    Those Dune Grapplers work pretty well here, in the sand. Bought a set a few months back,mounted them...didn't really care for the on road feel. Sold them to a guy at work. He is in the dirt like every weekend, lives on a dirt road....he loves them. (I got Nitto 404's and couldn't be more pleased) Get 16" steelies, and the ATGrapplers....never heard of anyone unhappy with Nitto.

    I have been to Moab twice and will have to agree with this previous post.

    "Terra Grapplers are by far the best all around tire I've ever driven...great combination of wet/dry traction & very little road noise.
    Bridgestone Dueller "REVO" is another excellent choice." These are a real sweet tire year round.

    Try 265/75 16 for good ground clearance and some sidewall padding when aired down. You will have to trim a little but that is no big deal.

    So on and on I go, the seconds tick the time out
    There's so much left to know, and I'm on the road to find out.

    Like Explorers rolling over after they blow-out, and killing everyone on board?? I've heard a few things about Firestone too....That's why they were dropped by Ford...their oldest supporter.

    The Were not Dropped buy ford Idiot and the tires Where not the cause Theres always one ***#### on every board I own a Vx and thought this site had some Interesting and SMART people. That was just a suggestion on a tire I own and was a very affordable and I like the tire look. Do your research first Ford has been Begging Bridgestone to come back those tires were on Many other types of SUV's why was the Explorer the only one with this issue look at Most High end Vehicles today and I believe you will find BridgestoneFirestone Brands on alot more then you might think and FORD has Made alot of great choices lately havent they!! Chopper you should Buy stock in Ford,

    Those Kumhos were the tires I wanted to get but the size offerings didn't work for me. They are awesome looking though!
