Nitto Recon Grappler A/T 

So far the tires have been above standard. I took a trip across Nevada last week and didn't have any issues. I had to drive through a couple heavy rain storms and didn't have any issues with hydroplaning. The road noise was minimal, and they held the road very well at 70 up to 80 mph.

I ran nittos on all my trucks up until they discontinued the grappler G2 and decided to try Toyo At3s. Those toyos only achieved 30k miles before they were unsafe to drive with. With no wet traction and barely any dry traction. So I then switched to these Recon Grapplers. And these tires have out performed the Toyo in every category. I have 14k more miles on these than I did the toyos and have more tread left, have 3x the traction in the rain and they don't squall in corners on dry asphalt. I will say, the ice traction and snow performance left a little to be desired, but they're not technically a snow rated tire so with that being said, I'm satisfied overall. Probably going to switch and try the falken wildpeaks next since they have a winter rating for snow but I'd definitely purchase this particular tire again for sure.

These are the quietest all-terrain tires if ever driven on. Most of what my truck goes through is soft sand and my truck is a little over 8,000lbs. I’ve never wearied about getting stuck. In the few occasions that I’ve decided to air down they have been perfectly happy at 10psi without any problems. Towing the camper in the rain or just driving in heavy rain I have never felt the truck want to break traction. One spot I haven’t tried these tires on that I want to try them on would be rocks.

These tires are excellent. After leveling the truck I upsized to these tires. They are quiet, have good traction in all conditions, and are comfortable. There were only a couple of choices as I did not want an E rated tire and these are an excellent option. I am very pleased driving in town, on the highway, and in light off road/dirt roads. They are great in wet, snow, and mud, which I’ve had in 500 miles. Vey happy!

My brother in law bought Ridge Grapplers for his 2024 GMC 2500HD and he loves them. I didn't need that aggressive of a tire so I researched the Recon Grappler. This has everything I want in a tire. My 2020 2500HD spends about 70% of it's life towing a Grand Design 2800BH travel trailer. There is a bit more road noise than I expected but this is a fairly aggressive tire for road use. The contact patch is nice and wide. I have driven this tire in snow and have had no problem. These are much better than the factory Goodyear shoes.

These tires were super quiet for first 2,000 miles. Then the loud almost rough wheel bearing noise started at speeds of 40-60 mph. The winter time is really bad with this noise but as the summer warm weather is coming it’s starting to get a little better. At highway speed of 75 mph in cold weather on some surfaces it’s got the growling sound but on slicker new black highway or rough is better. I think the block looking tread with an angled wide opening is the entire reason for the loud growl at lower speeds. The so called step on some of the lugs doesn’t help on noise but probably will help with distortion of the lugs. It’s been a good solid looking tire with good wear and no visible edge wear. I did have the front end aligned like normal the same day the tires were installed. The dry traction isn’t great and no doubt because of harder rubber for the 65,000 mile tread wear. It’s done great in snow. The design is a plus for snow up to 7” that we’ve driven in so far. It sheds the snow even at idling speeds in sticky snow. I have been in mud but not a lot of it. So far it didn’t need 4 wheel drive. If I get in deep mud or clay type mud that will change. Its solid in all cornering I’ve done. Rain is good as far as not pulling in long puddles on one side or other and 2” of rain on some hwys. I can’t comment a lot about ice. It was in auto 4x4 in patchy ice and not driving like most 4x4 drivers that wreck in ice due to that thing called lack of intelligence. It is an XL so that 5 ply tread and apparently heavier sidewalls even though they are 2 ply will need to pay attention to pot holes. It acts like a 10 ply a lot. Very stiff ride in town. I think it will last at least 55,000 miles and still have 4/32 inch. I don’t let my tires get down that far. Usually if one is at 5/32 it’s getting tires. My daughter and wife is worth a heck of a lot more than pinching pennies. I’m surprised they didn’t bring tread out farther like KO 2’s or add about 2/32” more depth.

Very aggressive look which is as looking for. Def comfy but a bit loud. Nothing too noticeable.

Outstanding tire with aggressive-looking tread and sidewall lugs, designed to reduce road noise on highway travel, which it does very well! I had a friend who also has had many full-size pickups and, like myself, uses the speakerphone to conduct business on the highway, say, "I bet you can't wait until those tires wear-down", to which I was honestly dumbfounded and asked what he meant. He said, "so you can get a quieter tire". I told him that I planned on buying the Recons again, if they ever wear out! I'm at 80,000 miles right now and there's still another 10,000 miles of tread left on them! Best tire I've ever had on my full-size pickup trucks. There is a slight hum at highway speeds, but only if you're listening for it.

Good tire for the price and treadwear. Definitely quieter than some other all-terrain and hybrid-terrain tires. Make sure to rotate them periodically because they do have a tendency to wear unevenly, especially on HD trucks. I got about 50,000 miles on my first set, and I will be ordering the same tires again. They do a pretty good job in most conditions. They are average on really wet roads and in slick mud but excel in normal on-road conditions and most off-road conditions. I would recommend these tires to someone who does a little bit of offroading, but who primarily wants a tire that looks aggressive, with minimal road noise, and decent on-road performance. There are better tires for offroad (mud terrain) and there are better on-road tires (highway/street tires), but these are a good in-between. Never had any issues with punctures, lugs falling off or wearing wrong, or trouble balancing. They work good for HD/LT trucks. They are fairly firm, so I recommend running them around 65 psi on HD trucks for ride comfort and airing them up when towing or carrying a heavy payload.
