LMAO....I see alot of them up here..I think it's more for looks than use...I don't like them either..Goodyear Silent Armors would be a better fit

Wow, not much nitto love here. From what I have seen they are a pretty decent tire. I know lots who run them. The toyo mt's I ran on my jk were fantastic tires.
They were an extremely popular tire a few years ago. They started to get a bad rep in the full-size truck world for wearing quick.
I just could never get over the lightning bolts lol.
Check out the new Toyo AT-II's
I do like the toyo at 2, looks like a great tire. Problem is with my 18" wheels there are not many options when it comes to tires. Most are special order, such as the toyo and the Goodyear silent armour. From what I have seen the grappler lasts about as long as all the other common AT tires. I really don't expect more than 40-50k out of any off road tire. Although I did get 48k out of my toyo mt. I figure the nitto can't be too far off from the toyo since they are both the same company.
I thought the flames would make it look tougher anyway. It's the family cruiser, I just need it to be better than bald Pirelli scorpions on it now.
Do you have a lift? what size tires are you looking at? (I have 18s too)
Nitto tends to use a softer compound than the Toyos. ~40k is what i've seen for the TG's whereas i've personally seen Toyo AT's go well above 60k.
I do have a lift but without new wheels or spacers I can't go too big. Plus, this is the family wagon and won't see much offroad time other than dirt roads we will pull the trailer on. My jk is the trail rig.
Check out the 255/70/18 Hankook Dynapro ATM's (they also have 255/60/18 if that's the size you're eyeing up)
I had these on my wifes Liberty. They're a good looking A/T tire and had great traction. Very affordable as well.
