Those new Nitto Trail Grapplers are not going to be any cheaper. They look good though. Not sure about performance since they are a new tire.
this topic has been coming up a lot lately, and as before PRO-COMP rocks!!!


that is all...

Bz
Pro Comp ought to kick down to their official Nor Cal pimp.
YES they should!!!!


Hahahahahahaa!!!
I like the Yokohama Geolander M/Ts but..... they're a soft rubber and I only got 30,000 miles out of them.. boooooooooooooo
The King Of Quiet? Nitto Trail Grappler MT Tire Test
December, 2009

The Bottom Line
The Trail Grappler is among the better of all M/Ts we've tested. In particular, the tire really shined in the areas of on-road ride and comfort, as well as in the noise category. We think they will quickly win over those with high demands for tires and become a mainstay in the full-size pickup truck arena. As we went to print, Nitto had plans to release a plethora of light truck sizes, from 35- to 38-inch diameters, with wheel sizes ranging from 16 to 24 inches. Every Trail Grappler produced will carry an E load rating, which to us, implies that this tire is particularly well-suited for heavier rigs such as the 3/4-ton pickup we tested them on.

The E rated tires I've ran seem to be rough. But I guess it differs from tire to tire.
I think it has to do with the tread pattern I've had really smooth E rated tires but the D rated ones I have now are bumpy at low speeds
My Nitto Terra Grappler 285/75/17 are E rated, and smooth as buttah. I'd agree that roughness/bumpiness (wtf is that a word?) is more about tread pattern than load rating. The E sidewall is stiffer, but it doesn't have to be inflated to it's max 80psi either.
Nitto Trail Graps are heavy.. 35x12.5R18 are 80.91lbs wow my 315/75/16 are 66lbs..
damn, thats a heavy arse tire. heavier than the toyo mt's
I've gotten a bunch of quotes, right now I can get 5-285-65-18 Nitto Trail Grapplers for 1,385 set and balanced
