Default Nitto Trail Grapplers

Hey everyone, I know there has been alot of interest in the Nitto Trail Grappler MT's and I was hoping I could get some input in the pros/cons, as well as pictures of them. I was also curious as to how many miles you are getting out of them. Possibly even some nice wheels to go with them, I have always been a fan of the black-on-black look. I was looking to go with a 37x12.50R17. Thanks in advance.

I've only but about 2k miles on mine but I'm not having any balancing or noise problems so far and not to mention I think they look great lol. I originally didn't think they was a good looking tire till I say them in person and I fell in love with them.

18 inch XD Misfits 35 inch nittos trails. Have about 600 miles on mine. No balancing issuses at all. Run 32 lbs of air in them. Can't even tell they have been ran. Starting to hum alittle bit but still not loud at all. Only thing I don't like about them is that they are heavy.

What MPG are you getting and what gears do you have? I have 3.73 gears and am debating between the Nittos and the Duratracs.

Running 37s and got around 6,000 miles on them. They look great and ride is smooth for me. I would definitely recommend them.

I love my Nittos! First I had 33" Terras, than I switched to 35" Trails. Yes, the are on the heavy side, but because of that, they are just about indestructible :-)

If you are considering these, I would also look at the Toyos. Same basic tire but its been selling cheaper than the Nittos recently. In some sizes it is siginifantly cheaper. Since Toyos make Nittos....these two versions are very close.

Here are the Toyos close up for comparison
