alot better than whats on it now, at least i wont be afraid to turn around in my yard.

I am just looking to get 40-45,000 out of the Hankooks. I dont really want a hard rubber, 90,000 mile tire. I want something that will last a couple winters, and grip in the snow and the rain. Should be getting these in a week or two, and will post pics!

    • Congratulations Isttype, on your gmc. Really like my 2024 2500hd sle doublecab now with 85,500 miles.  I checked the oil today at 4800 miles since last oil change and barely reading on the stick.  I don't care if GM says it's Acceptable adding a quart every 2000 miles because that is 100% BS, It is not a 1966 Harley Shovelhead! Sounds like it's setting up a future failure like I had with my 1500 6.2l. Other than oil consumption problems, I really like the 6.6l gas and 10 speed is really nice.  Towed a light 4000 pound trailer last week and averaged 14 mpg.  I was pretty impressive that a 7300 pound gas truck did 14mpg towing, Later-
    • Long Term Cold Cycle Limited Testing   Back to the 1990's and XOM's million mile test. Since then there have been others and there will be more. Schaeffer's, AMSOIL to name two. Of these Schaeffer's is the stand alone which I will explain in a bit later.    http://papers.sae.org/600190/:   http://papers.sae.org/850215/:   Up to 75% of  engine wear occurs on cold starts. These two links (above) provide the technical reasons for engine wear. In a nut shell, and by a large margin, cylinder wear is what takes out most motors and even with a pre-oiling system that part of the engine is dry enough on cold starts and cold warm up to pierce Stribeck.   So when you put a motor, or a car, on a dyno for a million miles stopping only for oil changes, (yes fuel is uninterrupted) or break down maintenance, you are depriving the test of the most important part of it's wear cycle. Yes a million is then a pretty easy walk even for a mineral oil under those conditions.    How about cleanliness during the long test cycles? Same thing. Varnishes that stick rings and insulate parts are laid down by repetitive 'heat cycles'. It's the cool down the precipitates the varnishes. These long runs also hinder acidic attack caused by cold start richness and less than optimal cold start ring sealing. They hinder water formation and enhance breathing of the crankcase; the petri dish of acid formation, the first step in sludge formation, amalgamation and precipitation. These motors are also monitored and controlled for water and oil temperatures to within the "normal operating range".      https://www.swri.org/sites/default/files/sequence-iiih-test.pdf Note the test sequence in some boutique oils literature for testing, API IIIH, is not the standard used for the ILSAC G7 testing. Does that mean it is irrelevant? No, not as used. As used as a 'visual guide' it makes it's point. The G7 weighted piston deposit minimum is lower.      Back to Schaeffer's. That was a cyclical test of an engine in fleet service and not a dyno mule and if you saw the video it was not mirror clean but wear was low.    There are oils like BioSyn and other 'Renewable" source oils that taught cleanliness and have proven themselves in fleet testing. Havoline an other example.    The newest ILSAC G-7 test prioritize cleanliness, LSPI mitigation and fuel economy OVER WEAR. In comparison Porsche C30 Specification Verses ILSAC G-7 Specification below:      Some will balk that this graph isn't apples to apples and I will challenge that in that this graph represent the SPECIFICATION and not the any One Oil Performance.   It is absolutely possible to minimize wear, maximize cleanliness and mitigate LSPI etc., It just isn't cheap and currently I see none that are not walking toward profit over performance.     
    • I don't think you will need a split, separate product, etc., the OBD port should be able to deliver everything you need. Since your device would be plugged into it all the time, it wouldn't miss anything.    Hardware in this case will be the easiest part of your project - ELM 327 devices will already deliver all the data you need. Reporting/software is where your advantage/marketability is.
    • I do too. I’ll never be stuck again 😂
    • It has happened to me a few times. I carry a jumpstart-tire inflator with me.
