Nitto Trail Grapplers
Anyone try these in snow yet? I realize they are new tires but was curious how they'd do in the snow? I have never ran a MT tire on snow at all so I honestly don't know what to expect with them. I tow a snowmobile trailer in the winter in some of the worst weather possible, so it is priority #1. I will be putting tires on in a couple weeks and I've narrowed it to the Trail Grapplers or the Dura Tracs. I appreciate your advise...

I was honestly shocked at how well they did last winter. I wasn't expecting much, but even on snow-packed-turned-ice on the roads I never had a problem with spinning out or losing steering control. I attribute that more to my driving habits than to the tires; they aren't meant for ice and they'll never be as good a snowflake rated A/T, but they aren't the worst tires I've used in the winter. I'd give the DuraTracs an edge because of the way the tread blocks are siped on that tire, the TGs have almost no sipiing at all (what looks like siping in pictures only goes about 1/3rd of the way through the tread blocks, mine are worn well past that).
I had some ProComp Xtreme A/Ts that were excellent, they cleaned snow out better than the Nittos do, and were better on ice since the blocks are more broken up.

I will let you know as soon as it snows in Cincy. I dont plan on driving much though because I dont want the rust monster to eat her up. I'm not expecting much, so hopefully I'll be pleasantly surprised. They do decent in the rain so far.
