Nitto Trail Grappler Discussion Thread

[Rccrwlr]

Np, I'd be glad to take some pics underneath if you want. Rear clears the sway bar links and control arms well.

That would be great. I'm running 1.5 spidertrax's now so I should be covered.
Thx

If you drive in the street a lot you might want to consider the 315/70 because they are a lower load rating and smoother on street. Also with the lower rating sidewall they flex easier. That's why I choose them back when I had 35s. My buddy had 35x12.5 and I had the 315/70s. They are essentially the same size tire. Just my 2c

I guess I hadn't thought to compare the if the load ranges were different. I think that settles it then. 315s for me .

I think as long as you get a C or D load range you'll be ok. Just stay away from E's

Oops, I have Es... But, they are a little rough on a two door.

 

[13_gecko_rubi]

My 37s are Es. I miss my old TGS just for that lol

I ran the Toyo MTs in a 37 E load range and I had them down to about 19 pounds still rode rough as crap. That will be my last set of 10ply tires on a JK. NTG'S from here on out.
I had the Goodyear Duratracs in a 315 70 17. They were a really great tire soft, smooth, and pretty quiet.

 

[13_gecko_rubi]

Yup that's what I have now, toyo 37s. I have my coilovers with lighter springs to absorb some of it but still rough as hell

I'm running replacement 255's. They are a major upgrade to the KM2's. They are quiet, are tenacious in snow and after 9k miles they are showing minimal wear. Highly recommended.:yup:

Another here running 35 Nittos on stock rubi wheels and spacers. It's a great setup.

Looked for pics, one I can find on my phone.

Just ordered my 315's nittos today! And the lift was ordered yesterday. My little jeep is growing up so fast!

So I'm in a bit of a predicament, my build should be finished by the end of this month. I originally wanted to go to a 42" tire but not a lot to choose from, so the Nitto Trail Grapplers have had a lot of good reviews but Not Available! An order for 40x13.5x17 has been in to Discount Tire since Oct of last year. I sent a message to Nitto today and the said there is no ETD on that size right now and probably won't be soon! So now what? :doh:

Toyos.

My 37s were Toyo's, they were a good tire but too hard of a rubber compound! But I may have to go back that way?:idontknow:

 

[13_gecko_rubi]

The 37" toyos are e rated as you know. But their 40s are c rated just like the nittos. I'm pretty sure they ate even made in same plant

Sorry this took so long. I've been working from home and ignoring the jeep.

Sorry it's dirty... Prairie City


The hardest part was the spare. I removed the bumper.

Front, just in case you were curious.

You will have a hard time finding Nittos in 40" right now. Or so I've heard. If I couldn't go with Nittos I'd go with the next best thing. :yup:

I did not know that! I will definitely check into it, I think the Nittos are too far out!:icon_crazy:

Thanks for the info 13_gecko_rubi, your right about the Toyo 40s, I will most likely be going with those as they are readily available! :thumb:
