Anyone running Nitto Terra Grappler?

Could you post an update on how the tires are handling as they wear? I just put some on my truck in stock size and experienced the wandering too. The shop put 70psi in rears and 60psi in fronts; I dropped those by 10psi each and handling improved, but I'm hoping it gets better as the tires wear in. If you tell me you've seen no improvement, I may try to return them.

I now have over 10,000 miles on them and they're rock solid. I'm still running 60 in the front and 45 in the back.

The wear seems to be pretty good too. I don't expect to get the mileage I got from the OEM Michelins, but they should do 50 or 60,000 easy. I consider that a fair trade for the traction improvement in the rain.

I have the 305's E rated, and 2" leveling lit. The look is awsom, the ride is great, the RPM drop is about 300 RPM's, you won't regret installing them, just make sure you rotate them every 5000 miles, they want to cup a little, and it causes some road noise, I would buy them again, no question, fantastic on wet roads.

Thanks for the update Bob, that's good news. Interesting tire pressures you're running, I might have to try it for a while, though 45psi in the rear seems really low, and I'm sure I wouldn't like 60 in the front, so maybe 50 in front and 45 in the rear for me, or 50 all around. Then when I load the truck or tow the trailer I'll reinflate to 60 front and 70 rear.



Doupe, you rotate every 5000 miles? I guess that isn't too excessive, I'll watch how mine wear.

Installed the Nitto's (and FabFour Bumper)

Well, I finally installed the Nitto Terra Grapplers about 5,000 miles ago and they are beginning to break in... not getting as much wander as I did initially. Still have to get them high-speed balanced due to a slight vibration around 70-74 MPH. Other than that I love 'em I got the LT305/70/R17 's.



I hadn't posted because I wanted to included pics in the Gallery, which I couldn't due to some front end Deer damage which I had to fix. Part of the fix was replacing the front bumper. I selected the FabFour for its low profile and overall appearance. The guy's at FabFour (Thanks Andy, Matt, and Seth!!) did a fantastic job getting me set-up with the right bumper and working with me to get it painted.
