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.

i got a set of 33x11.5 r 16 from a friend of mine. he had them for about 2 months and was selling his truck and asked if i wanted them cheap so i said hell yeah. 2 days after i put them on my truck i had to try em out so i went to the feild and as soon as i got to the wet spot i fell in about a foot and i got all the way thru it(about 100 foot) in 2wd. so right then and there i decide these tires kick ass.

I have four of these on my 07 F350. With only 10,000 miles on them my R front tire is delaminating badly. The lugs are coming off and seperating from the tire. Nitto is replacing the defective tire (now discontinued) and charging me a pro-rated amount according to remaining tread depth. I'm lucky their piece of sh*t tires didn't kill me or my family. They have the nerve to charge me for replacing their defective product. This company sucks! NEVER by their products! Please be sure to inspect your tires regularly!

i have 33x12.5 on my jeep. i have yet to get stuck but im sure it will happen eventually. they work great in snow, and even better in mud. yea they hum on the highway but your dreaming if you think you can find a mud terrain tire that dosent. its plain and simple, want good tires, pay a little more and dont worry about who youll call when you get stuck.

Tires wear very well. I have these tires in a 38x15.50x18 on a Ford superduty turbo diesel. Great riding tires.
|
Cons:

Loud ass hell. Never had a tire as loud. But to some thats a good quality I like it.
|

Very good tire. You get what you pay for and this is true for this tire. They are wearing great and riding smooth. I have around 25k on mine thats 99% street on a ford superduty turbo diesel. Truck weighs stock 7,300. One of the baddest looking tires ever made. I get complments on them all the time.

These tires are darn near a ten. I have them (33x 13.50r15) on my '02 TJ. They are LOUD (love it) but they ride WORSE than Baja Claws. On a light vehicle like Jeeps... NOT GOOD. I haven't gotten close to stuck with them and haven't found anything that bites harder. I have about 22,000 miles on mine and they are just a tad over half worn. NOT great on the street, but hit the trails and run circles around everyone. My only real gripe is how stiff the sidewalls are. Yeah on someting light like a jeep mud tires ride rough but come on. I HAVE TO run 10-14 psi on the street just to avoid bruised kidneys. No punctures, loud, rough ride, NEVER BEEN STUCK (even @ 50% tread). Pulled an H2 out last week no problem (on a trail... not soupy mud). These guys are fantastic if you can deal with a rough ride and too much noise.

Killer off-road traction
|
Cons:

Loud on-road
|

This tire is off the chain!!! The best off-road performing tire I've ever used. This tire cleans itself out quickly in mud (way better than TOYO M/T) and bites very well on harder dirt. Smooth but noisy on the road... aren't they all?
Size:33x12.50x18.
Veh:07 NISSAN Titan LE.

tire gives you brass balls!! you will take on bigger mud holes,sooner or later you will really get stuck!! hope you have a winch.

it was hard to get input from any body about noise, dont be fooled by posers that have never ran them that will say they are as loud as swampers. NO WAY!! i held off buying a set because Posers were saying they were as loud as swampers, well il tell ya, either they are NUTS with super sonic hearing or they have never ran mud grapplers. i was realy pleased after first put them on and nervousley expecting them to sound like a squadren of B-52 bombers inbound, but to my suprise they only sound like a weak meak little sesna,just a little bit on the sterio and its gone, WAY GOOD FOR THE MONEY!!
