Looking at the Nitto Mud Grapplers, anyone using them? Are they loud? Any problems balancing? I had a set of Swampers and they were great in mud/snow but loud as heck and couldn't maintain balance at all. Was thinking on a 33x12.50 on stock height 05 F250.

 

They are LOUD. I had them on for a wooping 10 miles, I went with the Toyo M/T
very quite, no problem ballancing, good wear still look new at 10k and GREAT traction.

 

They are really loud. It didnt really bother me that much but it annoyed my passengers. I also switched to toyo mts. Today actually. lol

 

I ave them in 37s. They are LOUD but i dont really mind. I have a little under 3k miles on them and everything is going good. I must say though when i get new rubber i might go with the toyos.

 

I want to get Grapplers for mine too, but can't find any dealers up here in the great white north....

 

Have a look at Yokohama Geolandar AT's while you're at it. They run quieter withoud giving up a lot in performance.

 

I was looking at the Nitto Terra Grappler tires since most of my driving is on road and I don't need the big lugs(or noise) of a MT tire, but I still want something with decent traction for some fairly easy off roading or in the snow this winter. Since this is my first 4X4 I have no experience in this field. Can anyone give me any input on these vs. the Mud Grapplers? The problem I'm having is that I want to go from thestock 265/75R16 to the 285/75R16 (33" tires) but seem to find only a few in load range E...

So far it's between Toyo Open Country MT, BFG A/T KO, or Nitto Terra Grappler. I found a Dunlop "touring" tire that I'm not interested in and a Hankook that the local shop told me isn't available on the East coast. I'm concerned about noise from the Toyo since it has the big lugs. So, BFG or Nitto? Any one with experience with either, I'd appreciate your input. Thanks.

 

I havn't run the TOYO M/Ts yet, but some of my buddy's are running them and love them. Great traction, good balancing, last a long time, and aren't that loud. They look awsome too, I'll be getting me a set soon.

 

Don't worry so much about the load range (which is an indicator of max inflation pressure) as the load rating. A 285/75 LR D will have a load rating within 100 pounds of a 265/75 LR E.

 

Yeah they are loud but oh well they hear you comin down the road and I just crank up the radio. I've had a set of 38x15.50x20 on for about 6000 miles still look brand new. Rotated once already. Do very good in the mud, good load range will buy the same tire again when these wear out. But they are again as everyone has stated they are very LOUD to see pics look in my pic section. I have them on a 2006 f350 amarillo with 11 inch lift.
