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.

Great snow traction, not as good as Swampers in mud, they clog and won't clean out. I think I need to lower the pressure next time. I have the 35/12.5/17s. Good on road, good in rain. Nice road noise, I thought quieter than my old Swampers. Freeway driving they do warm up and tire pressure rises in the summer, must watch the pressures. Great looks and the snow traction is beyond belief. I've pulled trucks from the ditch that amaze me and everyone else. Incredibly tough sidewalls. Nice tire, I would buy more.

Just got 33x12.50-17 mounted on my Moto Metal 951 17X10" -12 Offset wheels today. Have a 2000 Silverado 1500 LT Z-71 x-cab. Tested the tire out a little bit, they did great. Still got to attempt to bury the truck. I have faith in these tires though. And they look great on the truck. On smooth surface road the whine like hell. Sounds like a WWII plane coming by, but I enjoy the sound, lets everyone know they bad!! Will put up link to pics when I load them on Car Domain.

the noise if it bothers you
|

I have these in 37x13.50x22 and I like them they have stood up to every thing I have done with them (and thats everything but rock crawling). They handle pretty good on the road and dont ride too rough compared to a few other tires, they are a bit loud but if that is a concern for you, you have no bussiness in putting a mud tire on your vehicle. The noise does'nt bother me. In mud they do pretty good if you have the HP to keep them turning and clean (not a problem for my supercharged 6.0L!), as well they let the BFG km2's in the dust and made them look like a street tire. They did fair in sand but tend to dig as they are an MT. In the snow they did fair enough in 2 feet of it, do good enough i've never had to use 4wd on the roads when it snows/sleets/ ices, but they dont steer too good on snowy roads but once you slow down a little its no trouble at all. And there is wet and rainy roads, they hold and corner great if you keep your foot off the floor, and if I drive normal they hook up just as if the pavement was dry (but i have broke them loose and had them spinning while already going 35mph and gave it full throttle).
They also wear very good for the lug voids/depth on the tire, i have right around 20k miles on them and have 40% tread left, and I have only rotated the, 2 times. The balance pretty good too, I have automatic balance media in them and never had a problem! Im going to get them agian when they wear out and then go with an 18in wheel as well as rotate them more.

Worst tire for wear

Bought these for my 2005 Dodge 2500. Looked like a great tire. I have had these tires for one year and have 14000 miles on them and just ordered new tires because the tread is worn down so bad. I know these are an off road tire and I use them on the road more but come on 14000 miles thats horrible.I wouldn't buy these ever again.

These tires look awesome.. the sound was not nearly as bad as I was expecting. The hum is there but it's not as bad as some described it on the reviews.

I have a 99 z71 with a 9" lift. I'm thinking about purchasing 37/12.50 mud graps on 18 inch rockstars but I don't know if they will rub. If anyone could email me regarding this issue it would be awesome. Justin_Bryant@ymail.com

Awful on road and not great in mud

These tires look amazing. But there performance is very shotty not good on the road or in mud. But if u wanna tire that looks good go with this tire. But if u really want a tire for just riding around town and sometimes in the mud get destination mt my brothers have had a combined 4 sets and we own our own tire store so the price doesn't matter to us so we know if it's good or not.
