Anyone noticed issues with Nitto Grappler tires over time?

Roughly 9,000 miles on my 35 nitto grapplers. Seem to be a little louder then when they were new and experiencing small vibration at 80mph on highway. Running 30-32 psi all around, wearing even.

All Off road tires with aggressive tread get louder as they wear. I’ve even noticed my stock Falkens are getting louder with only 5000 miles on them.

Nittos are the best tire I have ever run. On my JKU my first set I put 100,000 miles on Terra Grapplers. On my second set I went with the Ridge Grapplers and had 50k on them when I traded. They looked like they would go the distance too. Those were 35s. Check to make sure you haven’t lost a wheel weight if you have a vibration.

Its called "sawtooth tire wear" and is not brand specific. It happens to all tires, and regular rotation usually prevents this from happening. Once rotated, the noise should go away in a 1000 miles or so.

Every tire changes a bit overtime, I’ll admit though I think my grapplers are wearing very well, but generally a very overhyped tire, most specifically with wet traction, snow traction, noise , I’ve had straight MTs that have done all three better....saving grace. They do seem like they’ll be around for a long time.
