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.

Pros:
|
Excellent mud traction and easily cleaned at a relarively low tire revolution. Great on-road handling in both dry and wet road conditions. Aggressive tread design and overall appearance. These tires produce an almost soothing tire growl on the road.
|
|
Cons:
|
Not quite as good in the sand, but that is to be expected. These are among some of the highest priced tires in their class.
|

These tires are leaps and bounds beyond the BFG M/Ts they replaced on my 2005 Jeep Wrangler.
I have had the Nittos for almost a month now, and I have roughly 18 hours on the trails with time in mud, sand and water.
I have not had to engage 4WD nearly as often as I had to with my BFGs, and I have intentionally driven in a lot softer, soupier mud with the Nittos, just to see what they can do. I have experimented to see how I could stick them...It's become somewhat difficult to actually get them stuck at all. The Nittos clean with ease and the huge sidewall lugs only add to the great traction these tires provide.
On-road handling is also considerably better. The Nittos are wider than the BFGs they replaced by more than a full inch, however the lug siping, lug pattern and tire composition/hardness all combine to make both wet and dry road-handling characteristics better than the BFGoodrigh M/Ts.
I have found what I feel is the perfect tire for my Jeep. Nittos Mud Grapplers will be the only tires my Jeep will wear from now on.

I have had these on my Ram 2500 for almost 5 years and only rotated them twice. I've got 60,000 on them and the rears could probably go another 10,000. A little noisy and rough riding, but I'll probably shell out the cash for another set just to get the mileage.

the only way i would recommend this tire is if your putting them an a jeep or extremely light truck. My dad has a 2000 F250 only 30,000 miles and they look like racing slicks. the lugs seem to like seperating alot. I would never get these tires also because their performance in the mud is a joke.

These tires are awesome. Dont let alignment get out cause they shred. With alignment issues I got 25,000 miles. Tires still have tread but are worn so randomly they rock the truck.

Pros:

They look good, hard rubber.
|
|
Cons:
|
Loud, heavy, dig holes.
|
|
Way too loud, way too heavy, way too expensive, they dig holes instead of pulling through mud easily. Not bad in the sand. Much better mud traction when the tread is worn down around 50%. Translation: Definately NOT worth the money. Horrible for everyday street driving (loud as hell) and not great in the mud. I liked my old cheap buckshots waay better.
