Nitto Terra Grappler G2 or the Recon Grappler

[BAT]

Anyone running these who can give any feedback. I am 35K in on my Wildpeaks and I don't see them making it to 45K or 50K miles so starting to look at what is going to go on next. Its mostly my DD with some sand and occasional backroad trail. I still have not decided if going to stay at 33 or go to 35.

Looking for something maybe a little quieter than the wildpeaks which were not bad until recently as they have worn down they seem to be getting louder or at least to me but my wife thinks so as well.

Tires will mount of my Rubicon take off rims.

Any info would be helpful

I hated the terra grappler g2s so much I sent them back. They were squirrelly, poor handling and poor riding on my ram. My dad had them on his jk and they were bad enough he won't ever buy a set of "shittos" as he calls them now.

Can't speak for the recon, but I can't imagine they are worse.

Grab some Toyo AT3 35x11.5's and be in that happy size/weight range with good wet weather performance

If you're anywhere near Orlando, you can take mine for a spin. I have the G2s on my Mojave right now.

NItto's have a great reputation, don't base decisions on one comment here! I'm on my 4th set of Falken AT3W's, the 1st set I had were not good, bad wear, cracking etc. Tried them again and they've been fantastic. From time to time any manufacturer could have a less than perfect run

Agreed, I had the g2’s on my f150 and hated them! Same experience as you.

Just added AT3 in 285/75/17 - 34“ in height and quieter than the Kendas I had. Lower weight is a bonus as well.

Not on a Jeep, but the Terra Grappler G2 that I put on my Range Rover Sport were probably the worst tires I've ever had a 4x4. Very low grip in the wet, and they drove like race slicks in the snow and slush.

I have the Terra Grappler G2 (35x11.5) on my Mojave and I haven’t had any bad experiences with them. In my opinion they are much quieter than the stock MT that came on my Mojave and I found them to handle better on the road especially with the summer thunderstorm showers we have here in Savannah. I can also say when I’m out in the woods during deer season or chasing hogs, the G2s have never failed me to get through some sticky mud or the infamous Georgia clay we have down here. I can’t speak on the Toyo AT3s but my friends who have them on their Jeeps seem to love them too and I’ve never heard them being unreliable or poor handling.

The perfect middle ground for ppl who aren't sure about 35's! Had this size on my 2020 Overland, they were great! I'd be running the 35x11.5's if they were available when I was shopping tires, the extra width of my 12.5's does nothing for me.

Thanks for the info will do some research on them as well. Since its mainly daily driver and to haul my kayak around the south texas coast I don't need a really aggressive tire. The wildpeaks were ok but kind of surprised at the wear even with me rotating every 5000 miles. Something quieter and maybe claw back a little MPG would be nice

I'm about 10,000 miles behind you. Think I will be looking at new tires in six months. Let us know what tire you get and what your thoughts are on ride, quality and performance.

I I really like my Terra Grappler G2's 35 X12.5. They are super quiet and have done well on 6 BOH trails. They do get a little slick on pavement in wet weather. My daughter put them on her Wrangler (Same size) and now has 30K miles on them and they are still quiet. My vendor recommends the new Recon Grappler, and I may try those next.

Recon Grapplers are available in 37x11.5!!!!!!!

I'm probably going to ride them for another 5K and then make a switch but just wanted to start getting some ideas especially if happen to see something on sale
