well so nice pull here from custom offsets custom offsets TV on the YouTube
back at it with another video for you this time on the Nitto Tire lineup cuz
we did toy and you guys were all like what about Nitto so here it is we got it
for you so starting then on my left hand side
we're going to start with the knit oh for 20s so you'll see this is more of a
summer tire or performance tire this is not something that you are going to want
to run in like mud or snow or anything like that so big huge trunks rubber for
really good traction on the street you know warmer temperatures something where
these guys can get nice and sticky this is also a directional tire so you can
kind of see a V pattern if I pointed out to you it goes just like this and curved
inwards towards this big giant cut right in the center so that is basically your
main water evacuation channel where if you do end up in some rain or something
like that it's gonna throw that water out of there to avoid hydroplaning there
is some small amount of saiping in here no zigzag patterns or anything like that
just straight cuts so that again if you end up in a wet environment you used to
have some traction but not gonna be good for you in snow or anything like that
this is gonna be strictly summer only you'll see this in a ton of metric sizes
nothing too huge because this is gonna be some more of your I like a lowered
truck a street truck kind of style or some guys are stretching these onto the
12-wides but obviously can't recommend stretching
for legal purposes but it has been done so moving on to something a little more
aggressive then this is the needle tara grappler g - so g - meaning the second
generation of the taro grappler you'll see it gets a little bit more aggressive
than the four 20s and does have basically more blocks in here more
channels so that if you were going through some mutters some gravel this
tire will handle it again it's not going to be ideal for anything like that but
it's gonna stand up better than this would this is also something that you
can definitely run in the winter because it does have a ton of these sipes in the
tread blocks so again that's just to kind of grab on a little better get you
better braking and better acceleration all around there so this is gonna be
available in a ton of different sizes for you guys including some of like the
OEM replacement sizes all up to a couple bigger sizes if you wanted to run this
on your lifted truck you definitely can now going into probably the most popular
tire from Nitto and this the most popular tire in general this is the
Nitto ridge grappler so this is a hybrid tire which basically means it takes the
best of your eighty and the best of your mt
into this so the goal here is they want a tire that looks really aggressive can
go through the mud but it's not super loud on the highway and you still get
good mileage out of it so just about everybody at the shop that's running a
lifted truck is running the ridge grappler and that's simply because you
do get really good mileage out of them as long as you're rotating them properly
and just not you know beating the crap out of them so you'll see big giant
blocks on the outside to get through mud or to go through gravel not too bad in
the snow they're not ideal for the snow just because there is so much rubber
here with the big chunks of it versus like split up like the 80s and then in
the center you see the gaps are smaller and there's more rubber you know closer
together again that's part of what keeps this tire a little bit more quiet as
compared to the mts just with it doesn't have you know quite so much big of a gap
in the center so when it comes to the sidewall on the ridge grappler you'll
notice that there are two different options so every tire comes with both so
there's a more aggressive side and a less aggressive side the more aggressive
side basically has more of an angular bigger blocky style shoulder which
basically the tread extends over the edge onto the sidewall whereas the less
aggressive side is just straight up and down kind of similar to what you'd see
on morbid Baja style tire where it's more of a paddle on the edge versus this
big drippy chunk of rubber on the side so moving into something more aggressive
this is the trail grappler which is the Mt from Nitto so these are pretty
symmetrical when it comes to the size of the gap so huge gaps on the outside and
just slightly smaller in the middle basically this is designed so that if
you don't get any gravel stuck in here there's no mud that spills up in here
that turns the starter into a slick it's gonna be all all able to self clean so
as you're driving down the road it flings itself out or since a road I
should say through the mud as you drive through the mud it'll clean itself out
so nothing gets stuck in here like I mentioned big chunky tread blocks
not much for swiping so again not something that you're gonna want to run
in the snow do they work in the snow yes but as you probably know if you own mud
tires before mud tires are not ideal for the snow just because they're so wide
and they have all these big giant gaps and not all kind of the small little
ones to pick up snow and give you you know more that breaking that you're
looking for more of the accelerates and that you're looking for with the siping
if you need something more aggressive than a mud tire I know I talked about
this in the toy lineup did you have to move to knit oh this is the knit Oh mud
grappler now this thing is a beast when it comes to the gaps in the tread
pattern they're absolutely huge I can literally fit two fingers
side-by-side into these gaps and it's a very linear pattern so you can almost
see like picture this is a giant paddle digging into the mud and propelling you
forward and then also has an extremely aggressive side all with big chunks that
stick out here that are well separated but they are huge so the biggest
downfall to the mud grappler then is just how noisy it is so because these
are separated so far if you've got these we can literally hear you coming from
miles away because they just make this hum as they go down the road so if
you're looking for something for a vehicle you drive on the street a lot
this might not be what you want to look into also the tread life on them is it's
not that good and it's not to the fault of Nitto it's just that they're not
designed for street use so these tires were designed purely for
the purpose of off-roading and going through the mud taking them to the mud
bogs and not going to your Walmart meets one strange feature that you might not
know until you get a set of these is that they have this weird claw pattern
on the inside of the tread it doesn't help you out at all but it's just a
nifty design that they do have on there so hopefully that gives you a better
understanding of what these tires look like side by side so you can pick the
