Default Nitto Mud Grapplers

How do the Mud grapplers wear? I have my tire selection narrowed down to the Nittos and MT/R's. Light off roading mostly just my DD.

I have a little over 20,000 miles on mine and think I will get another 10~15 befor I change them. They are wearing really well considering I have only rotated them 1 time.

A great tire, you will not regret them.

Here is a picture taken last week to give you an idea of tread still left.

I wonder how the noise is compared the the KM2's ???

Also, are they sipped?
I know the KM2's are and as I am in Michigan and winters suck
I want to get tires sipped (of course I know they could just do it
at the tire shop)

After lifting RubiRascals Rubi at my house couple weeks ago and riding/driving his rig afterwards with the 35x12.50x16 Nitto MGs I'm sold, they will be my next tire. They have a really smooth sound which isn't as loud as a BOGGER which I'm ok with and I like loud, but it's just a mellow rumble, like a milder BOGGER maybe, best way I know to describe it. I have 35"x12.50x17 KM2s now and will be upgrading to 37x13.50x17 or 16 Nitto MGs once I sell my 35s ...which everyone is broke in the world so that may not happen till they wear down smooth ....

What he said. I am running 35's and when I upgreade to 37's, it'll be Nittos again. I love em. Mine have about 11K miles on them and barely look worn.

I've got over 30k on mine. I have not been good with rotations (needs to be done now!) They are a great offroad tire. (which is why I bought them) They are loud on the road and get louder (scream) when they need to be rotated. My only regret is I filled one with Slime and it wont balance. I will buy this tire again!

i have them too. they are soft (great for rcokkrawling and smooth on the street) which makes them wear a little faster. Sounds like a Cessna they are not siped rather they have pre holes for screwing in some screws for tractions in ice.
