Just had the Nitto Trail Grappler MTs (285/65/18) installed. Even with the level kit, there was some trimming involved.

The only issue that I see with the TrailGrappler is the lack of siping which may not make it idea for winter conditions.

Intruck how did you resize the pics? When I made the link they were made smaller for some reason. Thanks for helping out.
As far as winter conditions, not sure. Only seen one review for winter use and it did well compared to traditional MTs. Yeah, there isn't as much siping as BFG ATs, but the siping on these run deep and go across the entire lug. Supposidly that is key to help disperse water pressure under the lug. Some siping designs do not go to an edge and do not effectively reduce these pressures. I guess I will provide another update in the snow.

Looks good! Those actually look a little beefier than I was thinking the would look. Can we get a larger of the size view? Was there alot of trimming or just minimal. I am considering going from dropped to lifted. I was thinking about leveling it out with some 33's til I can save up for a real lift.

Zed,
anyway you can show some pics of the trimming that you had to do?
I didnt think you would have to trim with this size of tires....makes me rethink the 295/65/18 Goodyear Duratracs that I was looking at!!!!!

Also, how is the road noise on the highway with those?
