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.

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.

I have a 2008 Chevy silverado with 315 grapplers on it and a 2 inch leveling kit on the front. I'd like to move up to 37 or 38 in grapplers but am curious how much more I'd need to lift my truck to fit these in without much rub when turning??Anyone out there have any input? joshyostsc@yahoo.com thanks

i liked these tires enough to buy them twice i just dont like the fact that i can pay less for a more agressive mud tire that lasts close to the same time and are way bigger than my grapplers were the tires are great in the mud and sand. i had them in the snow but were low on tread so i couldnt rate how they would do. over all i would recommend these tires to so friends

have them on my 08 titan. i have an 84 ford with boggers and NO theses arent as good but cost more. obviously much better on road. not impressed with heavy mudding. honestly if u have the money go for it but Interco beats Nitto off road. And the person who puts 130m daily? ok 4 years lets round for fun. 200k out of ur tires WOW. And its a mud tire its not even that loud. dont put 31in tires on and complain.

None so far! Jus bought them besides the Price I paid!

I bought these cause they look so good & I don't mind the Noise they make! I think they sound good! I heard they don't last to long on the Hwy, but hopefully they will if I keep them rotated! Plus I paid $375 not including mounting & Balencing! I'm broke as Hell now lol ! I put 35/12.5/R18 on a Dodge 2500 4x4 Heavy Duty! I had BFG 35's & they didn't at all so I bought my Grapplers 35, & don't think they would Rub but there wide & I think that's the reason! I bought a Leveling Kit for the Front that should raise it 2.5" hopefully cause it makes me cry to see those beautiful Tires getting ate up! But if anyone has any advice about that leveling kit before I put it on & waste more money & it not work! Please E-Mail me at perkins704@yahoo.com Thanks! Any advise will be very much appriciated! My names Robbie!

Great tire, im on my 2nd set. 35's and 33's. They perform in any condition, but lack in the mud. They are a very heavy tire though, currently 101 lb (33x12.5R18). Ill probably be getting MTZ's next tire.

I got a set of 33 12.50 on 20 in rims on a dodge ram. these tires are very loud on the high way but pull great in the wet mud and on rocks. If u want to get out of pretty much any thing get nittos.

Here is a list of "mud" tires I have first hand experience with so you know what I am comparing the Nitto's to...BFG Mud Terrains (KM's and KM2's), Pro Comp X-terrains, Goodyear MT/R's and a set of Mud King's. The Mud Grappler out performs every tire I've owned off-road. I've had them in mud, clay, trails, gravel, deep sand, etc. the only thing I haven't really been in is rocks. I am running a set of 37x13.50R17's on a 2000 F-350. They ride better on road than any of the other tires I've had too although they are very loud, not as loud as a Bogger, but you can't hold a conversation on the highway without raising your voice. The most surprising attribute is their ability to get around in sand, also better than any of the other tires listed. The only real downsides to this tire is the noise and price. I have had them on my 8,000lb truck for a little over 20k miles and they might be halfway worn down and I don't baby them. I would definitely recommend these tires and will probably buy another set.
