Nitto Terra vs Nitto Dune
Looking for input on these 2 tires. Dunes are a bit more $$ but have a mildly aggressive look. This is my DD so I will be mostly highway driving and only off-road will be in beach sand.

I had a set of tera grapplers on my last rig I love them. I had them for 2 years and 25K miles and they looked like New. They were great for sand. They were not great for mud.. they got clogged up quick. They were super quiet on the road and had really good road manners. Just my 2 cents

Either tire will work for the sand, but as far as a DD tire goes (one that will work in the rain), it's the terra hands down. The dune has zero siping and no water evacuation pathways.

I drive 40 miles a day mostly highway and I love my terra grpplers. All of my off roading is on the beach. As long as you air down to 15-20 psi they will never let you down. I see all 4 seasons and they are great in the snow too.

I ran a set of 295/70/17 Terra Grapplers awhile back. I couldn't have been happier with them as an A/T tire. Tread life was very long, quiet, awesome in snow, great on trails and rocks, mud was the only down fall to the Terra Grappler. If I go with an A/T tire again, these will be them. Nice nice tires
