MANILA, Philippines - When going off road and you require serious traction and control, all you need is Nitto’s Trail Grappler. Developed and tested on and off the road, Nitto’s Trail Grappler boasts a sidewall that combines a 3-ply high-turn-up construction with a thick rubber compound that cushions the tire and helps prevent punctures.
On the tread surface, the blocks are configured to provide additional biting edges that command lateral stability and enhance forward traction. When navigating tough terrain, the balanced void ratio and stone ejectors help clear debris from the tread to provide continuous traction.
“The Trail Grappler M/T is engineered to be a trail-ready tire without compromising on-road comfort and performance,” said Anthony Lee, staff engineer at Nitto Tire. “We used advanced computer design and analysis to test the functionality of multiple designs before building the tire. This allowed us to engineer a tire that will perform to our customer’s expectations,” Lee added.
For on-road comfort, Nitto’s engineers used advanced sound analysis equipment when developing the Trail Grappler M/T to reduce noise levels commonly associated with off-road tires. The internal construction and tread design also help optimize tread life. Two wide steel belts provide a stable base for the tire and increase tread strength. This advanced construction provides optimal uniformity and reduces irregular wear. On the outer shoulder block, the reinforced grooves maintain block stiffness to further extend the life of the tires.
