Great looking tires!!

Man, Wayne, I hold your opinion in very high regard, but I really can't agree with you here. Psychos2 (shawn) said that these were cool tires as well, so I popped over to Nitto to check them out.


These are the ugliest tires that I've ever seen. They remind me of the legions of Wal-Mart flamed shirt wearing rednecks that populate every Nascar event -you know, the ones that never miss an episode of Monster Gayrage. These are the guys that have some variant of an iron cross sewn/painted/stuck/stapled on everything they own.
I just can't even bring myself to get into these.

My opinion, but man -those tires are flamin' -and not in a hot way.

God bless America...freedom of speech and diversity of opinion brings a tear to the eye.

Chopper...the 285/60/18 will fit. Ask MSHardeman about the trimming.

Nitto Tire Introduces the New Dune Grappler Desert Terrain Tire

Nitto Tire introduces the new Dune Grappler Desert Terrain tire, an exciting addition to Nitto's popular Grappler series. The Dune Grappler satisfies the enthusiast who wants an aggressive tread for off-road capabilities, while providing a more comfortable and quieter ride on the road. By utilizing advanced computer simulation technology, the tread block arrangement reduces high levels of noise commonly associated with aggressive tires, while still providing a traction-oriented tread for off-road use. The Nitto Dune Grappler will be offered with a three-ply sidewall construction for increased puncture resistance in certain popular sizes.

Features:

• M&S-rated for all season performance
• 3 ply polyester high turn up construction improves bruise and puncture resistance*
• Intermediate void-ratio for optimal performance in loose gravel and sandy terrains
• Flare “taper and bridge” design reduces flex for longer tread life along with better traction and steering on and off road
• Innovative design allows for tread and shoulder integration, ensuring a flatter, wider contact patch optimal for on and off road performance.

Sizes:

LT31X10.50R15 C
LT33X12.50R15 C
LT285/75R16 E
LT305/70R16 E
LT315/75R16 E
LT285/70R17 E
LT315/70R17 D
285/60R18
LT285/65R18 E
LT285/55R20 E
305/40R22

Haha, I love the regular Grapplers, and the Mud Grapplers are ok too, but I will have to agree here with mbeach, these tires scream 'merica redneck...but then again, this is 'merica we are a livin' in...so I'm sure these tires will sell VERY well...

HERE HERE for Freedom of Speech! One of the last American values still standing and fighting for survival in 2006! But I don't want to get political...LOL!

I'm with mbeach as well. Don't like the lettering on the side.

Also, hard to tell from the linked pics, but it looks like they lack any kind of shoulder.

Here is an intresting article on the Dune Grappler.http://truckinweb.com/0606tr_nitto_off_road_racing/

Entertaining tread treatment, but to me something that appears functional rings my bell. I'll stick with my Yokohama Geolandar MT+ gnarliness.



Off-road rubber you can run on an asphalt flat-track? Now that rocks!

[WormGod]

How is this tire on the asphault jungle? Loud on highway I imagine, but intimdating at the same time? Good looking tire and I have a pretty good track record with Yoko so I think I want to stick to them. The VX needs new rubber.
