Okay guys, so I had initially had my heart set on some Federal Couragia MT's, the problem is that they're on back order for 8 weeks and I can't wait that long for new tires. I've always loved the look of the trail grapplers but I've heard good and bad things. A friend of mine had them on his 2003 quad cab Silverado and said that they were to soft and wore to quickly. Another friend had a set on a ford expedition and said they pull pretty hard to the left and right. So my question is if any of you guys are running them, do you experience the same things or have they been good for you on your Tahoe or Yukon? I appreciate guys, needing tires ASAP.

My brother has the Cooper STT's on his 05 F150 and he loves them, they seem to ride really smooth and quiet as well. I've been looking at them more and more lately. But at the moment I can get the trail grapplers for slightly cheaper. My brother hasn't had his long though, do they wear well?

Goodyear Duratracs. Best tires I have ever had on a 4wd vehicle. Quiet and they wore awesome, not too soft like true mud terrain tires.

My buddy had a set of the duratracs on his 98 Tahoe and those things rode like poo haha. Of course it may not have been just the tires.

Cooper AT3's. 48K hard miles held up great. Looked good and handled on road and trails really well. Sand was another story tho. I had bad luck in sand with them.

I had the trail grapplers in a ~34" on my F250 and they wore good, but they pulled to both sides, road walking I guess, and when new they seemed real slow to react to steering movements. That was on a stock suspension too. I really liked them and wouldn't hesitate to buy them again if the price and size was right.

I now have the duratracs on my dodge 2500 with. 6" lift, also ~34" and they ride awesome. They are wearing good and are relatively quiet. I had 35" BFG mud terrains prior to these and I hated them. Replaced them before they needed to be because they wore terribly, were loud and, and, and,......you get the picture.
