About This Tire

The Nitto Trail Grappler M/T 265/70R17 is an off-road maximum traction tire designed for drivers of trucks, full-size SUVs, and Jeeps who prioritize aggressive off-road capability and versatile terrain handling in their adventures. Its tread design and compound focus on high-void traction patterns with engineered noise reduction for improved on-road comfort.

The tire features thick, symmetrically arranged tread blocks that provide traction in loose or rocky conditions, complemented by reinforced shoulder grooves for additional dirt and mud traction. Nitto's engineers used 3D simulations to address common mud-terrain concerns, creating muted noise levels at street and highway speeds while maintaining the tire's off-road DNA. The all-terrain compound is molded into a high-void pattern designed to handle diverse environments both on and off the pavement.

Compared to all-terrain options, it prioritizes maximum traction in loose and muddy terrain over on-road refinement. Overall, it's a solid choice for dedicated off-road vehicles used primarily for trail adventures and challenging terrain in varied conditions.
