Narrowed it down to 3 tires need help

droppemlow77 · Jan 23, 2012

#1 - LT285/75R16 GRABBER AT2 ($167)
#2 - 285/75R16 Terra Grappler ($202)
#3 - 285/75-16 KELLY SAFARI TSR BSL ($172)

Just wondering if someone has had/has these and has some input that may help me lean towards one. I am putting them on a 2008 Ram 1500 Single Cab on 16" Black Steel rims.
And has any pics of them on their truck if possible.

I run Kelly Safari Trex, and so does my dad We both really like em, so I would guess the quality is good on those TSRs.
Here is his 16s

How did you get 16" rims on all four corners? You may not get many responses per your rim size on a 3G.

Did you shave down the calipers? 17" is the smaller you can go without some work.

I have the terra grapplers and they have been an awesome tire. I am running 20's, but have been very happy with how they handle and wear.

All three seem pretty descent, basically preference, I've ran nitto brand tires and really liked them before. Good luck on whatever you choose.

I run the Terra Grapplers on my lifted Jeep Grand Cherokee and they do quite well. Very quiet on the road and may be the best wet pavement tire I've ever run. Solid trail tire and they do great on the south Georgia slick red clay mud roads after it rains. About the only place they are lacking is in deep mud, they don't clean themselves well and cake up pretty quick, but then again, they aren't Mud Tires either though.

BTW you should be able to do better on the price, I bought 265/70/17s for $127 a tire at a local tire store. I wouldn't thing just going up two sizes would increase the price $75 a piece...
