Mike Melton tests the Nitto Terra Grappler G3 tire on a weighted roller that applies 1,200 pounds of force to measure road force and weight capacity. The tire passes with green readings, and Melton shows the bead design works correctly despite claims it causes vibration.
You hadn't seen this Nitto G3, you need to look at it. So this is the Terra Grappler G3 by Nitto, one of the absolute best all-terrain tires that's out. So it is an aggressive looking tire, but this thing is quiet as hell. Now you talk about wet traction, dry traction, phenomenal. This thing handles— you want to turn that slum gun to the left real quick or to the right, it's going to go exactly where you put it. So it's got two different sidewalls. Some people ain't aware of that. This is one side. And that's what the other side looks like. So it depends on what you like, which side you go with. All right, now we usually take the damn stickers off, but my guys already took them off. All right, now let's go ahead and bounce this thing out. No cut, no edits. Let's see what this thing's got. So here in just a second, that roller's gonna come down and put 1,200 pounds of force on this tire, simulating it being driven on the vehicle. We'll see how much road force and how much weight this thing's gonna take. Here in a second, it's gonna come off. All right, here we are. Everything zero weight, 25 pounds of force, everything's green. Now let me show you, because I know— look, I ain't cut it, I hadn't had it. There's zero weight on this wheel. For all the guys that are haters saying, oh, you got beads in there, beads don't work, beads will make it vibrate, that's why you get the Nitto G3s.
