Default Anyone have Nitto Grappler pics?

I would like to see what the 265-285's look like on these trucks if anyone has any pics of them

I want BFG AT's but they must be made of gold. The nittos are like 104-116 for the 265 and 285's on 16inch rims. BFG's are friggin 170 almost Only reason i like BFG's is because I had them on all my trucks in 15inch sizes which were pretty reasonable on price.

If the nittos look good, im probably gonna go with those

i see they make a 265/70/16 which i guess is wider than the 75 series?

GF7PE, You state that the Nitto's wear faster?? What's the treadwear on the BFG's? I checked Nittos site because i'm upgrading to the terra grapplers also, and found that their ratings are 500 A,B. I could not find anything on the BFG's. I'm not being an a$$, just curious before I spend the cash.

The nittos are a very soft rubber. Friend of mine has them on his Dodge, has about 15000 on them now. He is a very conservative driver. Expecting about 15000 or so out of them. I had a set of BFGs before these. I got about 45,000 out of them. Will say the Nittos ride much smoother and quieter though.

Whoever says they don't last long must be rough as hell on tires. I just got rid of my truck on Saturday and the Terra Grapplers had over 15K on them and still had 13/32 tread on them. They would have easily lasted another 15K plus!
