While waiting to order my '14 CRL Summit, I went to Discount to look at getting some more aggressive tires.

I drive about 35k+ a year, and go off road for work weekly and like to off road a every few months with family and friends. In the mud, the stok tires slick up instantly and i have been stuck a few times in my '12 GC. I hope not again.

Talking to my guy at Discount, the best option seemed to be the Nitto Terra Grapplers in the same size as the stock tires. He likes them, says they will last as long if not longer than the stock tires and with offset tread pattern should not be too loud.

Does anybody have experience with these on there GC? Since I drive so much I want to make sure I am not sacrificing road quality, wet traction and noise for the occasional romp in the mud and off roading trip.

Thanks!

I went ahead and ordered the Nitto Terra Grapplers from Discount today. I have only heard good about them and since I cant get the Goodyear Silent Armor in stock 20" size, this was my only option with out going to new 18" wheels, which I haven't Found one i like enough to spend the money on.

Discount will buy fairly new tires, but you are always better of selling them yourself on Craigslist. As my guy told me, they just don't sell too many used tires so no real market for them to buy them.

I installed the 20" Terra Grapplers today and I am very happy so far. Smooth, quiet and more aggressive for my off-roading for work.

h2Obuff,

Are your Nitto's the OEM size or are they 275/55/20?

OEM size - 265/50R20's

The ride is similar, no real difference in road feel.

Noise is same to very slightly more in some circumstances, but really the noise difference is negligible.

I took them off road yesterday in very sandy condition and they were great, cant wait to try some mud soon and see how they do, I know they will be much better than the stocks (in my '12 i got stuck several times with the Foreras, hence I got the Nitto's this time.)
