I'm Fuller from Custom Offsets, Custom Offsets TV
on the YouTube.
Today we've got seven tires in front of me
and these are arguably some
of the best mud terrain tires on the market,
but they're all best for kind of their own reasons.
So we're gonna go through the lineup
show you some pros and cons at each one,
and explain a little bit
about these tires so that you can make kind of
an educated decision when you're shopping for tires.
So if you've got a lifted truck
or you're in the lifted truck game, you know
that tires are an expensive part of owning that truck.
So we wanna make sure
that you're making the best decision
when you're putting rubber on your wheels.
Now, obviously we do packages too,
so if you need wheels, tires, suspension,
the whole nine yards.
We got that all for ya on the website, but diving into this
I think we're gonna start on this end.
Some of the more popular names
that you've probably already heard of for comparison wise
as far as pricing goes and load index, load range, all that.
I went ahead and found the data for 33 by 12.5 R20.
So when we say 33, we're talking 33 inches tall.
12 and a half is gonna be how wide that tire is.
R20 meaning it's for a 20 inch wheel.
The very first one here, this is the Toyo Open Country MT.
So for the Toyos you're looking at a load range E,
it's 114 load index.
So plenty heavy duty as far as towing goes.
If you've got a three quarter ton truck
or anything like that, this is a 10 ply rated tire.
These are actually some of the heaviest tires
coming in at 71 pounds each
and they're also on the higher side of the price scale,
right around $2,100.
As far as the design goes,
you've got these really wide shoulder lugs here that kind
of taper back towards the center.
It does follow your traditional four block pattern,
but they're really angled in the center
to give you this extra grip.
They've got these big scoops
on the tires to give you that extra traction.
As far as sidewall goes too, relatively aggressive sidewall.
The design isn't super crazy,
but it sticks out a decent amount
that it gives you that nice appearance
when it's mounted up on a wheel.
They also do have the stone ejectors on the outside as well.
So you're getting nice features like that.
So you're not getting these things caked full of mud.
That's another good point to bring
up, these seem to self clean really well.
So once you get up to speed, a little bit more stuff
just flings outta here and you're not gonna have to worry
about turning these nice mud tires into racing slicks.
So moving down from the Toyo,
we then have the Nitto Trail Grappler MT.
This is the comparable tire here.
Again, Nitto is one of those brands
that's been around forever.
My favorite thing with the Trail Grappler
is just how square this thing looks.
As far as an aesthetics point of view,
it's very squared off.
You do have some kind of scoops on the side here
with an alternating design on these shoulder lugs.
Again following your traditional four block pattern,
but they put these large cuts in the outside lugs to
kind of give it a more aggressive look as well.
Same thing here with the stone ejectors.
So that should cover it as far as looks go
on the tread pattern itself.
114 load index, it's a load range G, it's a 10 ply tire.
Weighs in at about 66 pounds per tire
and it's gonna be under $2,000,
right around the $1,900 range for the 33 / 12 and half R20.
Another unique thing for the trail grappler MT
is it actually has two different sidewalls.
So they call it a less aggressive and more aggressive.
They're pretty hard to differentiate
which one is more or less aggressive,
but on one side you've got these smaller side lugs
not necessarily giving you any kind of grip,
more so just style.
And on the opposite side, it's more of a,
it reminds me with like a Baja style tire
where it's very straight cut down.
They stick out a little bit further.
So I guess that's what I would call the more
aggressive side.
By default, we give you the more aggressive side.
If you want, for some reason less aggressive side
we can do that too.
But by default, we give you the more aggressive one.
Cause people always ask, are they actually 12.5 inches wide?
On the Nittos and Toyos you're gonna see that,
yeah, you're coming out right about 12.5 on the Toyo.
The Nitto, 12 and a half there as well.
Moving down onto the Mickey Thompson Baja MTZ P3,
that's a mouthful.
This one, it does still have the four block tread design
but this center sections are so close together.
It really looks like you've got these three big
giant lugs coming at you.
Now, they don't actually offer a 33 / 12.5 R20.
The closest comparable size to that
is gonna be a 305 55 20.
Reason being, they offer those all the way down
to like 15 inch wheel sizes.
So if you're a hardcore off-road guy
they've got options there for you in like a 33,
but they also go all the way up to forties in these.
Stone ejectors on here as well.
Love the sidewall design,
kind of this scooped out block pattern.
And even up onto the outside shoulder lugs,
you've still got cutouts in the side of those as well
that alternate between the cutouts,
and then the big scoops on the side.
So plenty of grip, deep mud, deep snow kind of situation.
