Nitto Terra Grappler AT Tire Review & Rating

If you do a lot of on-road driving, yet want a tire that also provides weekend off-road driving performance, then the Terra Grappler AT from Nitto may be the tire you’re looking for. Built for drivers of pickups, SUV’s and crossovers, this tire is engineered to perform well on all types of road surfaces and in all terrains.

The all-terrain, all-season tread compound is molded into an aggressive looking tread design that features high-density siping for enhanced traction on wet or slush covered surfaces. Biting edges around the shoulders add more grip when driving in the snow or off-road in the dirt, gravel or mud.


Nitto Terra Grappler AT Tire Review

Off-road performance is increased due to the balanced void ratio and unique treadblock coupling joints that are strategically placed between the tread. They help eliminate flex and provide added traction.

Inside the tire are twin steel belts and twin spirally wound nylon cap plies that give the tire a larger contact patch, and increased strength and durability. They also add more stability when driving at highway speeds. Road noise is not as pronounced with this tire as you will find with many competitor tires in this category.

Pros  
  • Excellent traction on dry, wet or snow covered road surfaces
  • Handles well on light off-road terrain
  • Steering response is above average
  • Very comfortable on the highway despite being an AT tire

Cons

  • Expect a little extra road noise due to the AT tread design
  • Tires may pack up in deep mud or dirt

Overall Thoughts

This is yet another quality tire in the Nitto lineup. The Terra Grappler provides excellent performance on the highway with its quick steering response and handling. The ride is surprisingly comfortable for an AT tire as well.

Off-road, this tire does very well on light terrain. Heavy mud, sand and deep dirt is a different story. The tread can pack up and leave you spinning your wheels. Road noise has been an issue for some, but honestly, this is an aggressive all-terrain tire and a little extra hum or road noise is to be expected. That said, this tire is a good option for drivers who do a lot of on-road driving, while also having the ability to take it off-road for those weekend fishing, boating and camping trips.

One thought on “Nitto Terra Grappler AT Tire Review & Rating

  1. I was trying to decide between the Terra Grappler and the BFG AT KO. Chose the grappler based on reviews for my 09 Tundra. Very happy with the decision.

    I use the truck a lot on my farm and this tire has never let me down. It has also done a good job in the snow.
