I’m literally switching to the Trail Grapplers from the Mud Grappler this week. 315/75/R16 Mud Grappler was 80lbs. Trail Grappler is 82lbs in the same size. I’m in SoCal and wheel and off-road out west and rarely encounter very muddy and wet trail conditions. I’ll miss the look of the Mid Grapplers. I enjoyed the noise but won’t miss it.
I thought I liked a little tire hum. I was wrong😂The Mud Grappler is like a Cessna landing next to you at all times. I made it about 5000 miles before I tapped out.
I was told you don’t want the tire cleaning out of snow instead you want tires that pack and hold snow because snow holds onto snow better than rubber on snow. Thoughts?
I really like the trail grapplers we have on our LJ but central Texas granite just eats up all tire treads. I average 2 years and probably only 2k miles per set on any of the brands I have used.
They’re terrible lol they slide all over snow and ice; a dedicated snow tire is the way to go. They are however decent in super deep snow on trails when aired down to nothing. But if asphalt or concrete is involved these are not the way
Depends on the size, load range, and how heavy the Jeep is. I typically run between 28 and 35 PSI on my four-door Wranglers. If you have a TJ, you can go lower.
If you want a really light Nitto, look at the Recon Grappler A/T. It's about 10 pounds lighter per tire when compared to the same size mud terrain. The weight is often a result of carcass strength. For an extra 5-8 pounds per tire, I'd much rather have the dependability.
@@DrivingLine true. Just comparing nitto to other brands they weigh more. Significantly more. Comparing km3 to the trail grappler in 35 12.5 17 is a 6lb per tire weight. Both E rated
I would say the Trail Grappler is probably a little better in that department. Both of these tires have really wide spacing between the lugs, so you really don’t pick up that much small gravel.

True
To a point when snow gets really slushy it can help to fling that stuff
The mud grappler is great if you don't want to hear other people. Trust me their voice will give out long before the tires.
Perfect for the wife or GF that likes to hear herself talk🤣

That's wild! I know Katemcy has Moab-like traction that can be hard on tires for sure.
Mud Grapplers are terrific winter tires eh
!
Good to know, EH!

Do you do the voice for Exploring North Carolina? 😮
Are nitto ridge grapplers as quiet as the trail grapplers?
The Ridge Grappler makes less noise than the Trail in my experience.
I have the ridge grapplers on my titan and I don't have any noise.
i just baught some trail grapplers i got 285/75/17 whats the ideal air pressure on road daily driving 36 psi.??
Really depends on your vehicle's weight, try doing a chalk test and that will guide you
How would you compare the Mickey Thompson Baja boss mt?
I don't have any experience with that tire.
@Driving Line👍
👍
What air pressure would you run the trail grappler on 2 door Jeep Wrangler on highway.
Depends on the size, load range, and how heavy the Jeep is. I typically run between 28 and 35 PSI on my four-door Wranglers. If you have a TJ, you can go lower.
I wish nitto could lighten their tires up more.

Lighter tires don't hold up off road as well. I like them how they are for puncture resistance
Went to carova Beach with my ram and deff don't recommend mud graps for what it's worth
the mud grapp is 100% obnoxiously loud….in a good way!
Witch tire picks up less rocks on gravel roads

400 a tire......no!
