I just checked out thier site too, I think those might be the next tire on my Jeep,very nice looking indeed,I couldn't be happier with the terra grapplers on my truck.

This is from Four Wheeler Magazine.....

Nitto says this new tire is aggressive and quiet. The sidewall combines a three-ply high turn-up construction with a thick rubber compound that cushions the tire and helps prevent punctures. The tread surface blocks are configured to provide additional biting edges that command lateral stability and enhance forward traction. Nitto says the balanced void ratio and stone ejectors help clear debris from the tread to provide continuous traction. All these things helps its performance off-highway.

Nitto engineers used advanced sound analysis equipment when developing the tire to reduce noise levels commonly associated with off-highway tires. The result of this will manifest itself on-road.

The Trail Grappler M/T will be available in September and initial overall diameters will range from 32 to 37 inches. Wheel sizes will initially range from 16 to 20 inches.

I'm also waiting patiently, checking daily. As soon as they're available I'm gettin em. I cant wait!! I cant imagine the price being more than the mud grapplers which are about $300 each for 35's.

all terrains are a little bit cheaper than M/Ts generally and these are kinda like a A/T with a M/T mixed together so im thinkin just a tad under the mud grapplers unless they are going to make them up cus they are new, but man they look good

I think you're going to see a big trend towards A/T & M/T "hybrids" from all the off-road tire companies. For years the only real offering was the Dick Cepek FCIIs, or at least they were the only ones specifically marketed as such.
But now you have the Interco M16s, the Pro Comp X-terrains and the Goodyear MT/R all being marketed as tires for the daily driver that still plays in the mud or on the rocks on the weekends.

I love my FCII's and would imagine the Nitto's will also be a fantastic tire...

I will be putting 35x12.5x17 on my truck as soon as they come out as well I cant wait I believe the price should be about 265 per tire since they arent quite a mud terrain but I am tired of waiting for this tire plus I also want the 35's bad so we have 3 ready to purchase some NITTO tires why arent they giving them to us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
