Nitto Terra Grapplers vs stock BB tires

[BroncoTRails]

Strongly considering switching my stock BB tires for 285/70/R17 Nitto Terra Grapplers as soon as my Bronco comes in (hopefully next week). I know they aren’t the best for serious off roaring, but I only plan on doing easy to moderate trails. My question for y’all is, will there be considerably more road noise with the Nitto’s compared to stock?

I dont know how many people have heard the stock tires...I have not. But, I put the Terras on my 4Runner and they are a fantastic tire. A little more noise then the stock TRD Pro tires but perform fantastic wet / dry. I truly did not notice the noise but my wife said she could tell a difference but that could have also just been from a bigger tire from a 31 to 33.

Also, not sure who says these are not serious off road tires or maybe I don't know what the preferred definition of a serious off road tires is but check the video of Fun Haver Bronco doing the Rubicon with these tires.

I have terra grapplers. They're good tires, average amount of road noise for an AT. I've never had an issue with traction either but I will say that if you're on gravel a lot, the KO2 would be a better choice. I feel like my terra grapplers are getting chewed up a lot faster than my KO2s (I live on a gravel road). If you're not on gravel daily then I think you'll be happy with them.

Just the occasional gravel trail.

Just the occasional gravel trail.

In that case they'll be great tires for you. And they do perform well on gravel, they just don't hold up as well as the KO2

What all terrains are known for being quiet?

Just put a set of these Continental Terraincontact A/T on my F150. I know, they are not very aggressive, but they are an all around awesome tire and much quieter than the Michelin's I had before.

Pretty sure Lauren is running Trail Grapplers on that rig. Non the less, the G2 Terra Grapplers are a good tire and I run the on my Jeep and my daily driver F150. I am looking to run either Ridge or Recon if Nitto would ever confirm they will be making them in a 17"

I chose Yokohama Geolandar G015 A/T the last time I bought new tires. I wanted some off road capability, but would be mostly on highway. They were not noisy. Not very aggressive looking, but worked fine the few times I had them off road.

Ah my mistake! I run the trails on the 4Runner. My apologies!

I chose the G2’s for my OBX in 33’s

Curious if you ever went through with this. I’m currently waiting for my big bend and thinking I may put some of these on the stock rims but can’t find a pic of what it looks like. If you did can you post some pics??

 

[BroncoTRails]

Yes I did. Not too loud on road and they look great.

 

[GreenMtnBronco]

I just put on Nitto Ridge Grapplers in a 37. They seem to make less noise than the Mickey Thompsons I have on my JK. Also, can't hear much noise of the soft top any ways

Something to keep in mind. Most off-road tires are not horribly noisy when new. All will get louder as they wear.
