I've got the Terra Grapplers in 255/60-18's and I really like them. About 30" in height.

Nitto tread depth is pretty shallow. Toyo's are great, just expensive. What are you guys paying for those?

Looked up both tread depths and it looks like they are the same at 12.7 which is right at 1/2 inch. Nittos are $204 a piece at discount tire direct, free shipping. Price has gone up a bit, I paid $182 each 3 years ago. General grabber at2 are supposed to be good too but those are around $240 each I think.

Might try looking at some 265/60r18's. Could open up some more options.

I'm a fan of Falken Wildpeak A/T they aren't too expensive either. I also like the BFG Rugged Terrains I'm runnin right now in the 265. Even have the matching spare on the rear door without flipping the mount.

I'm not a big fan of the dynapros though. They wear way too fast on pavement and even faster on gravel. Most the farmers around here have sworn them off due to short life. My dad just swapped his on his silverado after only 2 yrs. Maybe they wear different at different sizes. Who knows..

No rubbing issues with the 265s?

In another thread about what stock can do Pinkytoe69 said "I have that size Cooper discoverer ht plus." And that they rub on something.

Wreckdiver and I both ran 265/65r18 BFG Rugged Terrains pre-lift and had no rubbing. I've had mine fully turned going through some rough stuff and never rubbed, but it would probably depend a lot on how worn and saggy your stock springs are too.

I use 2 sets, General Grabber AT2's and Enduro Runway AT's on my Mitzi Pajero for off roading. Both quite sticky with deep treads. They are both sized in imperial and metric. The wear rate isn't particularly good on either make, unfortunately.
