Nitto mud grappler

Anyone running these tires? How are the road manners/wear? Noisey? I want to get them in 35's, so anyone with that size would be preferred, but any advice is appreciated. Thanks

Very short lived tires. I dont believe they work well for heavy vehicles imo.

I run their Terra Grapplers on my Expedition. Not an aggressive tire, but I am hi-way mostly. VERY happy with them. 3/4 tread left and already more miles than the last Dunlops that I tried.

Do you tow with your truck? How much/often? I will be towing arond 12,000lbs this summer (two 4X4's) and don't want tires that are under rated. What is the lload rating on those tires? Sorry for all the Q's but I want to make an educated decision. Thanks

Less than 1000 miles of those were towing. I do pull my boat 6000 lbs. Tires work well for it. They are D rated tires that I have. I am sure you'll be looking for E's pulling that much weight. Seem like quality tires for the money to me. They came recommended by a friend that does know tire construction etc. He thought they were the way to go. Have seen and heard a TON of good things about Nokian tires. Father in law and brother in law have over 70000 miles on sets of them and they look new to me! They both tow alot and love them. Next time around I will be spending a few more $ and getting those for myself. Check those out first!

I have found the terra grapplers are good in the ice, snow, rain, and pavement, but they are not worth a darn off of the pavement, i cant hook our heavy trailers up and pull them out of our job sites with out using 4wd. when I had the bfg all terrains I could cruise out in two wheell no problem, but they seem to be great in the snow and on pavement, load range is good though forpullin

Thanks for the replies, I think I'm going to go with the Dick Cepek FC-II Radials, though. My friend has them on his and hasn't had any problems with them.

That's disappointing to hear...

Can anyone else corroborate that?

I was expecting good things out of these tires. They're on my short list...

Of course I like never go off road anymore.

I dont never go off road either except at the lot(which is dirt) to pick up equipment, but I dont go off and go wheelin anymore like I did when I was much younger, I suppose they may clean out if you were to get some wheel spin but we try not to tear up the lot if it can be avoided
