Nitto Mud Grappler

[BAMFH2]

I saw that Nitto recently released the new Mud Grappler - http://www.nittotire.com/tires_mudgrappler.asp

I am looking for an agressive winter/rock tire and wondered if anyone else has any experience with these tires?

PhilD - that is where I am at now in the decision process - either the 37"MT/R's or 37" SSR's. Leaning towards the MTR's, but checking on availablity - Tire Rack is on B/O.

My Goodyear's are 37*12.50*17. Bought them in September. Went to Discount Tire and saw a buddy of mine and he had them the next day all 5. 1084.00 for all 5 with lifetime balancing and road hazzard. He swapped me even for the spare as it never touched the ground.

The main reason I went with the SSR's was because no one in the country could get the MTR's.

check out the Parnelli Jones (PJ) Dirt Grips. Nice tire and I believe they make a size to work with the H2. Tough to find though. Desert Rat carries them I think.

MT/R really are a nice well rounded tire though. They also fill out the wheel wells nicely and really add a touch of aggression to the trucks look. All this without rubbing.

try the GY MTRs. They are great tires on & off the road. Great on sand and gravel. Awesome on rocks!!!
They don't cost an arm & a leg, either.
If you shop around you can find them for around $200-250.

I think you answered your own question:

"I saw that Nitto recently released the new Mud Grappler"

Means they are new...hehe

Hummerdogg = appreciate the info. Please drop me a note if you hear anything additional on the Toyo's.

Ric - havent seen a price on these, what price have you seen?

As cheap as a set of OEM wheels are, I thought I would mount them with an agressive snow/rock tire and use them during the deep winter months and when heading up to the mountains. Any suggestions on other tires is greatly appreciated.

I have been looking into these tires also, but for the price of these tires you could get yourself some BFG M/T's and a set of SSR's or TSL's for occasional use. Just a thought!
I agree, thet are really nice looking tires, and from what I've heard, thet peform fairly well, in all areas, but are they really worth it?

P.S. Don't rattle to hamster Cage, He'll piss on you the next time you try to pick him up!!

Phil D,
Your conclusions about rim diameter and sidewall height are all wrong. For certain applications, a larger diameter rim is actually more effective than a smaller one. Take desert racing for instance, all those guys run 17/18" rims with 37" tires all the time to lessen the chance of losing a bead at high speed because there is a significantly less amount of sidewall flex. Yes, for rockcrawling and mudrunning a taller sidewall can at times prove to be more effective, but that is not always the case.

I've been thinking maybe even going with 37x13x17 (listed as 36.80x13.50) Super Swamper Boggers or 36x13.5x17 (listed as 36.80x13.80)Super Swamper IROKS. If anyone has had any experience with either of these tires, please let me know.

Thanks.

I've seen them listed for about $450 each.
Pretty ridiculous. Maybe it's because they are so new, and hopefully, the price drops sooner than later.
Good luck!

[BAMFH2]

Hey Zero - thanks for your great insight! It never crossed my mind that they are new and no one could have bought a set yet. Next time I need a worthless empty opinion I'll be sure to rattle your hamster cage. Why waste your time even replying if you are not going to add any value to the discussion?
