Time for new tires, which ones tho?
I have Mickey Thompson MTZ's 315/70/R17 on my truck right now and they are getting low. Time for some new mud tires but which ones should I get or should I get a new set of the MTZ's? I do drive around a lot so I want a tire that will pull well in mud but also last a while. Tell me what you think.
Nitto Mud Grapplers
Mickey Thompson Baja MTZ
Mickey Thompson Baja Claw Radial
BFG KM
BFG KM2
Toyo Open Country M/T

Advocate of getting the ban button used on him...
I vote Nitto Mud Grapplers.
I just put on some Dura Grapplers because I don't have a need for a mud tire but I do like the Nitto muds.

well i wasn't going to post this since your looking for 35's in the 17 rim size because they are load range D, but you have BFG's listed so here ya go. i really like the all terrain.

If you choose the Toyo MT here are some things to think about..
Toyo does not make this tire in the 315/70R17...dim. 34.4 dia. X 12.7 wide
The 2 closest sizes are:
285/75R17 34.1 Dia. X 11.6 wide
or the 35X12.50R17 34.8 dia. X 13.2 wide.
You will lose a little width with the 285's but height is very close.
The 35x12.50's will be just over a 1/2 inch taller and 1/2 inch wider overall.
Hope that helps..
