Nitto Tire Releases New Off-Road Tire: Trail Grappler M/T
Nitto Tire U.S.A., Inc., announces the release of its new off-road tire, the Trail Grappler M/T. The tire blends some of the off-road performance of the Mud Grappler with the on-road comfort of the Terra Grappler, to create a tire that is both aggressive and quiet.
"The Trail Grappler M/T is engineered to be a trail-ready tire without compromising on-road comfort and performance," said Anthony Lee, Staff Engineer at Nitto Tire. "We used advanced computer design and analysis to test the functionality of multiple designs before building the tire. This allowed us to engineer a tire that will perform to our customer's expectations."
For off-road performance, the sidewall combines a 3-ply high turn-up construction with a thick rubber compound that cushions the tire and helps prevent punctures. On the tread surface, the blocks are configured to provide additional biting edges that command lateral stability and enhance forward traction. When navigating tough terrain, the balanced void ratio and stone ejectors help clear debris from the tread to provide continuous traction.
For on-road comfort, Nitto's engineers used advanced sound analysis equipment when developing the Trail Grappler M/T to reduce noise levels commonly associated with off-road tires. The internal construction and tread design also help optimize treadlife. Two wide steel belts provide a stable base for the tire and increase tread strength. This advanced construction provides optimal uniformity and reduces irregular wear. On the outer shoulder block the reinforced grooves maintain block stiffness to further extend the life of the tires.
The Trail Grappler is available September 2009. Initial sizes will range from 32- to 37-inch overall diameters with popular sizes for full-sized trucks, Jeeps and SUVS.

I'm running 285x65x18's on a 07 GMC 2500 crewcab 4x4 diesel. I've got 38K miles on them with no problems and expect to get another 10-15k. I rotate every 7-10k and the wear is very even. I've had to take them back for balancing a couple times but they've always dialed them in. I pull a 10Klb fifth wheel camper some and I've never noticed any handling issues. I do some offroading on the hunting lease, thorns and rocks, and never had an issue. No experience with snow/ice in texas. My only complaint is they are a little noisier than I would like at highway speeds on my truck. Maybe that is just because that Duramax diesel is so quiet!!

i have a set of 33" on my nissan titan and they look sick!! theres a little hum but not bad at all for an MT tire. the only thing i dont like is mine wore REALLY fast. i only have 13000 miles on them and they are almost BALD. i rotated them every 3k miles; however, i drove them extremely hard! i myself would not buy them again because of how bad fast they wore.

got these in a 35 12.50r18 on a 2011 nissan titan. they have 25k miles on em and still have about 40 percent tread. theyre not loud at all on the road, just a slight hum and they will last a long time. i plan on going with the mud grapplers the next set of tires i get for the more aggressive look, but i cant seem to get these trail grapplers to hurry up and wear out lol

Looks great, thrives on the trail.
|

Cons:

Slippery in cold weather, must run soft
|

When I first got these and drove home (jeep jk, 2.5 inch lift) I thought I'd made a huge mistake because they were so rough. Turns out the tire shop put too much pressure in the tires. That said, if I have these at recommended psi, where they get the best gas mileage, they run like a Sherman tank. You really have to run them softer on the road to be tolerable (I run 32-33 psi). That trade-off is about 3-4 mpg, which sounds like I'm whining, but with the price of gas today, it's an issue.
Other thing to really know is that they are great in fresh snow but slide like crazy if even near ice.
On the trail or in dirt and gravel they seem to wake up and want to run. They thrive here and are amazing.

and a Ranch Hand Front bumper in the front they tear through everything and with my KMC-XD rockstar rims they look bad to the bone.

First, for noobs in search of your first mud tire: Yes ladies and gentlemen, you are very likely to operate your vehicle primarily on a paved surface. If you're considering this tire you're actually looking for a street tire with above average off-road performance, and as such my opinion is you will not find a better solution at any price. Properly maintained, this tire will last a very long time. These tires handle very well on pavement in any conditions for an "off-road" tire, and a set of these puppies will dramatically improve your vehicle's off-road traction. Plus I'm telling you the photos do not do this tire justice. These tires look freaking wicked!
Second, a few words for the enthusiasts:
They hum...perfectly! Not growl, not annoying, but a perfectly satisfying hum. The E-rated 10-ply product barely squats at 25psi under my H2 on a flat surface, but will crawl right along behind other rigs running bias tires in most cases. No sir, I'm not saying they'll turn your F150 into a swamp monster, but I think you might find these Trail Graplers surprising. They're the closest thing to what I would call a true A/T tire, and they look just plain mean.
