I think I've had either 5 or 6 sets and would have continued to get them but I wanted an all terrain tire since I started using my personal truck to drive all over kingdom come for work. I never had any kind of problem with the buckshots and neither did any of my friends that had them, we probably bought between 15 and 20 sets between 5 of us. As long as you rotate them at least every 6K miles they should be fine.

I got the nitto grapplers on a 20" rim. RIde is great water traction is great,but not real good for mud. (of course its a all terain and not a mud) but it doesnt clean very well when it is spinning. Got stuck several times at the levee this year. do have about 25k on em and still look good.

You don't buy a mud tire to look pretty & expect a good ride or even stay together at high speeds, have slung the lugs off a few buckshots. A true mud tire will never ride good, esp in cold weather. They will wear awful on the front no matter how much you rotate them. I've run 4wd farm trucks all my life. True mud tire are just for that, esp on a 3/4 & 1 ton. If it's for looks you're better off with a all terrain. True mud tire are the the nylon buckshots & coop's. I've got a set of mastercraft courisor c/t all terrain on my 3/4 ton with about 30k on them & have done really well.

I agree with that, I might buy 2 just for hunting season, I don't need them any other time.

my 2 cents.....All ran on Ford f150 4x4:

I ran the swamper thornbirds for a while.....junk!

I ran the BFG AT's.....put over 70k miles on them. Great all-round tires.

Switched to Firestone Destination AT's after because of better price. Also a great tire but never fully tested it.

New truck has the Perrili Scorpions ATR's.....I'm gonna switch back to BFG's after I run these stock tires down.


Out of your 2, I'd go with Mickey T's over the other.

I've got the hookup on wheels & tires. You can go to http://www.wheelpros.com/ to look @ specific wheels/tires. They have a bunch of wheels & they sell 4 brands of tires. Falken, Nitto, Pirelli & Sumitomo. PM me for a price. I'll save you a bunch of money.
