I've been putting off getting tires for the truck for a while, but JayT's thread inspired me to jump on the bandwagon.
She's a 3/4 ton dodge so, I have been looking for some 10 ply tires and finally found a set that I like the looks of, but had never seen in person. I finally pulled the trigger and have been pretty happy so far. They are the new Nitto Trail Grappler (35x12.50x17-E)
Before:

After:

A little rougher than I expected, but still pretty darn quite on the highway and light years better than what I had on it.

Naw it had the factory 265/70/17 tires. So, yeah quite the jump really. Now, I need to take the time to get the computer flashed to recalibrate the speedo. Right now I just try to remember to run at least 5 mph slower :biggthumpup:

I like it!! A rig always looks better with more rubber in the wheel well.

Now that you've had the tires for a few months, how do you like them? I have a Ram 2500 also. I put Mud Grapplers on it. Too loud, and wear way too fast! Then talked my buddy into the trail grapplers on his. Now I can't wait to wear mine out so I can by a set like yours.
