New tires: Wildpeaks or Grabber ATX

[PNWMike]

Mine are Made in USA - no balancing problems or vibrations.

Ditto.

I put a p265/70/75 of the Grabber ATX about 3K ago. We drove down to Flordia from MD last week. Averaged 18.8 mpg cruising 70-75mph the whole way. No problems with the tires. Balanced well, tracked straight, weren't noticeably loud. On the way up we hit some intense rainstorms never felt uneasy in the wet.

I had run the same size Falkens on my Xterra and was equally impressed. I was going to go with Falkens again but General was doing a $100 rebate last month. Can't say much more about the Grabbers since they are still really new.

What PSI did you run on the Grabbers?

 

[El Gavilan]

I think 36psi. I got them put on two days before we took off to visit my in-laws so whatever the shop installed them with.

I have had both and I think the wildpeaks are the best tires ive ever ran in wet conditions but I think the Grabber looks better.

Looking to get some new shoes for my 2020 Venture and can’t decide between these 2. I have a 2020 Venture with the TRD rims and was curious what you all would get and if there’s any pros/cons to either?

Going stock size and the truck is used mostly on the road with occasional off-road (just got back from 4x4 beach in NC a couple days ago) by the way.

I have a Venture as well, and went the Grabber ATXs in stock size. They're my first A/T, so I don't have anything to compare them to, but I have absolutely zero complaints. I think they look better than most other A/Ts personally, but that's subjective. Haven't had the chance to try them out in snow, but traction on everything else has been excellent. Also, they're only 3lbs heavier than the stock tire which is a huge plus if you're concerned about adding more rotating mass. Plus, they're about as quiet as the stock Duelers on the highway, and no issues with balancing.

The only "con" is that you will have to do the fender mod and a little bit of trimming to keep them from rubbing up front, when in reverse. It's the offset of the TRD wheels that cause this issue, so you can probably avoid the trimming by switching wheels. But trimming is quick and easy(and free), and also not noticeable by anyone unless you're specifically looking inside the wheel well towards the front.
