What type of snow conditions: deep, packed, slushy?

Off or on road?

What speed?

Give us some more info.

Do you work for Nitto and get a set early? They weren't released until September.

I don't work for nitto... I wish!! I got them the day they came out... They are not loud at all compared others... I think they ride just like a normal tire at 20mph and above... Slow driving you can feel them pretty good.

I have the Nitto Mud Grappler on both of my jeeps and have to say I out climb everyone in our group in the snow. The tread design actually throws the snow out of the tread where the other brands load up with snow and become bald slicks.

Mud is the same way. With the rock crawling I can drop them down to 8 psi and not cut the 15mm thick sidewalls.

I love my tires!

I have been looking at these as my old MTR's are ready to be replaced soon. Saw them on the EVO jeep in Moab and they look great. I wanted to know how they did in the snow as I spend quite a few months driving in it. I owned some Terra Grapplers on a TJ and on the road they were amazing, but found the trail and snow to be a little lacking (what I would expect from an AT tire). Would you say the compound is closer to the BFG's or the MTR's? I love the MTR's but man those things can cup out if you don't rotate them every 3-5K.

I run Nitto Terra Grapplers and it doesn't matter if its fresh pack or ice, they always seem to get it done! Super happy with them

How are they holding up? I have a friend that has them on his truck, and they drive great, but he doesn't put enough miles on them to see how they hold up.
