Maybe some tire experts can answer my question

[redrunner02]

I am thinking of getting the Nitto trail grapplers, I mostly use my runner for DD and will use it very little for offroading given my rough schedule..
Will driving on the highway and streets wear out the tread too fast if i had the TG? I hope to atleast get 30k-40k out of them but I don't know if this will be possible..I really like the look of them but will get something else is need be, thanks!

Take a look a Treadwright if you want to save some dough. Also, if you want a really active thread then ask for opinions on retreads and watch as people get fired up. Have fun with the new shoes regardless of what you get.

I know Ducmonsta got the Trail Grapplers; I got the Dura Grapplers. In fairness, his tires do look significantly more aggressive, but I think he'd agree they're a fair bit louder. Mine aren't too bad a mileage didn't take much of a hit.

Full disclosure: mine are pee-metric.

I have the TG's in the 285 flavor and they have about 3k on them and still look new. So far very impressed with this tire, did well in the snow a few days ago and is very good off road. On road they are very quiet for how aggressive they are. My buddy who owns a custom truck shop runs 37's on their shop truck and got around 40-45k out of them, 100% pavement, never sees dirt. I say go for it, I love mine and they perform and look awesome!

You guys are the best thanks I will definitely go for it now, now just have to figure out what size to get

 

[redrunner02]

30k-40k seems very easy to get for a DD with a radial mud terrain. If those are your goals I think your good to go. Tire pressure and rotations play a big part.

Thats what I was hoping to hear! thanks

Since these are very expensive tires I'm being very good and rotating them every 3k. Running 35 psi in all four which feels great on the road.

Expensive they are, but they soooo seem worth it

last set of tires I ever bought were $95 a tire. I thought that was expensive at the time lol.

I paid $1160 cash for 285's, lifetime rotation and balancing at my buddy's custom truck shop.

I have the Nitto Crossteks on my 4th gen. They look like an aggressive tire from the looks of the sidewall but are really just a mild all terrain. Great for daily driving

I never heard of those, they do look like a cross between off road and on
