Nitto Tire 200530

The Nitto Mud Grappler Extreme Terrain tires are designed to provide exceptional off-road traction. The Mud Grappler features monstrous 15mm side-lugs, which provide excellent sidewall puncture resistance along with outstanding rock crawling and mud traction. The computer designed tread pattern features a high void ratio for excellent clearing of mud and dirt, anti-side slip grooves for better lateral traction, and sipes for performance on snow and slush. The Mud Grappler features three-ply, high turn-up polyester sidewalls that provide strength and durability in demanding terrain.

Dual Sidewall Designs:
Each Grappler has two sidewall designs so you can choose how your tires look. On the Trail Grappler one side has stylized lettering with V-shaped buttresses and the other has traditional lettering with flat buttresses. This feature was an engineering feat since even a small weight imbalance can cause unwanted vibrations. Nitto produces exceptionally uniform off-road tires even with different designs.

Tread Block Arrangement:
A common complaint with mud terrain tires is their noise level. Nitto's engineers set out to design an aggressive -- and yet quiet -- off-road tire. Using 3D computer simulation, Nitto's engineers were able to systematically adjust the size, shape and position of the tread blocks. As a result, Nitto produced an off-road tire that is 34% quieter at street speeds and 36% quieter at highway speeds.*

Duability:
The 3-ply sidewall with a high turn-up construction acts as an extra layer of reinforcement to increase puncture resistance.

On-Road Comfort:
Nitto’s proprietary, automated manufacturing system produces extraordinarily uniform tires. This creates a smooth ride on paved roads.

Shoulder Groove:
Reinforced shoulder grooves adds additional off-road and all-season performance without compromising tread block stiffness.

Central Siping:
Deep center sipes decrease hydroplaning and increases traction in wet conditions.

Mud Evacuation:
The balanced void ratio efficiently removes mud and dirt from the tread to provide continuous off-road traction.
