nitto trail grappler in rain

I am looking at either the Terra or Trail grappler. I really want the trail grappler, but im worried about the traction on the road with rain. If anyone can let me know how the tires handle in the rain, that would be great. Thank you.

I have 35" trail graps and they seem fine in the rain. I am in San Diego so it doesnt rain to much but the few times it has I havent had any problems. Maybe logon to tirerack.com and check their reviews on the tire. They always rate wet and dry traction. There should be user reviews also.

i have the trails and they do fine in the rain. As long as you dont drive like an idiot, you will be fine. It is easy to break them loose and get them spinning from a dead stop, you have to feather the throttle a little.

^x3. I've had mine in some pretty rough storms and I've had no issues. I don't have to feather the throttle either. I just accelerate like normal. Of course I don't act like I'm trying to launch at a drag strip.

well since i have a programmer, getting the tires spinning when the ground is wet is very easy.

I bet when your transmission shifts your tires break loose too.

Make sure to post some pictures when you're done. I don't think you'll be disappointed with the Trails.
