What's New On The Nitto Terra Grappler G3?

Ask any off-road enthusiast and they'll tell you that Nitto is one of the five best tire manufacturers in the game, if not the best one outright. If you've been in the off-roading and overlanding space for any amount of time, you've probably seen Terra Grapplers, Ridge Grapplers and Recon Grapplers on many of your fellow drivers' builds. That's set to continue with news we just got from the brand itself, about an all-new Grappler coming out later this year - the Terra Grappler G3.

Touting impressive durability, fantastic, off-road-ready construction, and enough design language to turn heads, the Nitto Terra Grappler G3 has been set up to give you and your rig a controlled, confident ride on all trails. Join us below as we show you the best new features of the model so you can see if it's right for you!

Tread Design And Performance Upgrades On The Nitto Terra Grappler G3

As you might have guessed from "G3," this is the third generation of the Nitto Terra Grappler, and it's built quite a foundation from previous models when it comes to design language. It features variable pitch tread blocks and full-depth siping, which help keep road noise to a minimum and provide excellent traction in wet weather, respectively.

The Terra Grappler G3 gets some design upgrades from its predecessors too, thanks in large part to new, larger shoulder/tread blocks. This, along with a new Block Foundation on the model, helps to increase puncture resistance and rigidity at the same time, and that also gives you a boost for stone ejection.

You're probably wondering anyway, so to answer the question you had on your mind, yes - the Terra Grappler G3 is also three-peak mountain snowflake rated, the holy grail of tire designations for most off-road enthusiasts. This 3PMSF rating gives the Terra Grappler G3 a huge leg up on the competition when it comes to handling and traction in severe weather, which is coming up in like two weeks depending on where you live.

Sizes Available For The Nitto Terra Grappler G3

All of the usual suspects will be represented throughout the Terra Grappler G3 lineup as far as sizing is concerned. On launch, it will be available to fit everything from 17 to 22 inch wheels, with widths ranging from 10.5 inches wide all the way up to 12 inches wide for beefier setups. This is not an exhaustive list by any stretch, so we'd definitely recommend checking Nitto's site first for compatibility and available sizes before you plan on snagging one.

When Does The Nitto Terra Grappler G3 Get Released In America?

We're expecting the first shipment of Terra Grappler G3 tires to be coming to our warehouse in September of this year, so if you want to get a first-hand look at what Nitto has been cooking up, you only have a month to wait. This initial release is for select sizes, though, and the full lineup of Terra Grappler G3s will be coming out later in the year - with that said, we would expect all available sizes to be available in stock by the end of 2024, just in time for the holidays and for your new year's build.

To sweeten the deal, Nitto is also prepared to offer a 70,000-mile treadwear warranty on the Terra Grappler G3 tire, which is its best yet, and could be enough to move the needle in the direction of buying a set.
