    Hey Josh, I'm about over the trac situation I've been having. I put the stockers back on today and so far it back to normal. Are you sure you have a rubbing issue and not trac noise? It sounds like a nasty rub. I'm about to try and trade out for smaller tires.

    275 70 18 Copper MTP on bone stock
    I shopped and researched for about 6 months on this issue too. I went with the Cooper MTP 275 70 18's from Discount Tire. I removed the front mud flap and that was it. Everything is plain bone stock on my 15' tundra trd. I have no rubbing or any issues. The main thing here is the complete difference in the appearance of the truck. I don't know why the TSS's came with aggressive treads, but the TRD's came with the most P***Y A** tires they could find. Anyways, these "Tundra Talk" threads helped my decision on what to get and what size would work........very grateful. I hope I can do the same for someone else.

    Sorry to dig up an old thread! But I am curious what you thought about these EXO grapplers after a couple years with them, I am considering a pair...Thanks

    I've had mine since May 2016 and I have ~45k miles on them. They get louder as they wear, but probably hands down my favorite Nitto Grappler I've used. They have been great on our farm, no issues in mud (Missouri mud), been awesome in the snow, and they've wore great. I just measured mine, they are at ~7/32nd of tread left. I'll probably replace them next year.

    I've had Nitto Terra Grapplers, Trail Grapplers, Mud Grapplers, and now Exo Grapplers. These feel similar to the Trail Grappler (I hear the carcass is very similar to the Trail Grappler) with a little less off-road grip while being head and shoulders better in the snow.

    Planning on putting these on our 2016 Land Cruiser as well when it needs tires

    @Midmo_tundra Thanks, I live in Montana so the snow performance is important to, as well as overall life of the tire. So it's nice to read some more real world reviews.

    I agree with others - I really like these tires. Ride well and handle great in the snow.

    Without modifications, if we do not take into consideration that I have changed tires a lot of times.
    Looks perfectly. I have already placed the similar wheels and tires on my Ford F150 and I am going to change the tires and wheels on my Tundra. Your decision will be a good example. Thanks
