VIDEO : All Terrain Tires that Grapple the Snow

wayoflife said:
Just like any all terrain, I would say these will most likely do great on slick rock, like what you find in Moab or Sand Hollow. Where they will most likely come up short is on the rocks as they lack more aggressive/larger voids to claw their way up them. I would imagine in the mud, they will really fall short as well but then, Ridge Grapplers would too.

It seems that if you live in a place which is cold during the winter, with lots of snow and ice, having two sets of tires is a wise idea. But changing out tires at home is a real pain, and especially if the sets are not similarly sized so the spare fits the tire carrier. An extra set of tires/wheels takes a lot of space, and many garages may not have the space.

The tire manufacturers assume that their customers actually install summer tires, then all season tires, and finally winter tires (and of course discarding tires every 5 years due to age). But that is not what most people do. In the south people run summer tires year round, and they offer practically no traction in ice and snow.

TONS of people run studded tires in the winter up here and then regular tires for the rest of the year.

Good looking tire. Nice to be able to support Nitto rather than BFG. 👍

BFG aren't terrible tires but I do like testing out new stuff when they come out and yes, I do like Nitto as well.

Wow, you guys definitely got some snow!

The G3’s look like they really did well in the snow and with that kind of expected mileage those tires are a great choice if you’re looking for an AT tire. You cannot go wrong with Nitto!

Love the Ripley Cam! 😍

LOL - it's about time too! I was starting to think this global warming thing was real 🤪

I'm typically not an AT tire kind of guy but on something like our YJ, I'd rather run them than an MT and yeah, they did really well.

Happy to hear you enjoyed seeing Ripley at the end :)

The Terra Grappler G3 is the all new and redesigned All Terrain Tire made by Nitto and it's one that's true, 3 Mountain Peak Snowflake or what some refer to as, a 3PMS snow rated tire. In this video, you'll get to learn a bit more about some of it's features, what makes it so awesome and get a sampling of how it performs out in the slick and slippery white stuff.

Great video. Love seeing the YJ in action.
Reminds me of growing up in upstate NY and heading out in my cousins XJ to rip around in the snow at night…

When I lived in a snow state, I ran 2 sets of basically the same tire, would get one studded.

As all season tires got better, I moved away from studded tires.
 
While I know that one can buy studded tires, are studs also added to tires after manufacturing so they could be added to any sturdy tire?
