I have around 7k on mine and they still look great. They do show some wear, but not much, esp considering they are an MT. I am also an aggressive driver so that can not help help treadlife. I am very pleased with these tires and unless something about them change I would buy again.

Well of course you know i love my ATZ's. 16k and still look new. I am highly impressed on/off road. BUT the nittos are a couple hundred cheaper and i think they look bada** lol. i think that will be my next set as well.

Not to thread jack, but, what pressure is everyone running in the Trail Grapps?

any hydroplanning? mileage your getting?

How do the trail grapplers handle on the road when its wet? I'm looking at putting 295/70R18's on my truck in the next month or so... how did the 70lb-ish weight of the tire hurt your mileage?

I, too, have about 12,000 miles on mine. I would take a guess and say that I may have lost about 20% tread. They seem to be wearing very well, IMO. They ride smooth with 38 psi. (35x12.5x18) There is a little hum to them when you get up around 70 + mph. But it is a M/T, and the noise isn't that bad. I believe they are comparable (noise wise) to the only other set of M/Ts I have ever had, the GoodYear MT/Rs. They only complaint I have is the weight of the suckers (81 lbs ea.). That is about 10 lbs. heavier than a BFG Km2. BUT they are also almost .5 inch taller. My 35's are actually listed at 35.4 (or somewhere around there) and KM2s are like 34.8. If I didn't have my Gryphon, I probably would not be running these tires, because of power and mpgs. But with the Gryphon I have PLENTY of power and get about 14.5 mpg. All in all I think it is an awesome tire all around, and probably the best bang for your buck.

I thought that the trail grapplers just came out last year.

Nitto Tire Releases New Off-Road Tire: Trail Grappler M/T

July 1, 2009

Nitto Tire U.S.A., Inc., announces the release of its new off-road tire, the Trail Grappler M/T. The tire blends some of the off-road performance of the Mud Grappler with the on-road comfort of the Terra Grappler, to create a tire that is both aggressive and quiet.
