kumos or nittos
 

I like the look on the nittos, but how noisy ere they.

choice of tires are kumo 37 '' road venture or NITTOS mud grappler. Im going with 20'' rims , not many choices on that wheel.

Re: kumos or nittos
 

no experience with the other but the nittos are a little noisy. not as bad as a bf goodrich all terrain

Re: kumos or nittos
 

Also have Nitto TG's. A little noisey new and as they wear it gets worse :( . Changing to 305R50x20 Goodyear Eagles real soon

Re: kumos or nittos
 

i hear the mudd grapplers will not wear very long ( less than 20k) should be pretty noisy too.

Re: kumos or nittos
 

BFGoodrich All Terrain KO might be a little noisy, but they are a great tire. I loved mine, and I had them on a Tahoe. Granted, they were not 37", but they worked great for me.

Re: kumos or nittos
 

The Toyo M/T open country tires look great and ride nice. I am putting these on my truck next!

Re: kumos or nittos
 

thanks for the info, I had the BFG mud terrain and that was not to bad, but since Im going to 20's I don't have to many choices in tires now.

Re: kumos or nittos
 

Hey mopower, did you have them inflated to capacity , I know they bounce more especially with real big tires but big tires have a tendacy to wear out fast and become lumpy and noisy beacuse they are often uder inflated for a smother ride.

Re: kumos or nittos
 

I love the Grapplers. I had comments from my friends about how quiet they were.

Re: kumos or nittos
 

Toyo makes the quietest AT & MT tire.
I had a set on my old superduty & they were so quiet my wife noticed. That says alot!

Re: kumos or nittos
 

I have 37" Nitto's and I would not install them on my kids wagon !!!! They are so noisy you can not hardly talk in the cab. The vibration comes through the accelerator pedal and every thing else. I would never buy nitto's again. Period. I have had 44" Monster Mudders that were not this noisy !!!! Dave

Re: kumos or nittos
 

I agree selection is limited when looking for a 37. If you decide to go with A/T's, I am running 355/60/20 (37/14/20) Nitto Terra Grappler on my Super Duty. Incredibly quiet, especially when compared the the Parnelli Jones Dirt Grip I used to run. I couldn't tell you how they wear though, only 2k on them. BFG is also making an A/T 37/12.5/20.

Re: kumos or nittos
 

I ordered the BFG's I really like the look of a mud tire, but BFG does not make it in a 20 so I ordered the all terrain. I have had really good luck with BFG's in the past.

Re: kumos or nittos
 

Wait till they get a little older.........then tell me how quiet they are. :eek: Dave

Re: kumos or nittos
 

I'm going to Bridgstone 445/50R22.5 semi-truck tires on 22.5" wheels. 40.2" tall x 18.5" wide. Dave

Re: kumos or nittos
 

I run the same tire on a DMAX. Have had great luck with it. Quiet and seems to be weariing relatively well.

Wardey, not disputing what your experience has been. Maybe I have just been lucky.

Re: kumos or nittos
 

I have Nitto Terra Grappler on my Excursion and they wore out fast. I liked the looks and they were quiet enough for me. I will look around before getting new tires.

Re: kumos or nittos
 

Wardey,
Are you running Terra Grapplers or the Mud Grappler? You've got me worried.

Re: kumos or nittos
 

Not to total capacity because in makes for a harsh ride when lightly loaded. I'll put them back on next winter for snow. :cool:

Re: kumos or nittos
 

Terra's. I'm not kidding, they vibrate the accelerator pedal and I have to crank the 1200 watt stereo to get away from the noise. I talked to the dealer and he said, "Yeah, they get louder the older they get !!!".... :mad: Dave

Re: kumos or nittos
 

Interesting replies.

Re: kumos or nittos
 

Pulled my Terra grapplers off for the summer. Replaced them with 305-50x20 Goodyear Eagle GTs. The quiet ride is deafening :D :D :D . What a difference...handles nice too

Re: kumos or nittos
 

Im thinking of going the same route, anyone have any expierence with these. How long will they last, i dont want to replace tires every 20k.

Re: kumos or nittos
 

I had a set of mud grapplers on my H2. I was offered a sponsership from Toyo for sema a couple years ago, and a free set of tires. I turned it down and went with the mud grapplers I had to buy myself because the Nittos were so bad ass looking. Yes it sounded as if I was in a small airplane taking off, but that is what the killer stereo was for. I considered the noise the price you payed for cool.

Re: kumos or nittos
 

Beer - That's exactly what mine sond like !!! A twin engine prop plane !!! I hate these nitto terra's !!! :mad: The more miles I put on them the worse it gets.Like I said, the vibrations are coming throug the floorboard !!! Dave

Re: kumos or nittos
 

Anybody running toyo's?

Re: kumos or nittos
 

I ran them AT's & MT's. Would buy nothing other than Toyos. They are super quiet.

Re: kumos or nittos
 

Try these http://www.procomptires.com/xtatapps.htm . did them on a customers h2 w/like 6" lift. Worked out good and they were quiet and wear well.

Re: kumos or nittos
 

are you running your air presure to max, or do you have them under inflated.

Re: kumos or nittos
 

Im worried about how many miles i can get out of the mt's. The smart thing would be the at's but i love the look of the mt's.

Re: kumos or nittos
 

I've got a set of 37X13.50X18 Toyo Open Country M/T's on mine. They're pretty quiet, balanced VERY well, but are kind of expensive. I recommend them to anyone.
