On the Trail Grappler one side has stylized lettering with V-shaped sidewall lugs and the other has traditional lettering with flat buttressesA common complaint with mud terrain tires is their noise level. Nitto's engineers set out to design an aggressive -- and yet quiet -- off-road tire. Using 3D computer simulation, Nitto's engineers were able to systematically adjust the size, shape and position of the tread blocks. As a result, Nitto produced an off-road tire that is 34 per cent quieter at street speeds and 36 per cent quieter at highway speeds, compared to Nitto Mud GrapplerThe 3-ply sidewall with a high turn-up construction acts as an extra layer of reinforcement to increase puncture resistance.Nitto's proprietary, automated manufacturing system produces extraordinarily uniform tires. This creates a smooth ride on paved roads.Reinforced shoulder grooves adds additional off-road and all-season performance without compromising tread block stiffness.Deep center sipes decrease hydroplaning and increases traction in wet conditions.The balanced void ratio efficiently removes mud and dirt from the tread to provide continuous off-road traction. |
