I have 37" Nitto's and I would not install them on my kids wagon !!!! They are so noisy you can not hardly talk in the cab. The vibration comes through the accelerator pedal and every thing else. I would never buy nitto's again. Period. I have had 44" Monster Mudders that were not this noisy !!!! Dave

I agree selection is limited when looking for a 37. If you decide to go with A/T's, I am running 355/60/20 (37/14/20) Nitto Terra Grappler on my Super Duty. Incredibly quiet, especially when compared the the Parnelli Jones Dirt Grip I used to run. I couldn't tell you how they wear though, only 2k on them. BFG is also making an A/T 37/12.5/20.

I ordered the BFG's I really like the look of a mud tire, but BFG does not make it in a 20 so I ordered the all terrain. I have had really good luck with BFG's in the past.

I run the same tire on a DMAX. Have had great luck with it. Quiet and seems to be weariing relatively well.

Wardey, not disputing what your experience has been. Maybe I have just been lucky.

I have Nitto Terra Grappler on my Excursion and they wore out fast. I liked the looks and they were quiet enough for me. I will look around before getting new tires.

Wardey,
Are you running Terra Grapplers or the Mud Grappler? You've got me worried.

Not to total capacity because in makes for a harsh ride when lightly loaded. I'll put them back on next winter for snow. :cool:

Terra's. I'm not kidding, they vibrate the accelerator pedal and I have to crank the 1200 watt stereo to get away from the noise. I talked to the dealer and he said, "Yeah, they get louder the older they get !!!".... :mad: Dave
