    I need advice from you guys though.

    I am prepared to buy a set of Mickey Thompson MTZ 315 75 16s from 4wheel parts installed for $1356.00

    I said prepared, but having to find an extra $200 in the couch cushions somewhere :hmm:

    or...

    I could get a set of the 315 75 16 Maxxis Bighorn tires installed at another local shop for $930 :shocked:


    Tell me, what would you do?

    I have heard good reviews on the bighorn, but are they as agressive looking as the MTZ tires?

    Looks means alot to me. I want the most aggresive radial for the money.
    I contacted nitto about the grapplers and they are on nationwide backorder indefinitely!!!! so the mud grappler in a 315 75 16 is out.

    Thoughts?
    :hmm:

    my advice for what its worth to u is to get what u really want while your buyin. you dont wanna be looking at your rig thinkin i wish id held out for the tires i really wanted. after you blow your $ and start rollin on them theres no turning back!!!!
