Nitto Dune Grapplers?
 
I am looking for anyone's opinion on these. The tread pattern is pretty cool, but as I understand it, they are best left for off road use only, preferably in sand and light dirt.

I've heard they make a lot of noise on hwy's and are not good for stopping on dry or wet pavement.

Anyone?

DangerousDuramax has these tires on his truck.

I wanted them for my truck but when I bought my tires they were not out in 35x12.50x20's yet.:booo:

I don't know who that is. Does he like them? Does he drive on pavement with them?

to me they seem to have to soft a rubber to make them good street tires

One of our customers has them on his truck and likes them, they seem to wear fast, but what tires don't behind a 550 hp dmax. They are good enough to cut 1.7 60' times and still have the load capacity for a HD truck. The one thing I don't like is that they have no siping at all, so they wouldn't be perfect tires for all seasons in my opinion.

Now we're getting somewhere!:U: I need all season grip, but I just can't imagine this beast getting low traction in winter and rain just from it's sheer weight -- no matter WHAT tires are on it. As you can tell I am really sold on those tires and if they're soft, like you say, I don't care as much how long they last. Maybe they're being soft will make them a little quieter?

This is a great site for sure!! Great information!:U::c:

I have Terra Grapplers on my truck and cut 1.7 60' times too and they seem to work in all seasons... I have 32K on mine right now and will probably make it to 45-50k before changing them and I am not easy on my truck either.

This is good information!:U: I would be happy to see 40-50K miles on any set of tires. It rains sometimes in NV. How are they then?:humm:
