I don't get them either. Everyone around here runs them on their trucks that only see pavement and they think the tires are hot ****. They're expensive and the tread doesn't last at all. One of our mechanics at work drives a jacked up Ram 1500 with 37s. He will ONLY run Nittos and he replaces them like twice a year because they go bald so fast.
My dad runs nothing but terra grapplers on his chevy. He gets about 50-60k out of them. Mud grapplers and dune grapplers are another story.

I run terra grapplers on my 05 f150. They are 34/11.75 and they wear just fine I have had them for 30k and hardly look work down. I use the truck as a dd and it sees dirt now and then they are good for towing being they are an E class tire

I somehow doubt that you've seen that tire be put through every extreme terrain. I was up at moonrocks NV and this guy was struggling on the sandy steep rocks. it's a pathetic rock tire if you asked me. and my pro comps don't stick as well as I'd like either. I loved my BFG's on the rocks tho

I know this is gonna start a fight, but BFG A/T. My buddy had them on his xj and on his f250. Worst tire in snow and mud I've ever seen. I hear they are great in the desert though. I've got old style mt/r's and I was going places in 2wd that he couldn't get through in 4wd.

Because they're AT's... Of course theyre not gonna go where most MT's will go. They're not designed for anything too crazy or slick

Used to have 33 to 35s' on my old K5 ran a mix of tires.
Toyos' wear out to quick and sand cut bad, and lost lugs.
Fun Countrys' sucked in the mud, and couldn't trail or rock worth c&%*.
Thornbirds clogged up, way to noisy, tore up the trails, and dug holes in the sand
Michelin, Goodyear, and BFG all bubbled on me, and had short life spans.
Best tire I ran across Remington Wide Brutes, fantastic cleanout tread wore evenly and drove on one set for three years with mud sand and trail use.

I had these in 235s before I lifted mine and put 31" BF A/Ts on and wow haha i remember going down just a slight mud road how much wheel spin and mud i would get because of the rt/s's they are pretty awful offroad. I love my bf a/ts though but am more of a weekend trail explorer then a warrior looking for real deep clay mud pits
