    Name those tires.....

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...sPageName=WDVW

    Anybody know these tires?? I'm ready for some new shoes and i love this look... the auction is conflicting - one place he says hes running 18's then on the other he says 16's. I know they are 18's but would love to know the brand and exact size...
    Any help much appreciated !! Thanks.

    Yep, says right on the tire "Terra Grappler"...


    And even the size, 285/60R 18...


    Definitely some big meat!

    Not a bad price

    I got mine a year ago - Love 'em! They ran me $170 a piece, so you seem to be looking at some fair deals.

    You will need to trim the cladding for the 285/60/18s - I and several others had pics in our galleries showing where to trim and how much. You can't see the mod from outside (its in the inside front wheel well, cladding only), it was a piece of cake to do, and you'd never know it had been done if you didn't know to look for it.

    I highly recommend the 'grapplers. You won't be sorry.

    May want to check:

    http://www.tirerack.com

    I was able to find my Pirellis there and then get NTB to pricematch. You may be able to do the same.

    Wouldnt the 285's actually be a bit too wide for a stock 7" rim? Shouldnt we be worried about poppin a bead or something? And do you guys who are running the 285 grapplers do all condition driving with them or are you mostly off roaders?

    I've had mine on for a while now with no problems. I drive mostly on road, and ocassionally more aggressive than I should. They hold the road quite well for such a big tire.

    Offroad they did good for me except deep mud, but they weren't made for that so I am very happy. You might want to try a search on your previous question, I was thinking there was some discussion on this in another thread.
