Nitto Mud Grappler
The Nitto Mud Grappler extreme terrain is somewhat different in appearance than most Mud Terrain tires. The Mud Grappler has sort of a reptilian scaled, random lug, computer generated, appearance to its tread design making it stand out in the crowd of mud terrain tires on the market. The lateral tread design with deep voids, wide, siped lugs does improve offroad performance. Mud, sand and rock are some of the terrains where the Mud Grappler excels with paddle-like lugs to propel the vehicle through the terrain. Sidewalls are well protected by large ,very unique sidewall lugs in its tread design that also give the Nitto Mud Grappler an impressive profile appearance that we like. On the road the Mud Grappler does produce some lug slap, giving them a nice hum going down the road that will complement the aggressive look as you pass by. Handling is said to be decent with construction design engineered to perform well on-road as well as offroad. The Nitto is one of the more expensive Mud Terrain tires on the market with a limited size availability.

Nitto Tire does not endorse the operation of any vehicle in an unsafe or unlawful manner. SUVs & trucks handle differently than ordinary passenger cars. Avoid unnecessary sharp turns or other abrupt maneuvers that may cause loss of control, possibly leading to rollover or other accidents that could result in serious injury.
Warning!: Use extreme care with any vehicle with large diameter tires and increased ground clearance due to the risk of roll over and possible injury or death. Use extreme caution and reduce speed during turns or abrupt maneuvers. Always wear seat belts, drive safely, and recognize that vehicle stability is reduced in off-road terrain. Do not drive a vehicle with an altered suspension unless you are familiar with its unique handling characteristics and are confident with your ability to maintain control under all driving conditions.

Noise is considerably loud but it is a mud terrain so that should be expected. They handle great on and off road. Only complaint so far is the price but as they said you got to pay to play, and chicks really dig them so they've already paid for themselves as far as I"m concerned.

yes they howl, i like!! deep snow is no problem as long as you have the clearance. opted for 33x12.5r20, Only drawback is I find myself trying to get stuck.. high centering is my main culprit. on icy roads 4x4 helps as the open paddle-like lugs get a bit washy, but they are still far better than my stock goodyear hp's. those that disapprove of them, either can't drive, or are putting their meats through a grinder and should probably have checked their load rating/wheelspin. i have ran mtr's and kuhmo mts, which are both high ranking in my books, but they can't hold a candle to these shiners off the trail. once my cj-5 is finished, guess what's going on those rims...

I've only put around 2k on these but they are quieter than the TSL radials they replaced and perform just as well in the mud. On the street they drive great. I'm running 35-14.5's on an 04 2500hd. I'd buy them again!

Mud Grapplers weren't exactly my choice they were thrown on my truck as a surprise. Granted yes they were an awesome surprise, but they are now surprising me in how fast they wear out. I've had them for less than 20 thousand miles and they're getting to the end of their rope. I've had them rotated regularly with my oil changes, so I can't imagine if I didn't have them rotated often. From 35-80 mph you're going to get a loud hum, which I don't really mind, it just gives me a reason to crank up the music loud. Plus, make sure if you're going from a stock size tire to a large tire like I went from 30's to 35's that you check your speedometer b/c the faster you are going the more mph your speedometer is going to be off.
On the plus side, these things were AWESOME in the mud! I have an F-250 diesel w/ a 5 inch lift with 35x12.5/20 and I've only had to put the truck in 4x4 once! That was when I was buried up to the frame, and it still pulled my huge truck out with ease.
All in all, if you're looking to put these on a truck you're going to mud with a lot, go for it. If this truck is also your commuter truck, keep looking b/c the mileage will break your wallet.
