Default Request: NITTO Trail Grappler K SPEC tires

Anyone got a set running under the JK, very interested as to where I could get them. Would like more input on these tires especially in a 37". Love the concept of the grooves on the side when airing down real low.
Anybody have pictures of these on ATX slab beadlocks?

From what I have seen it hasn't been released for sale yet and it will only be available in a 40x13.5x17

Well, for the time being they are only for the race cars that Nitto sponsors in the Ultra 4 series. I think that even the K spec they will release in the near future will be a more street friendly rubber compound and not the true "stickies" the guys in the King of the Hammers will be running. You would not see 3-4k miles out of the stickies on a daily driver. Here are a few shots from a run we did last May, my buddy Mel runs them. Maybe you have seen his jeep before

If and when they do release the K spec, would it be similar to the original Trail grappler's compound?..I'm goin to need tires to last a good 40K miles.
Ive seen stickies up close, kinda feels like gum LOL, but the rubber chunks off in the rocks easy.

Not quite sure, but I'll ask about them this weekend in person. Once my Mud Grapplers wear out, I will switch to the K spec 40"s if the compound is closer to the Nitto Trail or Mud.
