Anyone have experience with Nitto tires. I was looking to pick up a set for my Silverado 4wd.
Terra Grappler AT
or
Trailer Grappler
-
I have the Terra Grappler AT's on my old GMC, they are metric sized but work out to about 34" actual height on the truck. They have been great in rain, snow, ice, mud, slimy boat launches and pebble boat launches like Mukilteo. I'm pretty sure there is no tree I can't climb if the bark stays put! They haul weight well too, I had my truck loaded down pretty good with a bunch of scrap metal (3/4 ton squatting about a foot), the sidewalls didn't bulge out on it and it drove pretty much as normal so long as I left extra room to stop it! They are also very quiet, I have a stock exhaust on my truck and hear it over the tires on the freeway.

I had a set of terra Grapplers on my 2000 F350 and I liked them. I got a ton of miles out of them and they wore even. Just got a another set of Nitto but I went with the trail grappler. The trail grapplers do have that mud tire noise but other wise they are great.

:yeah: They have the noise but are alot smoother ride than the M/T I used to have
-
Good to hear. I will see what kinda price I can get through a friend of a friend :chuckle: hope its a good one
-
Im running the trail grapples on my dodge and id buy em again. They seem to be close to the toyos. If the price was close id buy the toyo tires but the trail grapples were $400 less when I got them. I think they screwed up on the price though.
-
also check out discount tires they will price match even if its off the internet you just have to show them the quote but it has to include the shipping cost.I saved 250 dollars on my bfg km2 doing that
-
Nitto is a sister company to Toyo. Both make great tires. I had Terra Grapplers on my Ram. They had excellent traction in snow and rain.
I'd buy another set.
-
Nittos are the stuff.I wanted to put some dura grapplers on my Tundra.But the closest place to me to get them is Oly.Too far to go if I have a flat.Want rebalance etc.So ended up with schwabs Toyos.Good tire salso.But not my first choice.
Nittos are known for quality.Probably one of the smoothest running tires out there.
-
If I have a choice in tires it's nitto. The terragrapplers I've had where great tires, lasted a long time and where great all around traction. The mudgrapplers where loud but man where they great tires, put 65k on them and loved the traction I would have had another 7-8k out of them but got a nail in the side wall.

I've heard good about them.

I've had 2 Ram trucks in the shop that had Nitto's on them. I think they were Terra Grapplers. They were on trucks with tire pressure monitoring systems on them and both trucks were 2500's with 60-70psi needed to keep the TPM light off. The max psi on these Nitto tires on these 2 trucks was 45 psi. I don't know if the owners cheaped out on the tires or if the tire shops sold them the wrong tires or what but we had to tell both guys that the tires wouldn't hold the pressure needed to keep the light off. Both guys were pissed off.
My buddy had the Nitto trail grapplers on his half ton Chev truck and likes them and he just bought them for his new Rubicon too.

Who ever sold them there tires ripped them off and gave them p metric no lt tires.

TPM's are junk anyway... unless you use stock tires on your rig they are worth :crap:

I don't know what you mean by junk. They work and they tell you if you have a low tire...very trouble free system on chrysler/jeep/dodge vehicles anyway till someone messes with them. They even work with non-stock tires just fine. Also pretty much every vehicle on the road after 2008 has them unless it's a 1 ton or bigger truck so how do you get around them?
-
I don't have them on my 1 tons... Brother in law has them on his F150 and his wifes tahoe... The idiot light is just that... air pressure for the factory tire is what they are set at, so for example if i run my snow tires on a set of non TPMs rims the light stays on, OR the fact that i run snow tires on less thatn 32lbs, usually around 25-28lbs for the wifes unloaded focus... Just another expensive part that isn't necessary when a little brains and a $10 ari pressure gauge in you rig would do. :twocents:
