Nitto Trail Grappler M/T Tire Review

If you are one who drives on-road during the week, yet loves to go off-road for some weekend enjoyment, and want the ideal tire look no further than the Nitto Grappler M/T tire. If you think that off-road tires are noisy you will be pleasantly surprised by how quiet the Nitto Trail Grappler really is. In fact, very few off-road tires combine performance with quietness the way this model does.

What you'll immediately notice is how Nitto has managed to combine the positive attributes of its off-road Mud Grappler tires with the great comfort provided by its on-road Terra Grappler tires.

You can even choose between two separate sidewall designs provided as an option by Nitto. One design has prominent lettering and a sophisticated V-shaped, ribbed stone deflectors geared to appeal to the youth. The second option is more traditional and will be preferred by the majority of tire users. With two designs of sidewalls to choose from you can customize the tire to your liking.

Nitto manufactures the Trail Grappler with segmented molds that fit in together like the pieces of a puzzle and cover it with steel belts. The tire has two steel belts which provide support to the tire and help to balance the vehicle. Large angled blocks stand out giving the tire a macho look and provide stability to the vehicle in all kinds of terrain.

The sidewall consists of a specially treated rubber compound that cushions the ride and also prevents punctures. The construction of the tires has been designed in order to maximize tread life, provide uniformity and reduce irregular wear. Z-shaped groves evacuate more water away from the tire, thereby reducing the risk of hydroplaning.

According to Nitto, their sound engineers use advanced technology and equipment to maximize noise reduction to much lower levels than other off-road tires. The advanced rubber compounds incorporated into the tread help provide excellent grip and improved handling to the driver.

Overall, the Nitto Trail Grappler M/T Tire provides not only solid performance on-road performance and comfort, but off-road performance is equally as impressive.
