Nitto Terra Grappler!! (FIRST IMPRESSIONS) 14-21 Toyota Tundra
I just put on the brand new Terra Grappler G3s
and I'm impressed.
I honestly didn't think they were gonna be this good,
but they're grippier, they're quieter,
and I think they're the best tire
I've ever put on any of my trucks.
Just so we know what we're talking about,
this is a stock Toyota Tundra, 1794 edition,
and the tires that I'm running
are Nitto's Terra Grappler G3s.
They are a 275-70R18 tire and they are E-rated.
So let's talk about what tires I've had before.
I've had Falcon Wild Peaks in 285s,
General Grabbers in 285s, Venom Power Tires in 275,
and now these Nitto Terra Grapplers in 275.
These are better than every tire in a specific category.
Now, I'll be completely honest,
we are still very much in the honeymoon phase.
I wanna say I have less than 1,000 miles,
so if you're looking for a long-term review,
just give me a couple months, I'll get there.
But as of right now, this truck, chef's kiss,
these tires are so, so, so good.
When I was looking for a new tire,
the most important thing to me was it can't be too heavy.
The Falcon Wild Peaks are a great tire,
but they are heavy tires.
Weight being very important to me,
I wanted a tire that was lighter.
These Terra Grapplers are way light
compared to other E-rated tires, so that's a big plus.
Next up is road noise.
The last thing you wanna do on your way to work
when you just woke up, you're heading out,
and you have an obnoxiously loud tire.
These are very, very quiet, and the other tires aren't loud.
If you're coming from mud terrain,
then they're not gonna be that loud,
but if you're coming from a street tire,
they may be a little bit louder.
But these are the perfect, perfect spot, sweet spot, yeah.
Another thing that was really important to me was balancing.
I wanted a tire that I could take to any shop,
and they would recognize the tire brand
and be like, yeah, it balances.
It sounds weird, but if you take an off-brand tire,
they're gonna be like, oh, this isn't gonna balance,
and then that's a whole ordeal in and of itself.
They're gonna be like, you need better tires.
So with Nitto Terra Grapplers, you know that they balance,
and these balanced A-okay, no problems,
balanced right up from the first time,
and I didn't have to worry about any balancing issues.
Real quick, I just wanna say I am not sponsored by Nitto.
Although, after owning these tires for 1,000 miles,
wow, I am impressed.
They are absolute money, they are fire,
they were well worth the $1,500 that I paid,
or 1,300, somewhere around there, 1,300 to 1,500.
These are worth it.
Nitto, if you're watching this and you wanna sponsor me,
we can talk.
Well, probably not for a while
since these have 70,000 miles of warranty.
Wow.
As far as on-road performance, at least as of right now,
they're phenomenal.
There's a lot of twists and turns getting to my house,
and they do great.
I've had other sets of tires
where you feel a little bit of instability
kind of going around corners.
That may sound weird, but I've noticed it.
So maybe it's a placebo,
but if you're a tire professional and that makes sense,
then cool beans.
Not on these sets of tires, but on my last set of tires.
I hit the brakes and it was raining pretty hard,
and my truck started to slide,
and my foot started to go deeper into the brake,
and I started to panic because the truck wasn't stopping.
So I needed new tires immediately.
When I got these on,
it's been raining pretty bad around here, and it's cold,
so I think that's probably not the best mixture for tires.
Dude, on a dime.
These will stop so, so good.
I have no doubt.
Like, I'm confident, maybe a little bit too confident.
The other day it was pouring, and I was moving, all right?
I was sending the truck because I wasn't scared.
I wasn't worried.
I know these tires got me.
Next up is off-road performance.
I have had a little bit of off-roading experience.
Not much, probably like gravel and some dirt roads.
When I first was looking into these tires,
the only downside, the only negative thing
that I saw online was from another reviewer
who said that they collect a lot of rocks
and they'll start throwing stuff up.
I did not have that problem at all.
Well, I mean, I heard the normal stuff,
but not anything out of the ordinary,
which from that video, that's what I expected.
My general grabbers would launch rocks
at my sidesteps and stuff like that.
So these, at least as of right now,
I also wasn't sending it.
They did pretty dang good off-road.
It is currently October 9th,
so we're approaching the cold
and we'll see how they do in the winter and the snow.
I think they're gonna be great.
As of right now, they are at the very top of my list.
They suit my needs very, very well.
They're not loud.
They're very light.
They're very capable.
They come E-rated, so I'm not worried about side punctures.
If I need to tow, I can tow.
There is nothing negative I can say about these tires.
I can only continue to say good things.
I think they're great in the rain.
They're great off-roading for the little bit that I did.
And they are a two-sidewall tire,
so you can get one side or you can get the other side.
I went with the aero things.
They look so good.
And I did put them on some older Toyota wheels,
so the wheels aren't the best looking
and I kind of wanted a more utilitarian
type of looking truck.
And these tires suit that very, very well.
I can't say it enough.
I'm not going to buy another tire.
Once you've bought as many tires as I have,
you start to know, like, oh, this tire's louder.
This tire's heavier.
This tire isn't great in the rain, whatever it may be.
But this one checks all the boxes.
And at 70,000 miles of warranty,
I mean, you really can't beat that.
So I drive my truck, like, 10 to 12,000 miles a year.
That means I should be able to get, like,
five to six years out of my tires.
And then, you know, $1,300 divided by six,
it's like $216 a year for, in my opinion, the best tires.
I don't know.
I'm super happy with these tires if you can't tell.
Come back once I have, like, five or 10,000 miles on them
and see if it's changed.
I don't think it is.
I really don't.
These tires are absolute money.
They're fire.
I love them.
And I can't say enough good things about them.
When I found out that they're a Japanese-based company
and my truck is Japanese,
I cannot say enough good things about them.
Let me know if you guys have any questions about the tires.
I'd be happy to answer them.
And also, if I don't upload a video,
and this video is, like, four or five months old,
comment and I'll let you know how the tires are doing.
Peace.
