Well I'm leveled with bilsteins and looking for opinions. Looking at 285/55r22 nitto terra graps and 325/50r22 Amp mt. Price is comparable. What's ur thoughts? I don't mind to adjust bilsteins to fit what I need. Going on a set of 22x10 -12 offset. Pics of options to follow!

Never buy tires simply for their looks, tires are meant to keep you on the road. Find an acceptable tire that looks good.

What are you going to use your truck for? AT's are going to ride better on the street but MT's are better for off-roading.

I have heard both are quality tires, just trying to get opinions.

I do most driving in town, but I have a cabin at the river which is basically logging trails to get to. I had MT tires before and they prove their usefulness during those times.


I figure the nittos would be better to fuel economy, but wonder how they compare on rough terrain like the mt tires. I def like the amps more on looks, just on the fence lol. Choices are very limited for large tires with 22s. These are the best ones I've found for the price.

The Toyo open country AT2 extreme should be around the same price as the Nitto terra grappler but the new Extreme tread is more aggressive than the terra grapplers. I know Toyo also makes a MT for 22's in the 35x12.5r 22 which are the same size give or take a little. Not sure how much my friend paid for his since he got it as a package. The Nitto Trailgrappler MT's are also usually only $20 a tire more that the terra grapplers if you wanted a MT tire. The AT tread usually is better on mileage but I haven't had a set to try out off-road yet.

Got em installed. Had to max out the bilsteins to avoid rubbing. So far the tires ride well and actually quiet compared to my old Nitto Trail Grapplers.
