I'm not a fan of the general grabber at/x. They came with my tremor and would fling rocks for 30 min on highways or paved roads after going down a dirt road.
I have a 3 mile stretch of county rock road from my cabin to the blacktop. You ain't kidding about flinging rocks. Sounds like a popcorn maker. The grabbers seem to be wearing really well, ride is fine. Only complaint is the rocks. Glad to hear the wild peaks aren't as bad.

I think they look pretty good and the 60 mile ride home was pretty smooth. ?

Looking pretty cool Scott - I noticed I had to be a little heavier on the pedal when I went with bigger, heavier tires and that my truck slowed down a little quicker when coasting. My initial thought was, oh gawd, what have I done? But when I got out of my Ranger and did the “look back”, it just didn’t matter how much more I’d be spending on gas.

They look super sharp on your truck!.

I agree and with the Livernoise tune it's not really that noticeable.

Im on stock suspension & wheels, do those fit w/o rubbing at all? Thinking of going to the 265/70-17 vs my stock 265/65-17
No rubbing but only about 1/4 inch of space. I may add a 1/4-in spacer

A bit late to the party, but here is my input..... Don't get those junk tires................... See attached photos for reasons.............

That was with a set of Grabber ATX tires.......

With that out of the way I would recommend taking a look at the Firestone Destination XT and the NEW Bridgestone Dueler A/T Ascent. The Bridgestone does have options for both P and LT Tires. Unfortunately only LT for that size. The Firestone is only available in LT types with both Load Range C and E. My personal favorite it the Firestone, but I will be trying a set of Bridgestone's this coming weekend.

I will also add that Bridgestone/Firestone is throwing up a nice repate deal through the end of the month($100 instant and another $100 mail in if you have the Firestone credit card).

That's my input
