The Nomad Grappler is Nitto's On-Road All-Terrain tire developed for drivers of CUVs, SUVs, Jeeps, and pickup trucks seeking a versatile, stylish and comfortable on-road tire, also capable of light off-road duty. Engineered for traction in dry, wet, and loose surface conditions, the Nomad Grappler also provides light snow traction sufficient to earn the tire industry's severe snow service certification and three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol.
The Nomad Grappler's all-season compound is molded into a symmetric tread pattern and a broad contact patch featuring interlocking tread blocks with tapered edges for additional bite and effective dry grip. Variable pitch tread blocks of slightly different sizes reduce road noise for enhanced on-road comfort. Two wide, staggered circumferential grooves efficiently evacuate water to lateral notches for hydroplaning resistance in wet weather. Triangular sipes within the tread blocks generate traction on wet and icy roads and assist light snow traction.
Internal Construction of the Nomad Grappler consists of a two-ply polyester casing engineered to provide comfort and reliability. Twin steel belts are wrapped with a single, nylon reinforcement ply for durability and high-speed capability.
As with all Grappler tires, each tire features two unique sidewall designs. One side resembles a mountain range, while the other is designed after a carabiner.
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.
El neumático Nomad Grappler de Nitto pertenece a la categoría: Dentro De Carretera Todoterreno y fue desarrollado para conductores de utiliautos (crossovers), vehículos utilitarios deportivos (SUV, por sus siglas en inglés), Jeeps y picops, que buscan un neumático versátil, estilizado y confortable sobre carreteras pavimentadas, pero al mismo tiempo, capaz de trabajo todoterreno liviano. Construido para obtener tracción en condiciones secas, mojadas o superficies flojas, el Nomad Grappler, también proporciona suficiente tracción sobre superficies con poca nieve, para obtener la certificación de la industria en cuanto a nieve severa: el ímbolo “tres picos montaña/copo de nieve”, 3PMSF (three-peak mountain snowflake symbol, 3PMSF).
El compuesto de caucho para toda estación del Nomad Grappler se encuentra moldeado en una banda de rodadura con patrón simétrico y un área amplia de contacto con la carretera que posee bloques entrelazados, con bordes cónicos, para proporcionar una mordida adicional y tracción efectiva sobre superficies secas. Bloques en la huella con tonos variables y tamaños levemente diferentes, reducen el ruido para aumentar la comodidad sobre carreteras. Dos canales circunferenciales anchos y escalonados evacuan el agua eficientemente a las ranuras laterales para resistir el deslizamiento sobre agua (hydroplaning) sobre superficies mojadas. Pequeñas ranuras triangulares en los bloques generan tracción sobre carreteras mojadas y con hielo, al igual de asistir en la tracción sobre superficies con poca nieve.
La construcción interna del Nomad Grappler consiste de una estructura de dos capas de poliéster que proporcionan comodidad y confianza. Correas gemelas de acero envueltas en una capa de nailon de refuerzo, aumentan la durabilidad y capacidad para conducir a velocidades rápidas.
Como todos los neumáticos Grappler, cada flanco posee un diseño único. Uno asemeja una cadena montañosa y el otro un candado de montaña.
Nota: Mientras que los neumáticos que no son para uso exclusivo de invierno, pero cuentan con el símbolo tres picos montaña/copo de nieve, 3PMSF (three-peak mountain snowflake, 3PMSF) podráan proporcionan mayor tracción longitudinal en nieve, que la ofrecida por neumáticos para toda estación (M+S) sin el símbolo 3PMSF; ninguno iguala la capacidad de un neumático para uso exclusivo en el invierno, en climas con condiciones adversas.

The Nitto Nomad Grappler is a new contender in the On-Road All-Terrain tire arena, so our team put it up against a couple of category benchmarks to see how it performed.
Our evaluation used 2022 Ford Explorer ST test vehicles fitted with new, full tread depth 255/65R18 tires mounted on 18x8.0 wheels.
Customers think the Nitto Nomad Grappler delivers excellent dry traction (frequent 9-10 scores) and strong wet performance, with many ratings in the 8-10 range for hydroplaning resistance. Winter traction shows variability, with most scores 7-10 but occasional dips in ice performance. Ride comfort earns consistent praise (7-10 range), though some note moderate road noise. Treadwear receives overwhelmingly positive feedback, with numerous perfect scores highlighting durability. As an On-Road All-Terrain tire, it excels in rugged conditions while maintaining highway manners, though a few users report slightly reduced confidence in extreme winter scenarios compared to its dry/wet capabilities.

...Excellent wet, ice, and snow handling, never got stuck or encountered any difficulties during the past winter...
The Nitto Nomad Grapplers matches very well with Honda’s i-VTM4 AWD system. These AT tires were specifically chosen for their light weight to aid with unsprung weight. I would consider the tires to be mild or not as aggressive compared to other AT tires which is not a bad thing since comfort was a priority when choosing tires for the vehicle. I don’t have a decibel meter to measure the difference in noise; very negligible in my experience, but tire noise is subjective so my observation will not be the same as others. Excellent wet, ice, and snow handling, never got stuck or encountered any difficulties during the past winter. Tires were priced appropriately and made in the USA is a plus. Will buy again when the time comes.

After 10k miles the tires became louder but still manageable. Handled all seasons well. Wear was on par with all season tires while winter traction was on par with dedicated snow tires. Ice and snow was handled with confidence.

I love a Nitto tire. I love them on my midsize SUV. I live in Alaska wheee the snow and ice are plentiful. I felt extremely safe with these on my car during our 8 months of winter! They handle deep snow super well! Only thing I don’t love is I went from 430miles per tank to about 325….thats quite a difference! But safety is a hard thing to give up for better fuel mileage.

...Very impressed with the ride quality and lack of road noise...
Bought these tires for a lifted Jeep Wrangler mostly on road. My number one concern was noise so I read reviews and purchased these based on that. Very impressed with the ride quality and lack of road noise. Plan on purchasing another set for my lifted Nissan Frontier.

Only 500 miles but impressed so far. Theyre quieter than most all terrains, have good wet traction and light mud, and a smooth comfortable ride. More affordable than a lot of other big name tires, hopefully I get the full 65k miles out of them!

Very happy with these tires. Comfort is great. There is very little road noise compared to the stock tires. Off-road they handle great especially if you air down. Would recommend these tires to others driving a CUV.

...Tread wear is exceptional for all terrain design. This is the second set, first set came close to 100k miles...
High performance tire for an SUV if off road and snow capability is important. Tread on sidewall looks good and protects tires when off road or scuffing a curb. Tread wear is exceptional for all terrain design. This is the second set, first set came close to 100k miles. You get what you pay for with these tires.
