    Thumbs up Nitto Mud Grapplers

    Just saw the new Nitto Mud Grappler tires. They are very sweet. Extremely aggressive looking. May be my next set of tires once I get more info on them! Unfortunately they are not available until sometime in the winter!

    I like them, but they may be a little TOO much. I am seriously thinking of getting something for my stock 18's that will handle the snow a little better than my Yokos, especially since they now have 35,000 miles and the tread has got to be getting down some even though they look fine. What are some really GREAT looking knobby tires that are at least 265 or 275 if not 285/60/18 for the long snowy winter the Farmer's Almanac is predicting?

    I'd really like to see more info on these as they look real nice... I planned on getting a new set of tires soon as I want something that is a little more aggressive than my Terra Grapplers. I however doubt they are going to have anything big enough for me as my 285/60/18's look awfully small now that I lifted the VX... was looking at getting the BFG 35/12.50/18's... anyone know of other tires in this general size? I want to keep my stock 18's. Anyway, if anyone finds more info on the Mud Grapplers, let us all know. I just emailed Nitto to get more... I will let you know if I get a reply.

    TTYL!

    i got the terra grapplers a few weeks ago and have been very impressed with the lack of noise they make and how they look. i drove down the highway yesterday at 80 with windows down and noise was not bad at all (compared to wind noise). with windows up you can hear them but they are not loud at all. just a little more than stock i would say.

    I cant wait for the snow... last year i was playing on stock tires with 50% tread life and was seriously impressed with those in 10" of snow. grapplers should be a blast.

    check my gallery for pic of nittos on my vx

    The Mud Grapplers will not be available 'til sometime in the winter. I checked their website but they have no info posted on them yet.

    Finally! An off-road tire for an 18" wheel!

    Does any body know the potential sizes of these awesome looking mudders?!!

    Are they radial tires?

    Wow! I really REALLY like the way they look! Are they 285's or what? Very nice! I love the picture with the little triangle of your bumper on the ground like it just fell off or something. Is there any rubbing at all once that little operation is performed? I think I may have found my tires unless there are some even nicer looking ones out there.

    I think ALL tires sold in the last 20 years are radials!

    Thumbs up

    If those Nitto Mud Grapplers are radials for sure then that is most likely my next tire! That is if they come in a 32" or 33" they look like they will work awesome. If they don't make a size that fits then the MT Baja Claws are going to be my next tires.

    I don't see why they wouldn't come in the same sizes as the Nitto Terra Grapplers if this is going to be their off road/mud tire. Also, Nitto is primarily a street racer tire company, I would be really surprised if their Mud Grappler was not also a radial tire and capable of handling on-pavement driving as well.
