Anyone running 38” nitto trail grapplers

[Roky]

I searched the first 20 pages, figured that’s enough do diligence, lol….. 38/13.50/17 is what I’m interested in……..

Anyone that’s running them Id like to know what they measure on the Jeep at 30 ish psi. Do you like them, pros/cons noisy on road or not , etc……….Thanks

@Discount Tire, I looked up Nitto 38/13.50/17 on your website and it says on back order, any idea how long before they’re back in stock ?
Thanks

They’re a great tire, but I need a hair more aggressive tread for this wet bar of soap trails we run on in the rainy season……. We got 3 basic trails here….. red mud/sand mixture in rainy season ( slicker than goose shit) red dirt/sand mixture that’s hard as a rock in the dry season, and sugar sand which is always a bitch, wet or dry…..there’s other types in other locations, but this is what we get where I dwell, lol…..Really impressed with the Nitto brand, so I wanna stick with them if possible…..

I can see MT being better for your trails for sure. I had Nitto MTs on my GMC and they were not that noisy until about the 4th rotation around 20k miles mark. Of course truck was much heavier and they were 12.50s mounted on a 12” wide rim ?

Finally found my thread …

I guess I should’ve posted this in gen pop, can’t believe no one is running, or has run these tires before…….?

Do 37’s count? Just replaced 37” trail grapps that had just over 28k on them. Ran very close to true size when originally mounted. Would still be on the Jeep if the shop hadn’t told me I was good to go after my tierod swap. 1500 miles later and the fronts are completely smoked. Guess thats what happens when the toe is almost 2 inches out. Backs probably still have another 5k worth of tread at min. I’ve ran these at uwharrie, gulches, and some local mud mess and was never disappointed.

Appreciate the feedback, it does help….I’m actually running 37 ridge grapplers. So impressed with them, I wanna keep running nittos. I’m trying to get some feedback on MTs road noise, wear, etc….

I’m gonna put in 4.88s as soon as I can get a few days off work, they been on the shelf for a couple months now….. …. 38s are as tall as I wanna go…… later on I may do tons and 4Ds but that’ll be a while if at all…. The ridge grapplers are only 35-3/4 measured on the jeep, so going to a more true 38 will be a good 1” to 1-1/4” in ground clearance…….
Thanks man…..

I ran mine with stock rubi gears for most of the time I had them, and then probably the last 2k with 5.38’s. I’ve now stepped up to 40’s. Even as worn down as the pics below show they still never started howling and up to the last 500 miles still tracked straight. Since I just redid the tazer for the new tire size I was able to see the original height I had set was 36.62in and that was done by measurement and eventually by adjusting tire height to match gps speed.

Man that sucks about the toe being off……. I do my own alignments even after I installed the long arm kit, and I’m extremely anal about it, lol… I haven’t been on alignment rack in 4 years, lol…. My tires got 21k on them, and I really like the way they’re wearing…….looks like from your pic the trail grap wears good as well……..thanks for pics.

Our pleasure, and no - not this particular size, however this model has been well received since it was launched ?
