Nitto Mud Grappler Tires
Built for the deepest ruts and the wildest lines, the Nitto Mud Grappler delivers hard hitting off-road traction with a bold, aggressive look. Massive, staggered tread blocks and wide voids bite into mud and fling debris clear. Reinforced sidewall lugs add grip and help shield the casing on rocky trails. Choose Mud Grappler when trail performance and style matter more than road quiet, and keep rotations and alignment on point so it tracks straight from trailhead to town.
Key Features for Extreme Off‑Road
Mud Grappler is built for sheer off-road capability. Its aggressive pattern uses large, alternating blocks and deep, open channels to sling mud and eject stones. Staggered shoulders and protruding sidewall lugs provide lateral bite and extra protection when you air down over rocks or roots. A cut and chip resistant compound stands up to abrasive terrain, so you get confident forward bite, reliable self cleaning in sticky clay, and steady traction as the surface shifts from sand to shale.
Sizes, Specs & Fitment Guidance
Mud Grappler comes in a wide spread of off-road sizes to match builds from mild to wild. Start with the OE size on your door jamb, then factor in wheel width, offset, and suspension clearance, especially if you plan to upsize. Many trucks and Jeeps need a level, lift, or trimming to clear larger diameters. For towing or heavy accessories, make sure the load index and speed rating meet or exceed your vehicle's requirements.
Popular Mud Grappler Sizes
Popular picks include 35x12.50r20 Nitto Mud Grappler for lifted half ton trucks, 37x13.50r20 for serious off-road builds, 33x12.50r20 for mild lifts, and Nitto Mud Grappler 285/75r16 as a classic upgrade for older trucks and SUVs. Always verify wheel width and offset for proper bead seating and full lock clearance.
On‑Road Manners & Real‑World Wear
As a true mud-terrain, Mud Grappler puts off-road bite ahead of highway quiet. Expect a deeper tread hum at speed and a firmer feel than an all-terrain or hybrid tire. Tread life depends on driving mix, load, alignment, and rotation habits, and frequent off-road use or high torque can shorten wear. Rotate every 5,000 to 6,000 miles, include the full size spare when possible, maintain proper inflation, and correct any pull or vibration quickly to keep wear even and ride quality consistent.

Nitto Mud Grappler vs Alternatives
Choose Mud Grappler when maximum off-road traction and aggressive style sit at the top of your list. Compared with Nitto Trail Grappler, Mud Grappler usually runs a more open, self cleaning pattern with bolder sidewall lugs, while Trail Grappler targets a more balanced mix of trail grip and on road manners. Versus Nitto Ridge Grappler, a hybrid, Mud Grappler trades highway quiet and wet road refinement for deeper off-road bite. Shoppers cross shopping other mud-terrains should weigh noise, wet braking, and treadwear against ultimate mud traction.
Maintenance & Care Tips
Aggressive tires reward proactive care. Rotate every 5,000 to 6,000 miles using a five tire pattern when possible, keep inflation set for your vehicle's load, and recheck pressures after temperature swings or off-road airing down. Schedule an alignment after suspension changes or any hard curb or pothole hit, and rebalance if you notice vibration. Clear packed mud and stones so the tread can self clean, and adjust pressures for towing or heavy gear to maintain safe, even wear.
