Nitto Mud Grappler vs MT Baja Claw

tundaplaya · 07-25-2009, 09:08 PM

Hey guys Im just looking for your guys' opinions on these two tires. I searched and didnt find any threads on it.

Im looking for something thats going to perform very well off road, and a decent tread life. The reviews on both these tires seem to be very controversal. Both have love/hate reviews. One reviewer will say they are the best, the other trash. I will be running 40s on 20s. These will get alot of off road use, mostly in mud but some rocks too. Anyways just looking for any experience and advice you guys have. Thanks!

These are the main tires im looking at but if you guys know of something that you think will suit me better let me know! Price isnt too much of an issue, would just like to stay under 600 per tire.

you can get procomps at good price and they work good.

i had bajaclaws on my truck before (40's) they were way quiet compared to the nitto's

I have read the pro comps or more of a rock crawler tire and dont do so well off road is that true? Neel would you recoomend those over your claws and nittos?

Edit- And thanks for the link Tank!

I had the xtreme terrains on my 2wd 06 1500 chevy 35x12.50x18 aired down at the dunes too about 15lbs I could climb pretty far up the big hills aqnd haul my 6,000lb trailer anywhere without problems. I traded the truck in with 32k miles on the tires with at least another 10k miles left, that's after power brake burnouts in secornd gear a couple times... Road noise I don't know 1,200 watt stereo kept my attention!

One of my buddies hadthe NITTOs on his 06 crew Cab Pchoke and they lasted 30K
Im in the same boat as you having trouble deciding between MTs or Mud G. but im looking in the 35inch range.

as far as procomps they wear out way to fast in a heavy truck

I was a little worried about them running out too fast under all the weight. Tank how many miles do you get out of your Iroks?

25...maybe 30k tops,..but I rarely rotate them..

IROK's are designed for traction,..not mileage...to me...traction is more important...