This is gonna get you going fine.
They also do have a little bit of siping in the top
which is gonna help for that winter traction,
where these two don't have quite as much of that.
As far as the numbers go in the data
on this one in the 305 55, it's 121 load index,
which it's actually more heavy duty
than some of the other guys
10 ply, 68 pounds, manufacturer's warranty,
so none of these actually have a mileage warranty.
You typically don't get a mileage warranty
with a mud terrain tire, but you still have
a manufacturer's warranty that covers uneven wear
and manufacturers defects, things like that.
Moving down to the BFG Mud Terrain KM3.
This is another one of those
really aggressive looking tires.
They make this all the way down into the UTV sizes
as well as your big giant lifted truck applications too.
So I guarantee you, they have something to fit.
As far as the numbers go, it's 114 load index.
It's a load range E,
very similar to all the other ones that we've seen.
The tread depth on here is a little shallower
than some of the other ones.
This is gonna be 1830 seconds.
Price point, you're looking under $2,000 for the 33's,
right around $1,920, $1,950.
You have very, very square cutouts
and the shoulder lugs
actually extend down on to the sidewalk
and then they have this kind of angled cut forward,
that I think looks really sharp on there.
And then it's a BFG,
so it's just got classic BFG styling.
Now, sometimes we've said that BFGs are your dad's tire
but that's the alternating TAKO2, not the KM3.
This thing's a beast off-road.
Moving down into some of our lower price point options,
the Atturo Trail Blade M/T.
So we ran Atturos on, I don't know
40 different builds that we did here.
We had them on CO2.
They're used a ton and they're also a lot more affordable.
So like a 33 / 12.5 20 here, it's only like $1350 or so,
and you still get load index of 114, load range G.
They're a little bit lighter weight actually,
about 63 pounds.
Again, they have a manufacturer's warranty
not a mileage warranty.
The biggest complaints that we hear
from people is that they run a little narrow
and we're not here to hide anything from you.
We'll measure it.
It's about 11 and three quarters, maybe 12.
So is it a little narrower?
Sure, but it's not really a huge deal there.
If you're trying to actually fit a larger setup
than probably what you should on your truck.
It's not necessarily a bad idea to go with an Atturo
because you do shave off just a little bit.
So if you're worried about trimming or cutting
you can actually get away with this tire
in a larger size than some of the other ones.
The sidewall on here, Atturo got it right.
This thing is aggressive, angled,
still has your four block tread pattern on here,
stone ejectors.
There's not any of these that I would describe as quiet.
There's some that are quieter than the others.
Probably the Trail Grab is pretty decent
and the Cooper, however, is like the opposite
of the spectrum, where that's gonna be just as loud
even though it's a big name brand tire.
It's just as loud as some of these other ones too.
This one falls into the best category
because it's the best price,
and if you're shopping based on price alone
this is gonna be a good option for you.
So this is the Vercelli or maybe the Vercelli,
if you're from Italy. I don't know how to say it.
In a 33 / 12.5, it's under 1200 bucks
like 11, $1,130, $1,150, somewhere around there.
119 load index, so still plenty capable
for your heavy duty trucks, your towing applications.
Load range F so it's actually higher load range
than some of the other ones.
Weighs in at 62 pounds.
Does have a little bit less as far as tread depth goes
at 1530 seconds.
So that's where they're shaving some of that weight off
of there, is just with a little less rubber on here.
You still have stone ejectors.
You still have siping.
You still have the traditional four block tread design.
The center tread as well as the outside shoulder blocks
are actually stepped tread.
So as these things wear,
you end up with more surface contact
that should hopefully help with noise as it goes down
Sidewall on here is nothing super special to talk
about, pretty standard stuff there.
They do have a million of these little rubber things,
when I don't know why they have so many,
but it's ridiculous. Look at this. You see this?
Why are there so many?
As far as width goes,
that's what everybody's gonna want to know.
Are they true to size?
Kind of the same story as Atturo here,
we're looking, call it 11 and three quarters there
on the 12 and a half inch wide tire.
Moving down to the last one here.
This is the Cooper Discoverer STT Pro.
Why there's two ERs in there, I don't know,
but that's how they did it.
In a 33 / 12.5, 121 load index, so very heavy duty tire.
Load range E, weighs in at 68 pounds,
so not too bad there.
So they have the stone ejectors that go a lot deeper
than some of the other ones.
So as far as self-cleaning goes, it's excellent there.
They alternate between a four block and then a,
well what do we want to call this? Three?
It's kind of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,
but these outside ones are connected.
