Luse4, thanks for the info! Really appreciate it.

Denali, man I like the coopers! Only problem is that smallest wheel they have is 18". That's not a big problem, but I'm getting keys and spacers and going for a semi-lifted look, and the coopers in my opinion look good for a dropped hoe look. If I were to ever drop my hoe, i would probably get the coopers. Since I'm not, it's either the nittos and the AT2 and luse4's comments pushed me towards the AT2.

Thanks everyone for their 2 cents.

Let us know how it turns out!

They don't look as aggresive, especially the sidewall, I'll give you that. However, in the reviews I've read, off-road they perform as well or better than BFG's in almost all terrains, so that tread actually works.

I understand, though. If I was lifting (keeping mine stock and getting the biggest tires that'll fit) I'd probably go for a more aggressive looking tire, too, and like you would lean to the AT2 at this point.

I dont doubt it at all that the coopers are a good offroad tire from what i've read as well. I think you're right, it's the fact that they dont look aggressive, but the tread does look nice. But yeah, with a lifted look that im going for, i def want a more aggressive looking tire.

Polo...whatever happened with this?? Did you buy tires?

Curious now, because when I get my tax return I'm going to go ahead and get my summer tires while I have some extra cash.

I'm still leaning toward the Coopers, but could go either way at this point.

I just put Grabber AT2 on my truck 3 weeks ago. They are just my winter set. I did travel about 1000 miles just after mounting them and i went through a lot of snow and they did me pretty good. I dont have any pics of them on my truck but i will try and remember to get some tomorrow.

This is the only pic I have of them.

What up Denali? You dont even want to know. I have been tormenting myself, going back and forth between nittos and grabbers. PUNKYOU, damn you for posting that!:emotions122: I would have been fine not seeing another member with grabbers, but that just made me want to get some now. But then i saw some pro comps and now im back to square one. I've been super busy/lazy, but I did get some moola for xmas, and I will be using that to get some tires and wheels. Will keep you posted but Coopers are out for me. Wanna get some more aggressive looking tread and I especially like the grabber AT2 blackwall, just super expensive. Soon my friend, soon

How much is super expensive? I thought $530 installed and out the door was very reasonable for mine. Not sure what size you are looking for, but mine are 265/70/16's. In my size, they were about the cheapest AT I could find.
