Nitto Dura Grappler

[JGoss]

Has anyone seen these yet. I saw these on the back cover of the new Diesel Power mag. They kind of resemble the Toyo A/T. It said they will be available in E rated with 2 different sidewall designs, so I guess they aren't out yet.

 

[rbattelle]

I assume (by the name) they're designed to last a long time? Don't see them on the Nitto website... .

I didn't see them on their website either.

 

[willysrule]

they are on the website now... . I'm quite interested too... 285 and 305's are in "E" rating... .

 

[DCreed]

I'm running the 285s E range now! about 3k on them, not bad.

 

[MMoyle]

Do you have any pictures of them?

 

[DCreed]

my bad "TERRA" grapplers.

 

[willysrule]

anyone find these in 285/75-16? what kind of price are they running?

 

[DCreed]

my "terra"s are 285/75/16E and were $170 a pop (no pun intended) installed.
you'll find the "DURA"s in a different thread.

I just got a set put on today. $215. 00 mounted and balanced. They are in 285/70/17, so a little bit bigger than the stock 265 tire. I have them inflated to 65psi (max is 80) and they ride incredibly well - significantly better than the OEM BF Goodrich tires that I had before.

They are not as aggressive looking as the Terra Grappler, but they look pretty good anyway, and the ride really is quiet. They have a tread that runs uninterupted all the way around the tire, so they should wear well and be very smooth and quiet.

I also got an additional 600 pounds per tire (from 3140 to 3750) over the stock tires. At a total of 1,200 pounds, that's significant with a big fifth wheel...

3750 lbs rating is great. Post some pics when you get time to take a few.

MS Rated?

I see on their website the wet performance is close to the Terra, does the Dura carry an MS Rating?

 

[Regcabguy]

35" Dura Grappler?

I e-mailed them and asked about the future availability of a 35" tire in this style and they replied that they are considering it.

 

[grabinov]

Funny - that's the first thing I checked, and it DOES have an M&S rating.

 

[Matt400]

It use to be that if the last rib on the outer edge did not have a path for water to exit the sides it was highway only.



Since it has an MS rating I might even consider this one, we need the MS in snow conditions or the highway patrol will make you chain up a 4x4

 

[MA2LA]

well I just ordered a set today from my local 4x4 shop at 200 a pop, I was on the fenc between the stock michilen and these so i hope they do for me, guess i'll find out

Back to the top on this Dura grappler-

Hey MA2LA and grabinov or anyone else that has em. . How are you liking the Nitto Dura Grappler?



I am thinking about the 285's. They look like the tread is tapered so they won't grab small rocks, is that right?

Did you get the traditional or innovative side wall?



I ran the Toyo Open Country for 30K and was happy with traction & noise but they tended to pick up small rocks easily. I also ran the Dick Cepek FCII for 34K and they are more noisy than the Toyo's were but dang, I can't wear em out! They are only 1/2 worn and ridding a little rough. Wet traction I don't think was as good as the Toyo's
