The Recon Grappler A/T is Nitto's Off-Road All-Terrain tire developed for drivers of SUVs, Jeeps, and pickup trucks looking for capable off-road performance with a dramatic appearance that maintains its on-road manners and stability. Built to "keep you out in front", the Recon Grappler A/T utilizes aggressive off-road elements combined with on-road features to provide grip and predictability in year-round conditions, including light snow.

Wrangler Steadfast HT callouts

The robust, all-season compound is molded into a symmetric pattern with large tread bocks across the face and aggressive shoulder elements built to resist cuts and chips from sharp off-road surfaces. Reinforced block foundations at the base of the tread help support the pattern, adding rigidity and mitigating deformation in high-load applications for confident dry road handling. Specially engineered wide and narrow grooves are designed to limit airborne noise for enhanced sound comfort on pavement. Zig-zag main and shoulder grooves provide ample water evacuation for hydroplaning resistance as well as adding lateral and offset biting edges to boost light snow traction.

Internal construction of the Recon Grappler A/T features a two-ply reinforced polyester casing for durability and ride comfort. Two high-tensile steel belts offer a sturdy foundation for even load distribution across the footprint. Two nylon reinforcement plies further stabilize the tread for high-speed handling and durability.

As with all Grappler tires, each Recon Grappler A/T tire features two unique sidewall designs. One side is Square Block while the other features a Jagged Block design.

...Tread wear is good...

I have same tires on my Ram 2500 different size of course. It is surprising they get better traction in snow than they do in rain. My girlfriend borrowed my truck and commented on the quality of the wet traction. The Jeep is a 2 door short wheel base so the back end does break loose easy. But I like the tread design. Tread wear is good. Off road I have not had any problems, predictable and haven't been stuck yet. But there is some common sense driving involved.
