It all depends what you want out of them.

The Toyo Mud Terrains are about the best all around tire you can find in my opinion. The only problem is that they're pretty much the most expensive.

The mud grapplers look great in my opinion but don't expect to get much mileage out of them at all. They wear terribly

The Nitto Terra Grapplers are about the best all terrain you can buy in my opinion. They wear great, do OK offroad, and aren't too expensive.

I'm also a big fan of the BFG ATs and Mud terrains. Others will disagree but I've seen excellent results with the mud terrains on several vehicles and it's hard to beat the mileage of the BFG All terrains.

Honestly, I think the dune grapplers look terrible. Maybe it's a Cali thing but the tread pattern looks silly to me.

It all comes down to what your budget is, the mileage you expect out of them, if your truck is a street queen, or if you actually mud much.

i agree w/ the bfg comment. my buddy has the new km2's on his jeep and he put alot of miles on them and he goes mudding alot too and they almost look like new. yeah i am lokkin for a happy medium between offroad and mileage. i take her offroad sometimes but i do do a decent amount of driving, towing, hauling, etc...