So a little different pattern
than you're seeing on some of the other ones.
They do also have these scoops cut
in to the outside shoulder lugs to give you
a little extra traction off-road there.
The name of the game with off-road traction is surface area.
How much rubber can you get in contact
with whatever you're driving in?
And the more you have, obviously the more momentum
you're gonna have to push you forward.
The more grip you're gonna have to push you forward.
So they've got the little tiny ones that are scooped
out vertically.
They've got big giant, horizontal ones.
Lots of surface area on this tire,
so you don't have to worry about getting stuck there.
Keep in mind again, this is a mud terrain tire.
It's designed for an off-road application,
but a lot of us are running these on the lifted trucks
because it just looks like that's where it belongs.
Sidewalls on here, pretty aggressive styling,
not sticking out super far,
but still have a lot of different cutouts and indents
and whatnot to give this an aggressive looking sidewall.
So even though this thing is like under 1200 bucks
the question is what, what is on the inside?
Well, we're gonna have Banker slice this thing open
and compare the Vercelli to the Nitto
and we'll see what's inside.
Banker, get your favorite tool, we gotta cut these open.
- You ever done that before?
- No, you're doing it.
- Yeah, it's not fun.
- Well, I didn't say it was gonna be fun.
We're gonna cut this Vercelli open
and compare it to the inside.
Cut it this way.
So I can see a cross section.
- Yeah.
- And then cut the Nitto.
- This part of the tire-
- I understand.
- Is steel.
- I understand it's steel.
- Surrounded by rubber.
- We're gonna see how much steel is in there.
- So was my frame, but you cut right through that mother
and I watched it happen.
- Yeah, cause it didn't do this when you tried cutting it.
- Right. I'll hold it.
- All right.
- Like I did my frame.
Remember?
- You better put some gloves on.
- No.
- Bring it back here.
- Yeah.
An arm pump.
- Where's the guy that was gonna hold it.
- Can you see the vibrations in my hands?
- These tires are made really well.
- Yeah.
- This is hard.
(loud sawing sound)
- Junior, call your mom, she'd like this.
(loud sawing sound)
- No, it will flex too much.
He's gotta get close to the bottom
and then we'll flip it over.
- Oh no.
- Oh, this one had a hole in it already.
- We split it.
- Oh.
(loud sawing sound)
- That was easier to go that way.
You should do that.
Next time just go in the middle and go out.
- Oh yeah, sure, look at that.
- You just look at it.
- It's a display piece.
- Oh, whoa.
- Come on Junior, why'd you let go?
- Tires now, like it used to be a 10 ply was 10 ply.
Now they're just 10 ply rated.
It's just the amount of rubber that equals what 10 ply was.
- Yes.
- They don't actually do that anymore.
Maybe I should have said that to begin with.
- Let's cut this one.
(loud sawing)
- You need to do it that way. That was so much easier.
That first time was (indistinct)
- I told the guy that we were cutting tires and he said why?
And I was like for scientific experiment.
- What size batteries?
- He's like, where do you work?
- Slow and steady wins the race.
What are you doing?
- Yeah, manhandle that.
- Oh, I almost lost a pinky.
- It took the carbide teeth right off of it
from cutting through those.
- Yeah
- Just a fucking solid, like steel beam.
- It's got more steel in it.
- That's the way it is.
- I feel like I want more steel inside of it.
- Does it have more steel?
- It feels like it has more steel.
- So looking at these two now cut open and side by side.
We've got the Nitto on my left and the Vercelli on my right.
You can see that they're relatively similar
as far as construction goes, like starting
with the steel cable in the bead area.
They're pretty similar in diameter and quantity,
as far as that goes,
and the construction's kind of the same
with the layering here.
Steel amount looks to be similar probably a little bit less
in the Vercelli, but the biggest difference
is the thickness of the rubber in the Nitto.
So you have a lot more underneath the steel belting
in the tread area as well as above.
A lot more above as compared to the Vercelli here
where you only have, you know,
two millimeters maybe above or so,
and just a couple layers below.
So, similar in construction
that's where the weight difference is gonna come from.
When you have less steel, less rubber
obviously overall you have less material, less weight
but similar construction.
It's just the quantity, the thickness and the quality
of the rubber materials that are used that kind of
make the difference in the price.
So, you know, you got your more high end tire
on the left hand side
and your budget from the tire on the right.
So that about wraps it up then.

You're not cutting that one open.
You're cutting this one open.
You leave that tire alone.
- Yeah, I'm pretty sure this is the one we're missing
from (indistinct) kit.
(shushing sound)
- So let me go look.
