The Terra Grappler G3 is Nitto's On-Road All-Terrain tire designed for the drivers of pickup trucks, crossovers and full-size SUVs looking for a tire with on-road stability and comfort infused with the style and DNA of an off-road adventurer. The Terra Grappler G3 blends highway-focused build with traditional all-terrain design for traction in a variety of difficult road conditions, including light snow traction that meets the tire industry's severe snow service rating requirements and earns the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol.
The Terra Grappler G3 features a reformulated all-season, long-life tread compound that's been molded into a symmetric pattern engineered to balance harsh weather capability with on-road comfort and even wear characteristics. A high-void pattern provides an ample supply of biting edges when the action moves off-road, and staggered, optimized tread blocks for continuous comfort on-road. Staggered scalloped shoulders help increase grip in gravel and loose terrain, and work in conjunction with multi-angle, high-density sipes for light snow traction that meets the tire industry's severe snow service requirements.
The internal construction features a robust 2-ply polyester body casing, further reinforced with twin steel belts that are capped with a nylon ply for enhanced high-speed composure and a 2-ply cap for LT-Metric sizes.
As with all Grappler tires, each Terra Grappler G3 tire features two unique sidewall designs. One side is a more traditional block shape while the other features a more aggressive blade style.
Note: While non-winter tires featuring the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol may provide additional longitudinal snow traction beyond what all-season (M+S) tires not bearing the symbol can deliver, they do not match the capability of a true winter tire in all adverse weather conditions.
