Nitto Dune Grappler
Hey,
I was just wondering if anyone has a set of these tires installed and if so, how fast is the tread wear. I think the look is cool, but want to make sure that is not the only thing they have going for them. Thx Last edited by Guero; 06-07-2008 at 09:42 PM. |

Re: Nitto Dune Grappler
well, i have a set on the my truck and they are very responsive tires, built on the same casing as the terra grappler...i thought the same when i first same them now i wonder why i didnt have them before, so smooth and quiet yet handle everything i've thrown at them.

Re: Nitto Dune Grappler
For what it's worth, I don't have any personal experience with them, but the guy that put my Terragrapplers on said that the Dunegrapplers don't have very good wet traction.

Re: Nitto Dune Grappler
Looking at the tread design, I can see why they don't have good wet traction. They do look cool though

Re: Nitto Dune Grappler
might just be the pic but the thread depth doesn't look deep enough to clean themselves well, looks like anything thicker than sand would be tough to get out

Re: Nitto Dune Grappler
I'm not too far away from needing tires myself. I read the reviews on the nitto grapplers on the discount tire website. Just go to the sponsors page and it will link you to the website. Based on reading those reviews I will either go with nitto or michelin.
