Very satisfied!
I got the tires right before winter and I haven't had any issues. No sounds coming from them going down the road which is something I expect from tires.

Tires look tuff, good highway/light offroad
The tires look aggressive on the vehicle, makes your smaller SUV look tuff. Slightly more noise than a passenger tire. Overall a great highway, light offroad tire!

Rides great! Looks even better, if that's possible
We wanted a more aggressive look on our Crosstrek without sacrificing highway performance, comfort, and noise. We nailed it with this tire. We've only driven 2,000 miles so far on them on far, but they ride great and look amazing! Highly recommended!!

Jeep Cherokee 2016 Trailhawk

The perfect tire for a Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk
In North Dakota, all four seasons exist, but the frigid winters are what we prepare for. We installed the Nomads on the trailhawk and couldn't be happier with the choice of tires. They have deep lugs, but they are not loud while driving. With the snow and ice, so far so good. The fuel mileage has not changed at all, the little jeep is still getting the same. Now it is tough to judge the fuel mileage in the winter with more than usual idle hours warming up a vehicle.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THESE TIRES TO ANYONE WHO IS SERIOUS ABOUT THEIR TIRES!
An all-terrain tire, Nitto's Nomad Grappler is designed for use on CUVs and SUVs and offers drivers strong traction plus balanced performance on- and off-road plus a 60,000 mile limited manufacturer tread life warranty.
Features & Benefits
All-terrain tread
Black sidewall
60,000 mile limited manufacturer tread life warranty
Three Peak Mountain Snowflake certified for use in moderate to severe winter weather conditions
Dual sidewall design that allows drivers to select the look that's right for their ride
Built with a double shoulder edge that reduces uneven wear for a longer tread life
Drivers of CUVs and SUVs are now taking their rides off-road, so they need a tire that's durable enough to perform in tough conditions while also being optimized for a smaller vehicle. Check out the Nitto Nomad Grappler, which features triangular shaped sipes that bite into the road for strong traction on any terrain. Staggered sidewall lugs further boost off-road grip, and the Nomad Grappler's reinforced circumferential stepped grooves forces mud, dirt, rocks, stones, water, slush, and other debris out of the tread for consistent traction and to protect the casing from damage. Wide circumferential zigzag grooves drain water from the tread to reduce the risk of hydroplaning on wet roads, and the Nomad Grappler's tapered blocks keep the tire rigid to increase traction on dry roads. The Nomad Grappler utilizes a special rubber compound that allows for strong grip year-round plus shorter stopping distances, and the tire's variable pitch tread pattern minimizes road noises and vibrations to create a quiet, comfortable ride for drivers and passengers.
