Nitto Lt255/75r17/6 Trail Grapler M/t Trail Te

MUD TERRAIN LIGHT TRUCK TIRE The Trail Grappler M/T blends some of the performance of the Mud Grappler with the on-road comfort of the Terra Grappler to create an off-road tire that is both aggressive and quiet. For off-road performance, the 3-ply sidewall and thick rubber construction increase puncture resistance. On the tread surface, the blocks provide additional biting edges that command lateral stability and enhance forward traction. For on-road comfort, Nitto’s engineers used advanced sound analysis equipment to systematically reduce noise levels commonly associated with off-road tires for a quieter drive.

Nitto Trail Grappler MT 255/75R17 111/108Q Tire:

– Dual Sidewall Designs – Each Grappler has two sidewall designs so you can choose how your tires look. On the Trail Grappler one side has stylized lettering with V-shaped buttresses and the other has traditional lettering with flat buttresses. This feature was an engineering feat since even a small weight imbalance can cause unwanted vibrations. Nitto produces exceptionally uniform off-road tires even with different designs. – Tread Block Arrangement – A common complaint with mud terrain tires is their noise level. Nitto’s engineers set out to design an aggressive — and yet quiet — off-road tire. Using 3D computer simulation, Nitto’s engineers were able to systematically adjust the size, shape and position of the tread blocks. As a result, Nitto produced an off-road tire that is 34% quieter at street speeds and 36% quieter at highway speeds (Compared to Nitto Mud Grappler) – Duability – The 3-ply sidewall with a high turn-up construction acts as an extra layer of reinforcement to increase puncture resistance. – On-Road Comfort – Nitto’s proprietary, automated manufacturing system produces extraordinarily uniform tires. This creates a smooth ride on paved roads. – Shoulder Groove – Reinforced shoulder grooves adds additional off-road and all-season performance without compromising tread block stiffness. – Central Siping – Deep center sipes decrease hydroplaning and increases traction in wet conditions. – Mud Evacuation – The balanced void ratio efficiently removes mud and dirt from the tread to provide continuous off-road traction.
