Just got back from driving in the snow. We have about 3 or 4 inches here in Baltimore and just wanted to post my first impression of my new Nitto Trail Grapplers and how they did in the snow.

They were pretty good. No sliding except when I gassed it up around turns (which I do because its fun to slide). Overall I would say they did a damn good job, much better than the stock KMs I had before (which weren't bad in the snow).

 

i seen these.. they look good but.. they have no 33's in 15inch rims..

 

Other than snow how have theyve held up..on road and other off roading? Thanks

 

I still have the KM on my Rubi and we are working on 6" plus here and I was really pleased. I have heard people complain about MT in rain and snow, but I rolled just fine this morning with no incidents.

 

I haven't hit the trail with them yet, just got them a few weeks ago. They do well on the road and in the rain. They are also pretty quiet. They don't offer the softest ride, which I don't mind, but that's expected since they're e-load tires. I'd recommend them so far, and will definitely post on trail experience when I get the chance to head up to Rausch Creek again.

 

Sweet thanks!

 

I rode in the snow a few times with the KM's, they weren't too bad IMO. I do however feel the trail grapplers provided better traction. I found I slipped a bit more with the KMs.

 

Hopefully they're popularity will take off and Nitto will offer more sizes.

 

I think they look really nice. I wonder how it compares to the Toyo Open Country MT? Both are really good looking tires!

 

The Toyo's were my first choice because they have been around for awhile and have been proven. However, for me the price difference was too much. They are both made by the same company and are manufactured under the same standards I believe. Someone with more knowledge can probably chime in and tell you for sure. I can say that they required very little weight to balance.
