Nitto Dura Grappler Highway Terrain Tire - Highway Hauler
Nitto continues to make a loud noise in the tire industry with products that get the attention of consumers in a big way. The company seems to take the tack of "Customers first, then work backward," as one of the company's engineers told us.

With the Dura Grappler prioritized for outstanding mileage, excellent durability, and super traction, the Grappler lineup now extends all the way to the heavy demands of the super- and heavy-duty 3/4- and 1-ton market. While 8-lug truck owners can now enjoy the aggressive look of the Nitto Grappler line of tires, more importantly, they can also reap the benefits of the smooth ride and uniformity a daily driver insists on.
The Nitto Dura Grappler Highway Terrain tire features the new Dura-Belt Treadlife Technology to achieve impressively high mileage. The three steel tread belts (not all sizes) of Dura-Belt construction ensure long-lasting and uniform wear. The multi-rib tread pattern uses high-stiffness ribs to afford a smooth and quiet ride while still offering excellent tread life.
A secure grip is provided by the Multi-Slant Grooves and Traction Slots that work on a wet road or a rugged construction site. Waved sipes located on all tread blocks help make snow traction a piece of cake. The Dura Grappler will be available in E-load range, which meets the modern requirements for super- and heavy-duty 3/4- and 1-ton trucks.
For the fashion-conscious among us, the tire is designed with two different treadwall designs so you can pick one you like before mounting them up.

Pretty Aggressive
Serious 8-lug truck owners will be happy to know that the new Dura Grappler tire from Nitto is designed for outstanding on-the-road performance while still carrying that aggressive tread pattern we all like. The design greatly reduces road noise, and those who spend all day on the road with their trucks will certainly appreciate that. But, rest assured, if you want to play with your truck on the weekends, these tires are perfectly capable.
