I am looking for a set of 35"-37" NITTO MUD GRAPPLER on black rims any one no where a good cheap place to get quality stuff is? I don't want cheap wheels that the paint and clear will flake off in a year like my mustang did.

We offer a full line of tires and rims. I would suggest that you stay away from the Nitto Mud Grapplers as they do not balance very well, wear bad and are very loud. PM me if you have any questions.
:whs: They look mean but if you do alot of street driving I would stay away from grapplers

Don't know if you're set on NITTO, but if Hankook makes a good MT that handles well on the street and from all the reviews looks to last a long time.

I went with the 35's but they have 37s on 17's, 18's, and 20's.
Even though they're aggressive, I would say that they're in between a an AT and MT. That's just my opinion though.

Mine still look new but I haven't put a ton of miles on them. I know they balanced well and ride well on long trips. You can get them cheap from Discount Tire.

:rockwoot:I'd go with the trail grappler before the mud grappler. Trail Grappler is more or less the same thing as a Toyo M/T except a few bucks less. Same manufacturer. I have Toyos and buddy with a 03 6.0 has Nittos, and we are wearing about the same.. The backs a lot faster than the fronts :rockwoot:

I am going to be driving from Sanford FL to Ruddy's in North Carolina to Decatur IL. Is there anywhere along there that has stuff in stock a where house or something?

I cant keep repeating this! MT Baja Claw....I dont understand why everybody runs Mud Grapplers or a/t's. The Mud Grapplers suck except if you drive offroad as in an offroad work truck. Ive tried everything in the last fifteen years. Boggers are great in soupy mud, The Denman mud tires are good on older trucks, Im not sure what regular SS's are good for?,Ive never had any luck with BFG's, Thornbirds blow ass too. The michelin ltx a/t's on my ranger had 70k on them and were still good. My cooper discoverer STT's were great tires, all the way around. These Baja Claws are even better. Ive got two sources that ran them on trucks and 60k seems to be the wear life.

37x13.5x16 1598.00 mounted. Im not sure if thats good or expensive but it was a local tire shop thats been around for fifty years so Id rather pay a bit more and know they'll back what they sold.

I urge ya ta check out the MT Baja Claw(radial). When I go to a 4" and 35's Im gonna run the same tires in that size.

There aren't many options for 17+ rims in the radial version. I'm looking at the MT site and there are only 33's and 35's in a 17in rim. It appears that most people want to upgrade to an 18 or 20 and unless I'm looking in the wrong spot, I don't see anything listed. On top of that, a lot of people like to get a tire that is rated for over 3000 lbs. The 35's are right at 3k, but the 33's are at 2600. The lack of options in sizes that will work on 08+ trucks might be the reason nobody pays attention to the radial claws. If a 16" rim fit on our rigs there might be some more interest.

guess i should say i am going to go with new rims too. I am looking at 20" rims and 35" tires. I am having a real hard time deciding hat kid of rim to go with too black or chrome? I like the black rims but i dont think they will look right on the blue and tan truck?
 
#23 ·
IMO i would go with chrome for your truck. not to many trucks pull of black. and i dont think urs would look that good unless you get rid of that beige. i had bfg km1s and they were by far the best mud tires ive had. i would stay away from toyo. i had 35-1350 ATs and they sucked and my MTs are good diggers but dont where that good. i like the mickeys too but have no personal experience.

Found a set of used ones from a member hear i am thinking about chrome 20'' helo 837's and procomp 35/13.50/20 with 75% or so treadlife.

I am going to buy this set off a guy hear now i am just trying to get everything i need for the tpms so i dont have any lights on and have everything when it comes time to install them.

I think the only way is to swap the sensors to the new wheels and keep the new tires at the factory pressure.

I think it's somewhere north of 60 psi! I have yet to swap my sensors over to the new wheels but I drove around with them at 65 psi for a couple weeks and there is no way I'll be doing that again. I'll just deal with the little stupid light on the dash. I'm used to it now.

i have my sensors in my rims. The ride is definetly to rough. when i get new tires im gonna take all the sensors out and put them in the spare and leave it at factory pressure. One guy on here did that and it seems to work but after a while of driving the light comes on as a fault because the sensors arent moving so i got a trick up my sleeve for that.

From the sounds of this you can set them to any psi???



NOTE: If the vehicle has been stationary for more than 30 minutes, the sensors will go into a "sleep mode" to conserve battery power. It will be necessary to wake them up so they will transmit the latest tire pressure information to the Smart Junction Box (SJB). For additional information, refer to Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Sensor Activation. See: Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Sensor Activation

NOTE: The tire pressure sensor training procedure must be done on a single vehicle, in an area without radio frequency noise and at least 1 m (3 ft) away from other vehicles equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).

Radio frequency noise is generated by electrical motors and appliance operation, cellular telephones, remote transmitters, power inverters and portable entertainment equipment.

NOTE: If a sensor does not respond to the Tire Pressure Monitor Activation Tool, attempt to activate the same sensor with the Tire Pressure Monitor Activation Tool. If the sensor still does not respond, move the vehicle to rotate the wheels at least one-fourth of a turn and attempt to activate the same sensor again.

NOTE: The SJB has a 2-minute time limit between sensor responses. If the SJB does not recognize any 1 of the 4 tire pressure sensors during this time limit, the horn will sound twice and the message center (if equipped) will display TIRE NOT TRAINED REPEAT and the entire procedure must be repeated.

NOTE: For vehicles with different front and rear tire pressures (such as the E-Series and certain F-Series), the tire pressure sensors must be trained following a tire rotation. Failure to train the sensors will cause the indicator to illuminate. For vehicles with the same tire pressure for front and rear tires, tire rotation will not affect the system.

1. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position, then press and release the brake pedal.
2. Cycle the ignition switch from the OFF position to the RUN position 3 times, ending in the RUN position.
3. Press and release the brake pedal.
4. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
5. Turn the ignition switch from the OFF position to the RUN position 3 times, ending in the RUN position.

o The horn will sound once and the indicator will flash if the training mode has been entered successfully. If equipped, the message center will display TRAIN LF TIRE.

1. NOTE: It may take up to 6 seconds to activate a tire pressure sensor. During this time, the Tire Pressure Monitor Activation Tool must remain in place 180 degrees from the valve stem. Place the Tire Pressure Monitor Activation Tool on the LF tire sidewall opposite (180 degrees) from the valve stem. Press and release the test button on the Tire Pressure Monitor Activation Tool. The horn will sound briefly to indicate that the tire pressure sensor has been recognized by the

1. Within 2 minutes of the horn sounding, place the Tire Pressure Monitor Activation Tool on the RF tire sidewall opposite (180 degrees) from the valve stem and press and release the test button to train the RF tire pressure sensor.

1. NOTE: Do not wait more than 2 minutes between training each sensor or the SJB will time out and the entire procedure must be repeated. Repeat Step 7 for the RR and LR tires. The procedure is completed after the last tire has been trained. When the training procedure is complete, the message center (if equipped) will display TIRE TRAINING COMPLETE. For vehicles not equipped with a message center, successful completion of the training procedure will be verified by turning the ignition switch to the OFF position without the horn sounding. If the horn sounds twice when the switch is turned to the OFF position, the training procedure was not successful.

the easiest way around it if you dont want to have the tires un-mounted, and then re-mounted, is just to put the sensors inside a PVC tube, and pressurize the tube to the computer thinks they are inside the wheels correctly. then just hide the tube somewhere and your all set.

Lol ya didn't think about the moving part. I am beginning to think if u buy that $20 ford tool you can set them at the psi u want.
