Default nitto mud grapplers

Hi I'm looking into buying my first set and wanted to get opinions on how the nitro mud grapplers wear down, most people say the bfgs wear down like iron but I haven't heard much on these. Thanks For any info

It's one or the other, Some people love em and some hate em. I'm going to buy these tires some time next year. I've heard they get about 40,000 miles or so before they are trashed. Also heard there's ALOT of noise(personally I like the noise) so turn up the radio. Just don't expect much life out of the nittos.

Thanks I'm digging the aggressive tread pattern and wouldn't mind the noise either just want to make sure I don't have to replace to quick. Thanks again for the input

They are loud and wear faster than many tires due to soft rubber compound. They look good though. There are better tires for the money imo

It seems around Tennessee everybody has them.. But like everybody else has said, they wear fast! Try looking at these tires.

Loud, but like you said turn the radio up haha


as far as wear, i bought mine in the spring of '10 and took them off for winter and put them back on this spring, i've put about 35000-40000kms on them. they have lost maybe 1/8th tread. and most of my driving is highway and gravel so, unless your doing burnouts (jk's dont do that haha) they will last you awhile

Correct me if I'm wrong. By my math these tires are going to last about 175000 miles. That's pretty good

Loud is a given, my current IROKS don't make as much noise. My biggest issue is the limited load rating for the larger wheel and tire combo. 35s on 17" wheels were only available in Load Range E. Just too stiff for a JK. They wore great, there was some chunking but I spend most of my time in the rocks.

I don't DD the JK anymore so I switched to the IROK Bias to help survive the rocks.

After driving with mine I was surprised at how they were not as loud as I expected. No clue on wear since mine only have 2500 on them but as for sound, There are not too bad IMO.
