    I know....I'm just in a bad mood:mad:. Still, nothing for a 15" wheel? Not even the Terra Grappler ATs.

    Finally Nitto puts something between the "too aggressive to actually drive on pavement" Mud Grapplers and the Terra Grapplers.

    Nitto needs to rethink the way they introduce tires. The tires capability is overlooked because they release them first in "big gay truck" sizes instead of sizes wheelers actually use. A few months after initial release, they will be available in more sizes.

    I checked out Nitto and there's not much info on em...They'll prolly cost the same as Terra Crapplers, maybe a lil more but they look like they'll wear good

    RIGHT!

    I have 30K on mine, and am halfway thru the tread life. PLUS, they grip better than any BFG I have used. :D

    the ones i had wore like crap... and about the only situation i found that actually gripped good was in the snow. buddy has a set right now with 20k on them and they MIGHT make another 5k if he's lucky.

    i expect low mileage out of a mud tire but not an allterrain. last set of bfg at's i had i was at 60k on em when i sold the truck and they still had plenty of tread left.

    Gottcha. Thats interesting, as I have compared the Nitto right next to the BFG's. THe BFG's DO wear better than the Nittos, But 20K and almost shot is really bad.

    I received a set of the Terra Grapplers from Nitto, Just before they came to market. I had to write a review on them. I have always been a BFG fan. I ran some trails of varying terrain on the BFG's (ranging from rocks, sand, granite, shale, and under water) then had the Nittos put on and ran the same trails. The Nittos, Hands down, gripped better. I have been running them exclusivly on all my trucks ever since. :)
