Wow. Looks fantastic and I'm sure performs great too! Is that stock height or no?

I up sized to the 255/60, fills the wheel well a little more and the tread depth is 2/32 deeper if I'm not mistaken. Love the performance for an all-terrain, great in the snow and sand. I read a lot of reviews prior to buying and many complained of treadware issues, with regards to this, keep your tire pressures as labeled on the door, do 7-10K rotations and I believe these are 50K mile tires. Mine have 12K on them and look barely used despite many offroad sessions. Bought 5 of them at DiscountTireDirect.com, free shipping, $181 each, had them mounted locally.

I've had those same Terra Grapplers in the same 255 55 18 size for about 50,000 miles now and just eyeballing the tread I'd say I have at least another 15,000-20,000 before I need to get replacements...I'm going to get rid of them though before this winter just to be on the safe side...WI's not known for its mild winters...tbh I've only rotated them once and they've given me no problems treadwear-wise.

They've gotten me through more than a few major blizzards up here in WI and they've been great in the rain too.

If they treat you half as well as they did me you'll be happy with them.

I hate to rain on the parade but my last set of tires on the disco were terragrapplers and although they are great tires for the road and hardpack trails, they are nearly useless in the mud IMO.

P.S. The tires look filthy!
Because the fronts are $250 shipped and I just can't afford it yet. But they are awesome and I'm really happy with the rears, very smooth.

could you post a picture of your tires on your truck? I have a stock suspension 03 and i'm trying to decide between these sizes in this particular tire.

Glad I found this post on thed Nitto's. I'm getting mine next week. just in time for winter weather! Is it bad that I get more excited about new shoes for my truck than myself?

I have used these Nitto's and have been very happy with them. Yes they are not a mud terrain but they will work for 90% of what you will use it for and od it great. I looks great though too.
