The Nitto Recon Grappler A/T Review - NEW LT Tire From Nitto

[@Chevy_fanboy_2]

3:39 “Super stable at 90 mph because I know a lot of you guys drive that fast in your trucks”, I feel targeted 😭😂

[@chrisstewart7252]

Thanks skinny Jonah Hill. Great video!

[@donaldlavigne949]

Another great review Matt! You ended up selling me on the Yoko Geolander MT G003's with another outstanding review! It was a tough choice between those and the Hankook Dynapro MT2 but the Geolander had higher ratings on light snow and wet roads. Keep up the good work, no one comes close to you when revieweing tires!

Glad to help!

Hello Matt. Would you be able to get your hands on Mickey Thompson's new tire? The Baja Legend EXP? Seems very comparable to the Recon Grappler.

[@Ray-ep2cq]

👍🏼 Great info and review. You should do a comparison with all weather tires that are snow ❄ rated.

[@CampusautoCo]

Good idea!

[@MF-rw3rb]

Thank you for the videos. I bought the Geolandar X-AT a while back on sale after watching one of yours. Great tire.

[@CampusautoCo]

Good choice!

[@nickchapa5488]

How did you like them?

[@MF-rw3rb]

@@nickchapa5488 best tire I've owned. A 3 ply sidewall, nice big lugs that are spaced out enough for mud. No extra noise that I noticed. Good in the rain for an AT tire. I take them off road on the weekends, then do a 100 mile mail route in the country during the weekdays. Selling point for me was the 3 ply sidewall. Hard to get that anymore without buying a MT. I've pulled screws and nails out of mine.

[@MF-rw3rb]

@@nickchapa5488 only negative is the soft rubber compound they use. It's really great for traction, but no so good for tread life. You can hear it squishing along the road sometimes.

[@Bananahammock88]

@@nickchapa5488I’ve had them. Probably one of the worst tires in snow and ice that I’ve had, but other than that they’re great

Best review i’ve watched so far! Thank you for this video now i know what i’m getting next for my Jeep!

[@andreadanielson]

This review helped so much. Thank you. I need to replace my Nitto Terra Grappler G2 tires. Rumor is they are discontinuing them. I love them so much I was just going to get them again. I can no longer do that. I have a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee limited 4x4. As I said Nitto Terra Grappler G2 265/50 R20. I do not speak tire talk so please give me some slack. Do you think the Nitto Recon would work on a Jeep Grand Cherokee?? I have been getting mixed reviews.

Amazing! I’m grateful to come across this video! This help a lot thanks!

Cool

[@wheelerk2012]

is that your Bronco in the background? and what tire do you plan to run on yours? Thanks.

[@Forgivefull]

2:12 no 3 peak? Does that mean it's not really good on the snow or am I over looking it?

[@JoseOrtega-b6i]

What would you pick between the Recons and the Toyo AT3'S? Regardless of look. Main concern is tread life and wet performance

[@stevenwright248]

Another great video Matt! Thanks for all your in-depth information! Good to see your newest video! 👍 Looks like your Bronco is parked there in your shop ! 😎 🐎

Thanks Matt! How would you rate these Recons compared to the Bridgestone Revo 3s in the road noise department?

[@maverickreviewed7894]

I’d like to know this as well.

[@nolanchance1]

I should be able to answer this soon. Going from revo 3’s to recons.

[@CampusautoCo]

They are a little bit noisier but they are much better than the Bridgestone.

Hey Matt, need help to replace a set of worn out nitto ridge grapplers. I live in CT so some snow, but wet, comfort, and about a 25 mile each way commute each day on my ram 1500. i currently have 305/55/20 on a set of fuel rims. please help. should i stick rigde, go for the recon, or do u recommend something else

[@CorbyIzTrill]

Another solid review! Could you review the new BF-Goodrich Trail Terrain, thanks!

[@CampusautoCo]

Coming soon!

[@johncoyote6755]

Hey Matt. I have some old copper discover AT. I like the way they look but now that they are at the end of life they are noisy and rough. I don’t off road but I’m trying to decide between a recon and 420V. Nitto claims the recon is a better tire in every way. I can’t believe the recon has less road noise AND is more capable in every metric over the street oriented 420V. Do you think that’s true?

[@petes67bird]

What tire do you recommend? 275-55r20, want an aggressive sidewall, 90% highway, live in Snowy Wisconsin so would like 3 peak mountain rated. Thanks!

[@ronnierebhan229]

Been running them for a yr and half. Like the look and feel, but not the best in wet. Didn't have any snow last winter in on the Mason-Dixon line, maybe ill find out this yr?

[@leifcefalo2693]

Great video... I'm torn between 3 tires. I tow a little bit but not a ton but live in New England so need snow rated. Looking at: BFG KO's (these only come in LT for my size 275/60/20) Wildpeaks (P rated or LT) Toyo ATIII (P rated or LT) Any thoughts on which one I should go with?

Which tire would you guys recommend for deep sand? (Almost beach like sand) The ridge grappler or recon?

[@crazymv]

I have three needs. I commute and haul a TT. I prioritize hydroplaning control. I would prefer a square profile tire for my 18 Tundra Limited. I generally buy Michelin Defender M/S but considering the Continental AT. Unfortunately COSTCO does not sell Conti. Any reason not to stick with defender? Any reason not to buy Costco? Also considering blistering 5100. Worth the upgrade? I’m not in Va.

[@CampusautoCo]

If you have had good luck with the Defender LTX, stay with it. IT would be worth the upgrade to the Bilstien shocks.

Im buying a set of 4 I think, Power Wagon, 2021.

[@nonebp7182]

I have a set of these in 315/45/22 on a ram 3500 srw and they ride better on the street than the stock Michelins did. Before these I had a set of toyo at 2s which I loved but they rode so incredibly rough. These tires are flat out amazing with how well they handle.

I recently bought the recon grappler in 285/75r17 they are a great riding tire look great and sounds awesome. One bad thing about them is I had switched to these from my ridge grapplers in the same size. These are skinnier for some reason. Even though they are the same exact size. Definitely quieter though.
