As an automotive journalist, I’ve spent well over a decade testing a wide array of parts and vehicles. By a seemingly large margin, tires have been the most common automotive component I have reviewed. Given my specialty rest more in the world of off-road trucks (hence the title Senior Off-Road Editor), I’ve had the opportunity to test an assortment of all-terrains, mud-terrains, and in recent years, hybrid terrain tires.

While I have developed a small list of those I like (and those I avoid), there is one tire that has been a go-to for genuine dual-purpose vehicles over the years- the Nitto Trail Grappler. Since first reviewing the mud-terrain radial nearly a decade ago, my positive experience with that tire both on-road and off has drawn me back to it. From Moab, Utah, and the famed Glamis sand dunes to mud-lined trails in the southeast, I’ve logged tens of thousands of miles on the Trail Grappler all across the United States. Throughout my long run with the tires under an assortment of vehicles, I never experienced a single flat tire or had balancing issues- two huge factors that are always at the forefront of my mind when buying tires.

So, when it was time to get a new set of treads for my 2018 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon, the Trail Grapplers were at the top of my list. Over the past eight months, I have put my 37x12.50R17 Nitto Trail Grapplers to work. In this video, I am breaking down the pros and cons of this modern mud-terrain.
