Nitto - Trail Grappler M/T

Nitto- Trail Grappler M/T does anyone have anything to say about these tires? I had never seen them before just ran across them the other day on their website.

I just purchased these tires. I will let you guys know my thoughts. Anything is better than the rugged trails I had from stock (did get 70k though)

Just got them put on yesterday at discount tire. Have put 500 miles on them so far and wow, what a tire. Quiet, smooth and awsome. Only one tire took any weight to get them balanced, so I think its safe to say its a good tire. Will post picks later. Looks awsome.

I put them on a month or so ago. 35/12.50 20. And have nothing but complements for them. Awesome looks, quiet, good ride. Put approx 2000 miles on them thus far and am totally pleased. Think I just found the only tire that will be on my truck.

Let's see some pics, I went an looked at a set this weekend and was very impressed. They had mounted them on a chevy, the guy brought them back in two days and had different tires put on... I asked why and he said they were too rough.. "wuss"..

Get some pics up if yall can. I'm goin to get some new tires tomorrow, and can't decide between the trail grapps, or the mud grapps again. I'm definitely leaning toward the trail grapplers, but I wanna make sure I like the looks of em

The best input I can give is that Nitto and Toyo are the Same company. The Nitto Trail Grapplers and the Toyo Open Country MT's are esentially the same tire.

I have the Toyo MT's 35x12.5x17 and they are a great tire! They have some weight to them and do affect full economy, but that is about all bad that I can say about them! I was pretty sure that would be the last tire I ever bought, but I am going to go a size smaller and try the Nitto Terra Grappler 305/70/17's in an attempt to regain some mileage (I drive alot of highway miles and don't neeeeeed the aggresive tread of an MT). With that said... So far I have put 73,500 miles on my Toyo Open Country MT's and will be getting my new Terra Grapplers somewhere between 75k and 80k!

So... Enjoy! I think anyone who buys these tires will be happy!

Do 305/70/17's fit on stock ride height without rubbing on full lock? I had a set of BFG AT's 315/70/17's and they rubbed a lot. My snow tires are 265/70/17's and I hate the look but I love the turning radius.
