Nitto Terra Grappler AT Tire Review

Whether you do a lot of highway or off-roading with your SUV or Crossover, then the Nitto Terra Grappler AT is designed with you in mind. In fact, a leading consumer magazine ranked it at the top of its class for its performance on wet and dry road surfaces, as well as being the most quiet tire.

The first thing that will strike you when you see the Terra Grappler AT is the impressive tread design with large lugs on the shoulders. These large lugs are there to provide added traction in mud, sand and loose gravel. Besides on-road traction the Terra Grappler AT is also great at handling off-road terrain due to the tread block coupling joints in between the treads which reduces flex. The tire also has a balanced void ratio which further supports the tire in its characteristics on-road and off-road.

Nitto has given an option to customers to choose between two sidewall designs and customers can choose which of the two they would like on the outer surface of the tire. If you look closely at the tire you will find that it has multiple sipes all over the tire. This supports wet traction performance, as well as improved handling on muddy terrain. The risk of hydroplaning is greatly reduced thanks to the dense siping on the tread. With these tires you will never have a worry in heavy rain.

Inside the tire you'll find two steel belts for reinforcement and to provide a large contact patch for superb stability to the vehicle. The large contact patch also provides extra grip when driving on off-road terrain. The Terra Grappler is also one of the quietest tires in its category with significantly reduced road noise. The stability of the Terra Grappler is further enhanced by two spiral wound nylon cap plies which feature on the surface of the tire. If you are on the highway, two spiral wound nylon cap plies enhance high-speed stability even at very high speeds.

Overall, the Nitto Terra Grappler is one of the best all-around tires in its class, with excellent grip and performance on all types of road surfaces. Add in the fact it is very quiet and comfortable, and has a 50,000 mile warrant, and Nitto has come up with a worthy performer.
