Nitto Nomad Grappler 225/75R16 XL 108T On-Road All-Terrain Tire 261170
💡 Is the Nitto Nomad Grappler 225/75R16 a Good Tire?
The Nitto Nomad Grappler 225/75R16 is an all-season all-terrain tire designed for mid-size SUVs and light trucks. It delivers solid dry traction and capable wet performance through its aggressive tread blocks and siping technology that balances on-road comfort with off-road capability. Ride comfort is moderate with noticeable road noise at highway speeds typical of all-terrain designs, while tread life is competitive for occasional trail use. Rated Excellent by TireRack based on 165 consumer surveys, it handles light off-road conditions well but lacks the dedicated winter traction of specialized snow tires. Currently priced from $158, it is available through major online tire retailers.
Check availability & current price →About This Tire
The Nitto Nomad Grappler 225/75R16 is an all-season tire designed for CUV, SUV, Jeep, and pickup truck drivers who prioritize versatile performance and comfortable on-road driving with light off-road capability. Its tread design and compound focus on balanced traction across dry, wet, and loose surface conditions while maintaining enhanced on-road comfort.
The tire features a symmetric tread pattern with interlocking tread blocks that have tapered edges for improved bite and dry grip. Variable pitch tread blocks of different sizes work to reduce road noise, while two wide, staggered circumferential grooves channel water to lateral notches for hydroplaning resistance. Triangular sipes within the tread blocks generate additional traction on wet and icy surfaces, and the tire carries the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) certification for severe snow service. Driver feedback points to excellent wet and dry performance with strong comfort characteristics and good long-term durability.
Compared to highway-focused tires, it adds off-road traction while maintaining reasonable on-road manners. Overall, it's a solid choice for SUVs and trucks used primarily for daily driving and weekend adventures in varied conditions.
