The Nitto Mud Grappler tires receive mixed reviews, with many praising their off-road performance and aggressive appearance, while others note concerns about road noise and wear.
The Nitto Mud Grappler tires are well-regarded for their off-road capabilities and aggressive styling. They perform exceptionally well in muddy and challenging terrains, making them popular among off-road enthusiasts. However, the significant road noise and potential for faster wear may make them less suitable for those primarily driving on highways or seeking a quieter ride. Proper maintenance and rotation can help extend their lifespan, but buyers should be prepared for the trade-off between off-road performance and on-road comfort.
Positive highlights
Excellent off-road performance in mud, sand, snow, and rocks. Aggressive, attractive appearance. Good traction in various conditions. Smooth ride for a mud terrain tire. Long tread life for some users (up to 50,000-75,000 miles with proper maintenance). Strong sidewalls and durability.
Negative highlights
Some users report faster wear than expected. Poor steering in snow due to large tread blocks. Soft compound leading to quicker wear for some. Harsh ride quality noted by a few users.

The Nitto Mud Grappler is a mud-terrain tire designed for use on light trucks, Jeeps, and SUVs and offers drivers enhanced durability plus strong traction and performance off-road.
Features & Benefits
Mud-terrain tread
Black sidewall
High void ratio for good self-cleaning of mud and debris for consistent traction and to protect the casing from damage
Whether it's dirt, rocks, thick mud, sand, or snow, the Nitto Mud Grappler is the tire for the job. The Nitto Mud Grappler features big, blocky lugs that extend from the shoulder down to the sidewall for great lateral traction (handy for clawing out of ruts) and tough 3-ply sidewall construction for aired-down operation over rocks and obstacles. The Mud Grappler is tough, too, with a damage-resistant rubber formulation and high-tensile steel belt package for some of the roughest treatment you can subject it to. With "lizard skin" texture on one side and a plain sidewall on the other, it's easy to customize the aesthetics of your truck with the Nitto Mud grappler.
Yes, the Nitto Mud Grappler is a mud tire. The Mud Grappler is designed with massive side lugs, deep voids and a tough three-ply sidewall for the roughest mud used.
No, the Nitto Mud Grappler has a dual sidewall design. One side features standard sidewall lugs while the other features "lizard skin" texture so you can express your own personal style.
Yes, the sidewall lugs on the Nitto Mud Grappler are good for use in mud terrain. The sidewall lugs on the Mud Grappler boost lateral traction and control in either muddy or rocky conditions.

The Nitto Mud Grappler is proudly made in the USA at Toyo's factory in White, GA.
