Nitto Grapplers

I am going to get new tires here in the near future and I want to know what knowledge and experience people have with Nitto Grapplers.

They look like a great tire and have a good aggressive tread pattern.

I just want to know how they do in mud, snow, dirt, rain, and tread life.

Also the guys who are running them can you post pictures.

Thanks

-Jake

I love the look of terra grapplers but I was told by two different tire guys the Toyo Open Country seems to last longer. They are both made by the same company and I think same materials but he just said it was the darnedest thing to see that.

I have zero complaints about the mud grapplers, not sure that is what your talking about or not.

wear is so so, considering a mud tire
rain they are good in
sand good
mud good
snow, not sure yet
wear i have 6k on them still look new.

i had the terra grapplers and loved them. only reason i went to swamper was because its the only company the makes a 35x1050. i'm going to the dune grapplers on my next set for sure.

Get these Jake out off all the tires you have been looking at this is far and away the best bet.

You can thank me later for showing you the correct path of life

I have had no trouble at all with mine. Had them in sand, mud and snow. Clean out well and ride pretty good.

Ive never had them, but I put them on the pops suburban. From a wear standpoint, we sold a lot of em when I worked at discount tire and I had never seen a problem with them coming back in.

Nick, have have you liked your tires so far?

Also I take it that white lettering out isnt an option on these tires?

Their site says no, but they did at one point. I had a set of 33/12.5/15 a few years ago. They were OK, but I wasn't all that impressed with them.
