Great write up. The tires look great. I just purchased 37's Nitto Trail Grapper's from Discount Tire Direct and they came in three days. I'm getting them mounted on Friday. I'm going from 33's to 37's. I've recently regard also to 4.88, so I'm excited to see the new look.

Drove 100 miles in a downpour last nigh with no signs of hydroplaning at 70 mph.
Wet road traction is really good.

I have gone out twice now with my 35-RT's.
The grip is good. They do tend to cake a bit in the deep mud but they do clear well with good wheel speed.
Wet rocks they stick like glue, on road as well, can't say enough good things about the wet performance.
Where I wheel most is a good mix of all type of wheelin EXCEPT large rock Krawlin...
The side walls take hits really well, took a nasty sharp rock straight into side wall that left a good rash mark on rim but it slid right off the sidewalk without issue or tear. It was a lot like on of those drive through curb moments...you hit just hard enough to make the whole jeep jump lol..
I have 35x12.5x17 E rated

Thanks man. It's gettin there.
The tires are awesome, really have no complaints at all.
Really quiet
Great wet performance
Balanced easily with very little weight
Sidewalls are good and flexy but strong
Track really well at highway speeds
Great all rounder
I will say again, mud seems to cake on them but increasing wheel speed just a bit more than I'm used to and they clear out pretty well. I don't have any issue traction wise in the mud though, perhaps this is just how it looks on the tire and I'm imagining things....
I'm coming off of the GY MTRK's which cleared mud really really well, but the balancing issues were too much for me to take.

Well we had a wet weekend at Rausch almost 4" of rain in total. With all of the slop, sand, mud and wet rock the Toyo R/Ts performed superbly. I did not notice any trail performance compromise when compared to my Nittos from the last time I was at Rausch on the nitto 35s. I was the only non-nitto trial grappler rig in the group and nothing appeared to be a challenge for the R/Ts.
The next best thing about the R/Ts (besides the excellent trail performance) was that their road manners on the 3 hr drive to and from Rausch were just as good. Extremely low road noise (almost no hum) and zero hydroplaning at 70-75 MPH on rain drenched highways.

Awesome follow up!! I am seriously considering these tires for my next purchase
I like that they come in a 37!
If Goodyear would ever wise up and make a Duratrac in a 37 I would be awesome but it seems only Nitto and Toyo are listening to what a weekend warrior wants in a tire.

Nice write up! :clap2: I may also have found my next tire. Pretty sweet pricing on these too it was 344 a tire for 37 x 13.5 r17.

I'm have a internal battle with myself between the mud grap and trail grap for my next tire! ! But the rt looks like such a awesome tire!! I'm just worried it won't be "hardcore" enough for the big obstacles and rocks. I'm running the mud grappler now and love how it grabs off-road.

I really like the mud grapplers but worry about the performance in the snow and rain/water

How loud are the tires on the highway so far? I was close to buying a set but ended up going with Nitto Terra Grapplers
