Mike Melton reviews the Nitto Grappler MT mud tire and argues it's worth the cost over cheap alternatives. Mud tires need rotating every 3,000 miles and are inherently loud, but the Grappler MT ranks among the quietest in its class. He shows mounting and balancing the tires, which require only 2-4 ounces of weight per wheel.
A lot of you guys running them cheap mud tires, you don't understand what quality is. Let's talk about this nitto truck grappler mt. So this is the exact same tire I'm running on my 2500 right now. The reason I'm running these tires, they are the best. Now, as far as quality, how they ride, how long they last. But a lot of you guys always talk about, whoa, oh, my turfs don't last. Listen, they're mud tires. They're not designed to last. They are softer compound rubber. But if you're trying to get these tires last, mud tires, rotate them every 3,000 miles. Now, some people want to know how quiet they are. Now, nitto, this tire is noisy. It's a mud tire, but it is still one of the quietest tires on the market. Some of you guys like them super loud tires. These are. These are pretty quiet for a mud tire. Now we're mounting them on some brand new G29s. So everybody wants to see always how good these things balance out. So let's go ahead and show you. All right, Take the stickers off. These young guys like the stickers. Us old guys, take the damn stickers off. All right. As you see, ain't no weight on this damn wheel. All right, we'll get that thing spinning. Get that roller about to come down. Put that pressure on there outside to finish up. Let's see what we got. Look at that. Only 2 and 3, 4 ounces here. Only an ounce here. 15 pounds of force. That's why you buy quality over quantity. All you guys buying, these radars, these predators, these pine knuckles, whatever you want to call them, stop buying this stuff. Get quality.
