Default Nitto terra grappler?

I am considering getting these tires in the 325/65/18 flavor. How true are they to size but most importantly how are they on wet/snow roads? As my jeep will be mainly a DD. Thanks

My 32's measure out to about 31.5, and they've worked well in the snow and wet roads.

295/75/16 - Mfg says 33.27 - they were 32" even sitting under the front end at 30psi on an 8.5" rim.

Didn't run them in mud or sand, but they were great on roads and trails, and no problems with the snow and ice through a Colorado winter. They can't compare to a chained or studded tire, of course, but they are better than a lot of other tires out there. (for winter traction, I liked them better than BFG and ProComp AT's, and the price was quite a bit lower...)

Had my 33's on last winter and they were the best tire I have ever had in the snow/ice/slush.
I like in Akron OH and I wouldn't reccommend any other tire for this shitty weather!!

I have 295/70R18 Nitto Trail Grapplers on my truck. Mud, sand, dirt, rocks, gravel, and yes, snow. Love them, pretty comfortable tire, not too noisy. I love them .

I have never owned the terra's but a friend of mine does and he also loves them.

Mine are 295/70/18's and are supposed to be about 34.25, but they measured at almost 33.75 new. Their performance in rain, snow and ice has been outstanding.
