Default Nitto Trail grapplers...

So who else is getting the new nitto trail grapplers next time they buy tires? I loved my nitto mud grapplers but the constant pull on the engine and deceleration with them was out of control. I'm thinking these wont be as bad and they still look pretty aggressive

IMO, they look like the Cooper Destination STT's...the actual tread pattern...you would think Nitto would come out with something a bit more original...

I might give them a try. Depending on the pricing and sizes when they are put on the market.

they look like Cooper STT, which look like ProComp Mud Terrains, which look like Toyo Open Country M/Ts...





and you can throw the BFG Mud Terrain T/A in there as well:

i still like the look of the terra graps. but there is no way that the trail graps will be able to perform as well as the mud graps. and they will probably be prices in the same range. i guess it is a good middle to the terras and the muds

I've been wantin to go with Nitto for a while, but the Terra isnt enough, and the Mud is too aggressive for street efficiently. this is exactly what I'm looking for. hopefully the price is right. My nearly bald ProComp X-terrains need to be replaced before I try to do any serious winter driving in North Dakota this year

Oh they wear down. I am at 6/32's rear and 4/32's front. After they equal out it will be just about the time the new ones should be out. not too many tires are available in larger tires for 20" wheels so hopefully they are sized the same as the mud tires.
