Default Nitto mud grappler

Looking at the 37x13.5x17
How r these tires off road? Do the clean out well in mud?
I have a 4in lift and bushwacker flats will the 37s fit?

I want some of these in 37x13.5r18 I'm scared cause it's my daily driver. Noise don't scare me, it's any vibration damage it may cause and a little on the heavy side as far as weight. Has ANYONE had ANY problems with nitto mud grapplers? Other than noise?

You're gonna get a lot of varying reviews on these so be prepared! I would have to say that they are not a very good mud tire. Better than most but not as good as you'd think. So if your idea of wheeling is mud running, look elsewhere. Lateral stability is iffy, but they do pretty well in the rocks. decent trail tire, the noise is just funny to me. Definitely not unbearable, though.

Says the guy running Toyo's....I've been mudding with these and I found them to dig in like spikes, and they clean out real well....As far as vibration, I've heard these tires balance real well, mine are....They are heavy as @#%$ and will seem to bog this piece of crap motor a little but oh well....I've used these the last two years in Moab, aired down and warm they stick like glue....

I love them but i will probably go to Cooper STT's next time because of noise..

I believe the Good year MTRs and DC pecks have a wider contact patch. I now have bfg km2 and they are not as wide. I liked my DC's better in the mud.
