Got to try the nitto terra grapplers in snow today
Well the new nittos had a snow try out today and they are the best tires I ever driven with in the winter weather, 4x4 wasn't needed at all and on the way home from work two deer ran out in front of me and I had to slam on the brakes and the roads were horrible. Truck stopped on a dime. I was impressed. Along with a great, quiet ride and great handling I'd reccommend these to anyone

Thats why I figured I'd post results. Cause I know lots of people want to know how these do in winter weather. You'll like them alot. Just make sure not to get p rated as the d/e ranges are much nicer from my experience with these tires.

I am debating on getting the toyo mt 285/75/18 that you had before and how tdo they compare to the nitto's. I like the toyo mt but I have seen the nittos in person and they look good to. I am just wanting a nice aggressive looking tire that performs good in the snow too.

EXCEPT one major down fall with them... they are extremely heavy tires compared to other makes. Because of that my truck got alot less mpg with them, i had clunking issues when going in and out of 4x4 while driving, when the tranny shifted into overdrive it had a hard time chugging along and made a clanky type sound. Two years with these issues. I have had wo different sets of tires since and that all went away. I could easily tell they were to much for the truck.. Maybe it was just a size thing, but I believe it was the weight. They were 75lbs a piece, which is 25lbs more then the nittos and procomps mud terrains I have. Other then that I loved them.
Plus I got a 2009 chevy 1500 ltz z71 plow truck at work and I was in it all day and don't like it too well. The only thing nice about it is I can monitor the trans, rear end etc while plowing. The chevy is nice, but compared to the f-150 I really don't get how anyone would by it for personal use..
I may get out on the sled tomorrow, we'll see if it sticks. Its raining now...
