? on Nitto Mud Grapplers

foytiX · 08-13-2006, 06:57 PM

I know these are full blown mud tires, but am wondering how they balanced out. Has anyone had any problems with steering shimmy or a lateral imbalance with the tires. All the reviews i've read are positive. I'm planning on buying a set of 35x12.5x18's real soon.
Thanks in advance

Other than the noise, I haven't heard or seen any compliants about the Mud Grapplers. Like Brundy said, Nitto makes great tires.

my pro comp 305 x/at's give some wobble so I'd imagine 35" mud graps would make more... people just accept it is my best guess... part of the deal.

I wanted to get mud graps but heard they don't last on asphault. one guy here had his for 3 months don't know the mileage, but the 4x4 shop owner said he's had one guy last a year and another 2 years. I think he's mistaking tires or possibly he thought or I did say something else besides mud graps. I've heard they wear quick since they're comp tires. other than that, they look sick as all hell!

well the tires are here, put them on and
and
and
these tires are freaking awesome i never thought i would say a mud tire rode smooth. No steering shimmy PERIOD these are definately high quality. My wifes a little pissed i went from 37's to 35's but like i told her i was tired of the trans running hot in the sand. They are definately loud but thats fine with me, i just couldn't stand my steering wheel shaking. I'll post some pics later ( i also ground the steering stops back, big difference there also )
later.

the only problem with the nitto's is that if you drive a lot of street then peices of the tires begin to come off the tread(iv herd). my best guess would be like my OR tires and doing burnouts. o and toyo makes nitto, the nitto mud grappler was a test tire for the toyo open country mt, so they are both mud tires but the toyo is a lot better on the street. i like the looks of the grapplers better tho.

No, it has not been found yet. He's negotiating a settlement now and should have a new truck soon. I guess anything is possible, it could have been his???

Qwik...thanks for the link bro...

foytiX ...thanks for keeping an eye out for me bro, I really appreciate it....my truck hasn't been found yet. I can't believe someone would be dumb enough to drive my truck as it sits...but I guess you never know. I'd love to get my hands on them.
