Thanks a lot!!! That's my next tire when the oems wear out. How's the noise level compared to stock? I'm going with all black procomp wheels that are 9" wide and have less backspacing so I expect them to stick out a little more than yours. Good lookin truck Man.

They wear down too fast and have alot of sidewall flex. I had them for 10k miles and regret it the fullest. I bought the 305/65/17 BF goodrich and man they are a great tire seriously. I have had them on for 10-15k miles and they are 3/4 tread or better and have no sidewall flex and are an E rated tire at that. Trust me when you get new tires don't get D rated tires they suck. Most of the guys on here say they love em because they are just coming from 1/2 ton trucks and don't know a difference. With 4 diesels now I am not bsing you. Take the plunge and spend a little extra. Aaron

I've got about 8k on my Terra Grapplers and they still look brand new, no issues at all with them wearing fast or in a weird way. They see basically 95% highway miles as well...
You must rotate every 5k to maximize your tire's life....especially on a tire like this! I got almost 30k out of a set of tires very similiar to the Terra Grapplers but I rotated every 5k and didnt tow just a whole lot though.

I now have over 35k miles on my 295's and they are still above half tread. And about 12000 of those miles were pulling 32' RV. I keep 64 lbs all the way around and bump up the rear to 70 when pulling. I don't understand the guys that have had bad luck with the Terra Grapplers cause everyone I know loves them and will never go back to BFG's.

I wanted to buy the Nitto's or the Toyo 295/70-17, but they are not available in Canada
so I found some Procomps on sale cheap, happy so far...
