Gladiator X-Comp MT's

I had 35x12.50R18 Gladiator X comps on a Jeep Gladiator. I put about 25,000 miles on them before I got rid of the Jeep and they looked almost like the day I bought them when I sold it. They were a lot quieter than the mud tires I have on my Silverado now but not as quiet as the Falken all terrain tires that came on the Jeep (those tires sucked). I used the Jeep like a tractor at my farm and I never got stuck with those tires (I had a Rubicon with front and rear lockers). I will buy them again when the other Chinese mud tires I have on my current truck wear out.

I cheaped out and bought a set a few years back. After 5k miles I couldn't take it any longer bit the bullet and went back to BFG. Now I'm a Nitto guy.

Every mud tire out there is trying to be the Nitto Mud Grappler but they can’t be. There’s only one king. Nitto Mud Grapplers. Rotate them every 3,000 miles and if you aren’t running them on a heavy f-250 they’ll last many tens of thousands of miles.

The only king is Super swamper TSLs. Get out of here with that mud grap crap

I had a set of 33X12.50s.

At a creep like in parking lots, they rattled my truck so much it would shake my rear view mirror.... like you could feel every lug contacting the pavement. They were also very hard and not forgiving but it could be because back when I had them they only made that size in a load range F. At 60K miles, the sidewalls began to split along side the side lugs. At that point, I got rid of them but probably could have gotten another 20k miles.

While I didn't have this issue with my set, when I did buy them, the biggest complaint then was getting all 4 to balance out correctly. Seemed like a lot of people had issues with that. (Unsure about now.)

Sure they pulled good, looked good, and were not terribly loud at highway speeds considering how aggressive they are, but I personally won't run them again on a daily driver.
I love my BFGs now, but if I were in the market for a cheaper/bargain MT, I would be looking into the Atturo Trail Blades. My friends had them and they seemed to love them.

They were definitely the king tits back in the day. They’re irrelevant now though. There’s never been a set of TSL’s that could ever last 30,000-50,000 miles and you can find many sets of nitto mud graps that do. If you don’t rotate mud graps like you’re supposed to you’ll still get 20,000-25,000 miles out of them. Rotate them religiously every 3,000 miles and don’t have them on a heavy HD truck and you’ll probably see 50,000 miles. Much better ride too than TSL’s.

Nah. They make radials and 10 ply now. They're still the best thing for farm trucks or camp trucks.

Graps are gay anyways

36k is really good! You definitely took care of them. I ran TSL’s back in the day on my 87 square body Chevy that I drove in highschool.
