πŸ’‘ Is the Nitto Trail Grappler M/T 315/70R17 a Good Tire?

The Nitto Trail Grappler M/T 315/70R17 is an all-season mud-terrain tire designed for full-size SUVs and light trucks.

Rated 3.5/5 by TirePath editors, it excels in challenging off-road conditions but sacrifices on-road refinement and fuel economy compared to all-terrain alternatives.
