They are a bit noisy, especially compared to regular tires, but I got used to it! The performance makes it worth it for off-road adventures.
If I wanted silence, I’d drive a sedan, right? Off-road capability is my priority. How do they handle mud?
They do awesome in mud! Just make sure to keep the speed up to clear the tread. These tires were made for adventure!
I’ve had the Nitto Trail Grapplers on my Silverado for about a year now. The noise levels are noticeable, but not unbearable. They provide great traction off-road, but on the highway, the hum can get a bit loud. Overall, I find them comfortable for daily driving.
I agree! The noise is definitely there, especially at highway speeds, but I’ve gotten used to it. The ride quality is decent, and I feel safe during bad weather.
Just installed them last week! The noise range is what I expected from an MT tire. It doesn’t bother me much, and honestly, I love the aggressive look they give my truck. Personally, I think the performance off-road far outweighs the noise.
That’s true! They’re mud-terrains, after all. Just curious though, how do they handle in the rain? I’ve heard mixed reviews.
In the rain, the Nittos can slip a bit if you’re not careful, especially on corners. It’s best to drive more cautiously. Overall, ride quality is decent on smooth roads but can be rough on bumpy terrains. I’m happy with my choice.
That’s what I’ve experienced too! I sometimes think if they were a bit quiter, they’d be perfect. Which is better for highway versus off-road?
For highway driving, a hybrid tire might give you a quieter ride, while the Trail Grapplers excel in off-road conditions. They shine in mud and loose gravel. Just be prepared for the noise when you hit the pavement.
Honestly, I’m thinking about getting these tires too. Everyone seems to love them, but I’m worried about tire wear and impact on gas mileage. Anyone have experiences regarding that?
Great question! They do wear quicker than some all-terrains, but the grip is worth it. As for gas mileage, it may drop a bit, so consider that in your decision.
I can’t help but laugh; I’m guessing anyone who says these tires are quiet must be living in a luxury bubble. The noise level is enough to wake the neighbors! But hey, who doesn’t love the roar of a beastly truck?
