Exclamation New Nittos, Not Sure....

Ok, so today I am having 295/75.16 Nitto Terra Grapplers Installed on my truck, I still have time for the kill switch, or the go for it. I was just curious if you guys had any input on this compared to my current BFG's. The BFGs did not wear as well as was expected, but other issues came into play as well ( Such as the previous owner running the right front tire against a curb for 400 feet.)

The way I looked at it, the Nitto seems to be a more streetable tire Vs. The BFGs I have, and I am not an off-roader, just the driveway when it rains.... All in all, you input is always appreciated!

Thanks CJ

I know three people running the Grapplers, one F250, one 1500 Silverado and one 2500 CTD. All three guys love them!!!

I've been running the Nitto's for coming up on 2 years in January - been very happy with them so far.

I have 10k or so on my Nitto Grapplers so far, seem to be wearing just fine. A little feathering up in the front since I am lazy about rotating them and need new shocks, but oh well

The same tires you're considering were on my truck when I bought it. They have about 1/2 tread left and they are worn very evenly. I like the ride, and they are pretty quiet too. Can't speak of longevity yet.

well they are on and they are pretty good so far, they ride a lot better than the 200 dollar BFGs that were on it before. So I really like them. I let my friend drive to lunch today and they have such a good grip on the road, he drives about the same as me, just takes turns a lot sharper, but they grip insanely well. Just thought I would put in the rest of my .02 lol Thanks for the input guys!

I'm running them on mine and have almost 40k on them. They've been a great tire.
