Grappler's or M16's?

mjd91 · 07-02-2009, 07:39 PM

I'm trying to decide between Nitto Mud Grappler's or Interco SS M16's. Any info about either would be great. I will be getting 35/12.50/20's.
Here's a link to the M16's- Interco SS-M16 Swamper Mud Tire Reviews
And here's a link to the Grappler's- Nitto Mud Grappler Reviews
I do about 90% road driving but I want an agressive look for my new lift and wheels.
Let me here the good and the bad!

Thanks

I have never owned either, but I have heard that both ride very rough on the road and are very loud. I run pro comp extreme muds and they are agressive and good on the street. JMO.

I've got the graps in 35. only an 18inch rim but I love them. had the same tire on the old gasser and put them on the diesel now. I haven't really had any problems with rough riding on the road or anything. You can feel the tread when going slow (crawling) but its minor. on the highway they are smooth. a little loud but honestly if you're looking for an aggressive look you can't be concerned with a little humming! great traction on road and in wet. Pulled a couple thousand pount trailor up hill through the mud without a problem so I'd have to say off road traction is GREAT!

hope this helps

Mud grapplers will be better in the mud,...but significantly louder than the SS M-16.

So if you aren't going offroad every weekend, and you don't want to sound like a low flying prop plane driving down the road..

....I suggest the SS M16's

It might not be much help.. but if you want a good off road tire.. and good street tire..

Cooper Discoverer STT. Aggressive looking tire (great in my opinion). And performs great both off road and on road.

37"

I used to have coopers until the tread flew off at 60mph. They weren't even bald.

I'm thinking about the M16's because you don't see them as often and they're still pretty badass looking.

Yeah I have heard some bad things about the STs, but not much about the STTs.

The STTs are amazing in my opinion, really dig into the dirt.. and get some great traction.. but also don't wear as much on the road as the grapplers.

They gave the Grapplers 2 street stars and the M16's 3 1/2. On the offroad website I gave the links too.
