Default Nitto tires

Anybody running nitto tires? How are they on the road? How well do they hold up to mileage? How are they off road?

A MT or AT? I ran Nitto Terra Grappler AT's in a 33", great tire for an all terrain! Very high mileage wear, quiet/smooth, awesome in snow, great traction on rocks/trails, mud is a challenge for them. Here's some old pics:

A ton of people run nittos, you'll have to be more specific but even then you'll get a ton of people who run them.

To save you time on searching....people love the trail graps, mud graps are loud, and the terra graps are 'entry level' for nitto.

For better wear, I'd go with the Trail Graps over the Mud grappler's. IMO
