Nitto Trail Grappler M/T



Description

The Trail Grappler M/T blends some of the performance of the Mud Grappler with the on-road comfort of the Terra Grappler® to create an off-road tire that is both aggressive and quiet.

For off-road performance, the 3-ply sidewall and thick rubber construction increase puncture resistance. On the tread surface, the blocks provide additional biting edges that command lateral stability and enhance forward traction. For on-road comfort, Nitto’s engineers used advanced sound analysis equipment to systematically reduce noise levels commonly associated with off-road tires for a quieter drive.

  • Deep center sipe increases traction on wet surfaces, helping prevent hydroplaning
  • Z-groove tread provides lateral stability and great traction in mud
  • 3D tapered groove tread adds additional biting edges for off-road exploring
  • Stone ejector helps protect the tread, reject stones, and clear mud
  • Reinforced shoulder groove for better performance without compromising block stiffness
  • Two sidewall designs on each tire, so you can choose traditional or stylized lettering

Thse tires are absolutely the best! I have the second set of these tires. The first set I had lasted 42,000 miles.  My car rides like a dream, it's so quiet! They perform really great in the sand and never got me down through our snowy winters. I would definitely buy these tires again!

    Nitto Trail Grappler M/T Radial Tire Review

    Nitto's Trail Grappler Tire looks super aggressive and tough with its unique tread but is surprisingly quiet and the perfect combination for rugged off-road performance and smooth daily open road driving. The Trail Grappler's have biting sidewalls that can get you into and out of the most extreme conditions Mother Nature has in store and is also very handy when it comes to traversing rocks and tough trails.
