I was told you don’t want the tire cleaning out of snow instead you want tires that pack and hold snow because snow holds onto snow better than rubber on snow. Thoughts?
I really like the trail grapplers we have on our LJ but central Texas granite just eats up all tire treads. I average 2 years and probably only 2k miles per set on any of the brands I have used.
If you want a really light Nitto, look at the Recon Grappler A/T. It's about 10 pounds lighter per tire when compared to the same size mud terrain. The weight is often a result of carcass strength. For an extra 5-8 pounds per tire, I'd much rather have the dependability.
@@DrivingLine true. Just comparing nitto to other brands they weigh more. Significantly more. Comparing km3 to the trail grappler in 35 12.5 17 is a 6lb per tire weight. Both E rated
They’re terrible lol they slide all over snow and ice; a dedicated snow tire is the way to go. They are however decent in super deep snow on trails when aired down to nothing. But if asphalt or concrete is involved these are not the way
I would say the Trail Grappler is probably a little better in that department. Both of these tires have really wide spacing between the lugs, so you really don’t pick up that much small gravel.
Depends on the size, load range, and how heavy the Jeep is. I typically run between 28 and 35 PSI on my four-door Wranglers. If you have a TJ, you can go lower.
The mud grappler is great if you don't want to hear other people. Trust me their voice will give out long before the tires.
i just baught some trail grapplers i got 285/75/17 whats the ideal air pressure on road daily driving 36 psi.??
the mud grapp is 100% obnoxiously loud….in a good way!

True
To a point when snow gets really slushy it can help to fling that stuff
👍
Do you do the voice for Exploring North Carolina? 😮
Went to carova Beach with my ram and deff don't recommend mud graps for what it's worth
400 a tire......no!

That's wild! I know Katemcy has Moab-like traction that can be hard on tires for sure.
Are nitto ridge grapplers as quiet as the trail grapplers?
The Ridge Grappler makes less noise than the Trail in my experience.
How would you compare the Mickey Thompson Baja boss mt?
I don't have any experience with that tire.
I wish nitto could lighten their tires up more.

Mud Grapplers are terrific winter tires eh
!
Good to know, EH!

Witch tire picks up less rocks on gravel roads

What air pressure would you run the trail grappler on 2 door Jeep Wrangler on highway.
