Default Nitto Terra Grappler AT?

Anyone have any experience with these tires? Looking at a set of the 35's for my 1500. All the reviews look pretty good and the price on them is decent.

VERY popular tire. I have a set on my Grand Cherokee and I personally know a good half dozen guys with this tire, not to mention dozens of forum guys.

Over-all it's a great tire. Very good dry pavement, very good trail, about the best wet pavement performance you could ask for. Mixed reviews for snow and ice. I've seen some people rave this tire in winter and others say it sucks, so I dunno. About the only weakness is deep mud, but what A/T is gonna be great in deep mud? Also a very quiet tire for a fairly aggressive A/T. Most report very good life out of this tire, but some do say they have worn quickly on them.

Mine have been on for about a year and a half, have about 15k on them and are only just beginning to show signs of treadwear.

Great tire for a daily driver who does some light/medium off-road use.

Thanks for the reply! Thats seems to be the same summary I keep reading about it. Snow and ice is not an issue as I live in So Cal, but the truck will get quite a bit of off road use during the hunting seasons here in the southwest. Thanks for the input!

Have a set of 275/65/20 on my 2011 1500. Had them on my 08 F150-Really like them. These are load range E so a little stiff but give some capacity if you need to haul a load. Agree with Hammerz71 on his evaluation.

I have this tire on my stock laramie wheels and they look awesome. I get a lot of compliments too. I run 305/55/20 with a 1/4" spacer on all 4s. I do have the level kit as well.

Don't think you can go wrong with this tire. They are pricey though!

Pricey? Maybe compared to "Pep Boy No Name" tires. Personally I wanted Mickey Thompson ATZs for my Grand Cherokee but at over $200 each in 265/65/17 I opted for the Nittos in the same size at just over $120 a piece. I think the Terra Grapplers are at the lower end of the price scale for tires in their class.
I don't think I'll see the longevity that I'd see out of an ATZ because I know a guy with 80k miles on his ATZs, but based on how the Nittos are wearing for me, I'd expect 40-50k out of them...

Mine Nittos cost $295 each from 4 wheel online with "free" shipping. $1180 is a lot of cabbage where I come from......

I based my purchase on other satisfied users on this forum plus I liked the way they look. It's my 1st experience with a 20" AT type tire.

I'm still running the original Goodyear Wrangler SRA on my Jeep. They are original equipment and have almost 50K on them and still have safe tread. Probably replace them next Winter, but they are only 16". Went great in last years heavy snow. Will buy them again.

Like everything there is a variance in pricing. I found them for what I thought was a very good price of $242 for a 295-70-18 (a 35"). I've been running BFGAT's for years. Tread life has been terrible, but I was dumb enough to keep buying them. The comparable size BFG tire was running me about $315 a tire. If the Nitto's are comparable with performance and have better wear then I say we have a winner, at least for me!
