Default NITTO TRAIL Grapplers and snow

Anyone who lives where the white stuff falls running the Nitto TRAIL grappler? Went to the local tire shop today and kinda am smitten with these, but am worried about snow and ice performance as sipping is non-existent. Of course the salesman told me, and showed me that their plow truck runs these, but is that just to sell them?

If only "looking cool" was the point of buying tires.

I just spent a week in Durango, CO and drove through some snow/ice and they held up great. Now granted it was light terrain in the populated areas I was in but regardless it was still snow. Not sure how deep, thick snow you plan on traveling through....

Default Trail Grapplers

I live in Indiana and Have them..We have gotten snow seems every week and I can tell you they clean out extremely well. My Jeep has never been so dirty. They are by far the quietest MT I have had and highly recommend them!

I've only done short moderate road driving in snow with mine and they did very good. Have done plenty of trail's in the snow with them and am very very happy.
