    I had a set of Mickey Thompsons.... for 15-20,000 miles... and there was NO tread left. Rubber is just too soft for much on road driving. I am now on my second set of TrXus M/T, 60,000 miles and still had some tread on my last set. My advicce is to stay away from Mickey Thompsons.

    I'm a BIG FAN of the Nitto mud Grapplers too.

    Not as loud as most aggressive off road tires...more a "HUMMMM"...
    ...than the "WOMP WOMP WOMP" from others.

    And yes indeeeediee...they last very well.

    Limited sizes may be the issue...
    ...they messed me up by stopping the 33x12:50x16...and if YOU want 16's then Nitto Mud Grapplers are not available in that size.
    However IIRC...they do have 33x12:50 x 17 or 18

    So instead I found a used set of Nitto 35x16's...and love 'em.

    I will be buying new Nitto 35's after Moab this year....
    ....they rock in the "looks" and "works" departments

    How used were they and how well did 35's fit? How much did you have to modify in the fenders and do you think any more will need to be modified when you get a new set on? The new set will be undoubtedly larger, right?
