I drove the Nitto Terra Grapplers for over 45K miles.....still had another 10 left on them. They were super for on road driving, excellent in rain and snow. They ride real nice and smooth. The only downside to them is if you like mud.....there they suck. So for my new tires I went with Goodyear MT/R Kevlars....
If I were not looking for something better offroad I would have replaced the Nittos with the same.....it was a great tire. They will smoke the BFG's when it comes to driving them in rain and snow.

they road very harshly for an A/T, and I feared for my life everytime it rained. I think the combo of the boxy, flat tire shape and the tread pattern made it like a flat rock skipping across puddles. I hydroplaned more with those tires than any I have ever owned. I thought the tire looked great though. That is why I bought them. Plus Nitto has a good name. I payed like 300 a tire for those things and sold them for $400 like 10 months later. I tried to sell them like 3-4 months after buying them, but I didn't try real hard.
I have had BFG A/Ts in the past, and they were amazing tires IMO. I have the Nitto Mud Grappler now, and they are loud, but great tires. Almost no weights to balance them, none of the hydroplaning issues, and somehow this 10ply mud terrain rides softer than that A/T???
Good luck!!!

I loved them and could not get them to hydroplane, they rode smooth and handled awsome. They were the best "road" tire I have ever used on a truck of any kind.....Maybe your pressure was much higher than mine or something....that is just strange.

Soo strange that you and I have such different opinions on the Terras...
