didn't hear that interco went out.....they used to be the big dogs, but I guess these other companies got smart and started competing w them. I always wanted a set of bothers to romp through the mud

check with Rimz One| Wheel & Tire Packages I guarantee if they will have it, or can get it. I bought two sets of toyo mt, and when everybody else said they were on "national backorder" they had them the next day. Usually they have them in stock, or offsite at their warehouse. you will have to pay for shipping though.

just know that the nitto mud grapplers are probably the loudest tire you can buy, and they are soft and don't typically last longer than 20-25k miles. at least that is what i've been told by those who've had them, as well as the guys that install/sell them.

Yep, I think the Firestone Destinations are the best M/T out there! Great mileage, Load range E, Reasonable cost,

I've run Goodyear MT and MTR's, Toyo MT, Nitto MT, BFG MT, and currently running the Coopers. I have to say that tread wear and all around performance went to the Goodyears. Though I have not run a set of the new MTR's w/ kevlar. The sidewall split on two of them, covered with road hazard.The Toyo's wore well and performed well, got a little loud at 50% tread but most do. I liked them. The Nitto Mud Grapplers looked tough. They were loud and just got louder. Wasn't impressed on or off road. BFG's had tread seperation issues, sold them and won't go back. The Coopers are great. Probably the best all around tire I've ever run in the traction department. Downside is I have about 10k on them and already down around 50% tread, so I may be impressed but my wallet is not.

Did you look into the new Trail Grappler that just came out?

Or how about the Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac?

yes i have looked at both of those but they are not as aggressive as what i want. i did find the Goodyear Fierce Attitude they look like they would be a good tire.
