Nitto Trail Grappler M/T Tire Review & Rating
The Nitto Trail Grappler M/T is engineered to combine some of the performance of its off-road Mud Grappler tire with the on-road comfort of the Terra Grappler. This combination is meant to give drivers the ability to take their trucks on any terrain, while also providing a quiet ride when going down the highway.
The Trail Grappler sports a thick all-season and all-terrain tread compound that provides added cushion on rough surfaces, as well as better overall puncture resistance when taking things off-road. Nitto has designed the tread blocks in a way that adds more biting edges and increases lateral stability.
What is immediately noticeable when driving on this tire at higher speeds is how quiet it is. It can often be hard to believe that you are actually driving on an off-road tire. Nitto has utilized the latest in sound analysis equipment and technology to eliminate the road noise both on and off road. We’ve heard other tire owners continually praising this tire for its quietness.
Inside the tire you will find two wider steel belts that provide added strength and stability, as well as enhanced tire uniformity and better overall treadwear. A 3-ply high turn-up construction in the sidewall also improves strength and durability.
Pros
- Excellent balance of off-road performance and on-road comfort
- Tires easily handle deep mud, snow, gravel, dirt and anything else you can drive through
- Tire is quiet going down the highway
- Treadlife is among the best in class
Cons
- Let us know if you find anything negative on this tire
Overall Thoughts
Simply stated…the Trail Grappler M/T is one of the best tires on the market today that provides a combination of both on and off road use. It’s off-road performance is superb. The tire goes just about anywhere you would ever want to go. Hard to ask for much more from any tire.
On-road comfort is amazing for a tire like this. Travelling down the Interstate at 70 mph, you can’t hear much road noise. Carrying on a conversation with those in your vehicle is not an issue. Treadlife is excellent, which is backed up by many reviews from other tire owners.
Overall, Nitto has hit a home run with this tire. It certainly rates among the top 10 models in this class.

Highway tires..I sure do…I use my hiwghway set for highway…if I go off road I simplely swap the set at my house then go play..( right tool for the job) ..mine are in excellent shape only used for off road as the instructions say and still have 75-77 percent tread. Taken off when home,street put back on stay on the rest of the work week.
Great tire, don’t know what went wrong as you said. These are awesome off road tires.. No off road tire will last on mostly highway use..10 ply plus 3 play side wall.manfuc…can not please everyone on the planet.with every tire,they speacifiy no miliage gaurenteen because it’s for off road…keep up the great work to Toyo Corp…yes they are Toyo tires…the name they gave them was nitto,just as a parent names third child..sorry allot of typos auto spell.

Yes totally awesome in snow and packed snow.,wished I could send video,nitto trail grappler just ripping through 4 feet of snow some snow packed,some wet and heavy some dry..did not leave me stranded awesome.2015 ford 250 super duty 4 door short bed 2 in lift..tire 295 65 r20
I’m about to replace the 18″ Nitto Trail Grapplers on my ’14 Tundra with another set. 45K miles (mostly road driving 90/10) and smooth low-noise performance with rotation every 10k. Blew one out on the rear towing a camper last spring due to road hazard but found a used one to replace it on ebay for 40 bucks. They worked for me.
I wouldn’t recommend these tires to my worst enemy! Almost $2K and I could actually SEE the wear in the tread at 8K mikes. I actually worked at a tire shop and have had many different brands on my vehicles. Which include sports cars, luxury cars, trucks, and motorcycles. These were by far the worst, most expensive, and lasted the least amount of time with no off road driving at all. Seriously disappointed.
Don’t buy an off-road mud terrain tire for highway use
I have the Nitto Trail grabs 295/60 /20 on my 2016 Ram…no issues or complaints at all out of these tires..on my 2nd set now..had a little over 46,000 miles on the first set..Great tire would recommend them to everyone.
depending on driving habits and the vehicle, 8k miles is plenty of miles to SEE wear, whatever that may mean. Are you expecting to have a mud tire look brand knew 1/5 of the way through its life?
Great tire, don’t know what went wrong as you said. These are awesome off road tires..

Well then you know if you worked at a tire shop they will only last using for off road use,,not highway use…highway will destory off road tires..but you know this working at tire shop
