The Nitto Mud Grappler tire is for those of you that have a 1987 all the way up to the
most current year Wrangler that are looking for a really aggressive mud terrain tire.
This is going to come in sizes from a 15 to a 20-inch wheel and tire sizes from 32 all
the way up to 40.
So no matter what size tire and wheel combination you're looking to run, you can get Nitto Mud
Grappler to fit.
Now, this is going to be as I said a pretty aggressive mud terrain tire.
This is going to be more aggressive than the Ridge Grappler and the Trail Grappler that
are also offered by Nitto.
And a mud terrain tire is really for those of you that are gonna be using it in an off-road
situation.
A lot of you will install a tire like this because you like the look of it, but if you're
running mostly on the road, you're not gonna get great wear out of this tire.
You're gonna get some noise out of this tire.
And if you're not taking advantage of all of the off-road benefits, I'd probably steer
you more in the direction of an all-terrain tire.
But if you are taking your Jeep off-road, you want something that's going to work really,
really well for you on the rocks, in the mud, in the dirt, this is going to be it.
A mud terrain tire is going to have some big, aggressive lugs, nice, deep tread with a ton
of space in between them, and the space is there so that you can build up a little bit
of wheel speed and clean out the tire.
If you're running through the mud, this gets completely caked with mud, it ends up being
like a slick, you get no traction, so the big gaps here are to be able to clean out
that tread and get the tooth to the tire back again.
All of the little slices in each of these lugs, that's called siping, that's designed
to allow the tire to flex over obstacles.
So especially when you air this thing down off-road, as you're going over an obstacle,
the tire is really going to conform through the rocks, the roots, the stumps, whatever
you're driving over, giving you maximum amount of traction.
And a mud terrain is also going to have some tread that comes down onto the sidewall of
the tire as well, giving you some additional traction and some additional strength out
of that sidewall.
When you are off-road, you're climbing on rocks at all types of angles, those rocks
can make contact with the sidewall.
Sticks, stumps, other obstacles can come in contact with the sidewall, and you can end
up with a blowout if you don't have enough strength there.
This tire, like most other mud terrains, is going to carry that tread around onto the
sidewall, giving you a lot of strength.
This tire is going to be right around the same price as a lot of the other mud terrains.
You'll find that most of them fall right in the same range.
Now when you are looking at a tire, of course, the bigger the tire, the more expensive the
tire, but also the larger wheel you're looking to mount the tire on, the more expensive the
tire.
So the more expensive versions of this are gonna be the ones designed for a 20-inch wheel.
But, again, they're gonna be right around where a lot of other tires are, give or take
a little bit.
I already went over a lot of the construction of this tire, and a lot of that construction
is very similar to a lot of the other mud terrains that we see, again, big, aggressive
lugs, lots of space so that they can clean out, siping, tread on the sidewall.
This is going to be a three-ply sidewall, that's another thing that will differentiate
one mud terrain tire from another.
If you find a mud terrain tire that's a lot less expensive than a lot of the other ones
that you're finding, that's probably because it has a two-ply sidewall, of course, that's
not going to be as strong, it's not going to offer the same protection as a three-ply
sidewall.
So this is going to have three different layers in the sidewall.
Again, this is just a very well-built tire.
It's going to have all the benefits that you're looking for in a mud terrain, and it's gonna
work really well for you in an off-road situation.
As for the install, of course, you're going to want to take this to a mount and balance
shop.
You're going to want to have them put the tire on your wheel then balance everything
out.
Now, if you are installing a big, say, a 35-inch, 37-inch mud terrain tire, a lot of shops won't
even bother balancing that tire right off the bat, because you're going to throw a lot
of rubber off that tire in the first 500 to 1000 miles.
So some shops, again, won't balance it out at all.
Go drive it for a while and bring it back, and then they'll balance it.
So don't be alarmed if your shop makes that recommendation to you.
Now we've all seen YouTube videos of guys installing tires on wheels themselves at their
house using some sort of explosive essentially, certainly not something that I recommend.
If you have to do it on a trail fix, that's one thing, if you're mounting up a set of
five tires, don't try doing it at home unless, of course, you have a three-piece wheel or
a set of beadlocks that are designed for that type of thing.
These tires are gonna run you anywhere from $290 to $525.
As I said, the bigger the tire, the more expensive, that makes sense.
Also, the bigger the wheel, the more expensive.
That doesn't make quite as much sense to a lot of people.
You figure a big wheel you have less rubber there, but that's just the way it is.
Whether it's supply and demand or manufacturing costs, a tire for a big wheel is going to
be more expensive than a tire for a smaller wheel in most cases.
So depending on the size of the wheel, the size of the tire you're looking for, you're
gonna be anywhere between that 290 and that 525.
So if you're looking for a very aggressive mud terrain tire to be used in an off-road
situation, I would recommend taking a look at this Nitto Mud Grappler, and you can find
it right here at extremeterrain.com.
