Has anybody ran any of these tires on a newer superduty making mild power even? The original Terra Grapplers & the Toyo AT's did pretty well on our older fleet of 6.0's with just your usual bulletproofing mods and tow tunes; we usually could get about 45k miles if we rotated them every so often between towing most days and driving on construction sites. But between my 6.7 and dad's newer 6.7 as well as a 6.4 F-450 (all of them with some basic/minor mods for power & fuel efficiency) we can't seem to make them last as long anymore (maybe 30k miles or so). So I was looking at the newer Nitto Ridge & Exo Grapplers as well as the Toyo RT. I've heard people say they love the Toyo RT because it's quiet. I'm not really sold on the tread pattern's look of the RT nor am I on the Exo Grappler but they do both seem to be a mix of an AT and MT pattern. Has anybody ran them with much experience as far as towing and milder performance 6.7 mods go? The newer/unreleased sizes of the Ridge Grapplers caught my eye as some will come with a Load Range F rating which would be nice when towing the Kubota mini excavator on a 22' Kaufman or picking up precast concrete pieces as well. I'm not looking for a tire to last 60k miles with the abuse we put them through but if there's options that offer the same stability when towing, better traction in mud and sand plus the tread wear isn't any worse then I'd rather buy that tire. Here in NC we rarely ever get snow and most of the time i'm just looking for on road tread wear with decent capability when on a muddy or sand job site. Any input on any of the tires is greatly appreciated. thanks guys
