This is one hell of a tire. So this right here is a nitto exo grappler. So if you go down a lot of gravel roads, dirt roads, oil fields, stuff like that, this is definitely going to be a tire you want to get. Now reason this thing's so good on gravel roads, dirt roads, they're chip resistant. So that means you ain't got to worry about them wearing down too fast or getting chunks taken out of the rubber. Now for the guys that are in, you know, harsh climates where it's snowing real bad, stuff like that, these things are studdable. Not only that, these things are three peak mountain snow rating. A lot of people are getting 60,000 miles plus out of these tires. They're loving them just like all the other nittos. They got two different sidewalls. Let me show you. All right, here's the first sidewall. Pretty aggressive looking. All right, here's the other one. Not as aggressive. I like the other side better. So throughout the tread blocks you got a lot of stone ejectors too. All right, for balance them out. What the hell we got to do? We got to take that damn sticker off, son. All right, you see, we got all the weight off this thing. All right, we got that thing rolling, got that roller on. All right, roller's coming off. Where we at? We had only 18 pounds of force and we got a four and a quarter weight and we had the stat bouncer because of how this wheel is designed. Now if you in oil fields and you always driving on gravel roads, I definitely recommend this tire if you out in really, really harsh condition, snow and stuff like that, definitely get this tire cuz it is studable for the ice and stuff.
