I think they look stupid with an aggressive side wall but a normal street tread. Are you looking for an all terrain or a street tire? Get one or the other IMO

They are "the replacements" to the Terra Grappler, so I've been told. Anyway, I am not a fan of the lighting bolts on the side of the Terra Grappler. (Speaking of stupid) Plus the tread is very close to Terra. I think the key for Nitto is the better gas mileage they give. When your looking at $5 a gallon gas in the near future. Between the Terra and CrossTeK I think the CrossTek is the winner.

If they are replacements for the Terra Grappler, Nitto is making a HUGE mistake. Those CrossTek's tread patterns suck compared to the Terra Grappler and they will loose a huge amount of business.

When you stand Terra and CrossTek side by side theres not that much difference in tread pattern. Check it out. I did and I am going with the CrossTek's

IMO....there's considerable difference there. I have no input on how good the Crossteks are, though :shrug:

they are great on pavement but awful on snow, but down here in florida we don't have to worry about that too often. haha

I would buy the Toyo ATs before I paid for those CrossTeks and yes I have owned the Toyo ATs and the they suck compared to the TGs!
