Default Nitto Mud Grappler

I know alot of people have opinions on these tires. If you do I want to hear them.

Do you hate them? Then let me know.

Do you love them? Then let me know.

Do you have no opinon? Then I don't care.

Do you have them? I wanna see them. PICS PICS PICS

Thanks in advance

I'm looking at running them on my factory wheels 35 12.5 18

I sent you a few pics when I pm'd you. I have some additional pics somewhere, just need to find them.

My initial impression. Love them. Would definitely buy them again. Have a distinct "hum" down the road, but honestly think they are no louder than a set of goodyear MTR's on my old TJ. My brother drove my jeep and mentioned how road friendly they were. Alot better than the buckshot mudders we ran in high school.

Opinions are like butt holes, we all have them and most of them stink. I am jealous, you will be pulling me out with my wimpy little BFgoodrich mud terrains.

I love them. They have a good hum, but are not as obnoxious as I thought that there were going to be. They ride fantastic on road and grip outstanding off-road. I had Toyo MT's on my CJ and I thought that they were great tires, but because they became so popular, the price shot sky high so I gave the Nitto's a try and I'm glad that I did. I buy them again in a second.

I have never run them myself, but I think they are a great tire. The shorter sidewalls make the tire stiffer, so they don't conform to obstacles as much as other tires, but they do handle extremely well on and off road. Not to mention their tread pattern doesn't dig into sand as much as some other tires. Plus they look cool.

The hard part is finding a jewelry store that carries them!

Hey BLKRUBI thanks for the info. I've read alot of reviews but not from jk owners. Your JK looks awesome. I saw the pics of your fog lamp install. That looks awesome.

I would think so. Maybe tonight when you're up until 2 am you could scout one out for me.
