I've had the G2's for 6 years now with about 70,000 miles. Best tire ever but Nitto stopped making them. So I was replacing them with Firestone Destination XT tomorrow, but not anymore. After this video I will shop around for this new G3. Great review and Nittos back story.

Just put these on my F150 today in 305/55R20 size. Switched over from Ridge Grapplers...and I love em!!! I can tell it rides quieter already.

[@WillE454]

When did Nitto discontinue the G2? I just got the G2’s installed today and my local tire shop still has a lot of G2 in various sizes available. I guess the shop bought a lot of them before Nitto discontinued it.

[@mikelites150]

I get about 4years and 60,000 out of my last 2 sets of G2's. I just found out about the G3's today. The G2's are no longer being made but yiu can still get them if they have your size, otherwise, you have to get a different tire. I'm going to try the G3's out and hope they're better than the G2's. I'm betting that they will.

[@Hans_Moleman925]

These are the tires I want for my F150. They are one of the very few tires that offers a non-LT 275/65R20 size, are 3PMS rated, lightweight (about 47 lbs) and still looks relatively aggressive. They’re exactly what I want. Can’t wait til this size comes out in December! Thank you for reviewing them, nice to get some education on Nitto’s history!

[@rainman1387]

I can confirm that toyo/nitto used a different compound in the tread for the entire NTGA3 line up. I have worked for toyo for nearly 9 years in GA. Love to see that people love these tires.

[@vr-tl9uh2]

@@rainman1387 I noticed that the hard metric sizes of the G3’s have a 70K mile warranty which is pretty much the best in the tire world I’ve seen. Does this mean the compound is more harder to promote longer life? Or is the ride quality actually better too? I am interested in these tires but I don’t want to get a super stiff riding tire.

[@rainman1387]

@vr-tl9uh2 I cant give specifics on compound differences. A stiff ride is in part due to tread but also in the flex and profile of your sidewall as well. I know a couple guys at work and they love their NTGA3. I have bought Toyo and nittos for my personal and my familes vehicles and havent had any ride issues.

[@vr-tl9uh2]

@@rainman1387 makes sense. For the 275/70/r18 size, it’s one of the few options in hard metric which is pretty nice. Most are Load Range E which I know would be way stiffer riding.

I have a 2020 f-150. It came with Wrangler All-Terrain Adventure With Kevlar. Even though i maintained the times very well, at 35000 time to replace. I usually go for cooper AT road and trail. But this time i was convinced to try terra grappler G3. Never had Nitto tires before. I am from the Houston, Tx area. About 80% pavement and the rest is off road on our farms. I have had them for about 6 weeks. So far very pleased. Quiet and comfortable for this type of tire. No rain for the last 2 months so i can't say how they will perform in wet weather.

[@jaytee1459]

I just got these in the 275 70 18 116T. I got them because they are one of the only brands/models offering this size in a non LT, Load E. The tires are only 46 lbs each, and they look great on my Tundra. Highly recommend these!

[@bigdoba317]

I own tundra CM as well. Can you share some of your observations this far? What tires did you run before on this truck and how is the nitto non e load performing? Road noise? Hwy driving? Thank you!!

[@jaytee1459]

I had Michelin tires before these in 265/70r18. In comparison, the road noise with the Terra Grappler's is barely noticeable, and they are very smooth on the highway. I took a road trip to the mountains this weekend, highway had lots of curves and the tires were solid. Also went on some dirt, forest service roads that were pretty rough, and the tires performed great there as well.

[@bigdoba317]

@@jaytee1459 thanks for the info! I have KO2s on my truck and looking for replacements. Debating between these and ko3s. I don’t off-road really aside from occasional mud or beach but I do a lot of 30 min commutes to and from work driving 50-65mph. I get 13.5mpg and I’m light on the gas. Sounds like these might do the trick though I wish they had white lettering.

Will always love nitto. Had a set of Terra grappler G2 LTs on a 1500 ram. Was still passing NYS inspection after 100,000 miles. Life long fan for that reason alone. I also feel obligated to say there had bad ride quality, not the quickest, and almost dangerous when it was wet. But it made me feel like it was the 90s again and they lasted forever. I still loved them

I have the G2's, and after a couple years I can confirm that they do, indeed, suck in the rain. Although they never hydroplaned even in a crazy monsoon, my truck still spins tires at every stoplight/sign when it's wet out. I can't wait for new tires when the budget allows.

I’ve had the G2s for 44k miles and 1.5 years and they are starting to cup and are giving me a slight vibration now at 55-65mph. Not unbearable but it didn’t start until about 40k.

I've been somewhat studying tires for 20+ years. I feel in love with the Cooper Discover 3 for my '04 Toyota Sequoia limited 4x4. These look even better and will be a high contender for my next tire purchase. When i get another Sequoia, sold the tree to a coworker a few years back.

[@macleod1592]

Finally a competent all terrain tire that has a stiff sidewall that is still good on the road and won't slip and slide all over the place at the slightest bit of rain! I love my Toyo OC AT3's but after 30K on them, they're getting scary in the rain (F150 Screw) so I've been looking at something different. These might be the ticket.

[@mcmillan1963]

Have been a BFG Fanboy for over 48 years. The last set of BFG AT's on my GMC Sierra 1500 Z71, wore down as fast as a pencil eraser. I swore I would not spend my money on another set of BFG AT's. After watching several influencer and praising NITTO quality and customer service, I started looking for a tire for my next build. I went with a set of NITTO RECONS on my 2020 F250 with a 2.5" Carli Suspension. So far I'm pleased with the overall, ride,noise and look of this tire. Time will tell. Don't be afraid of trying something new. I think NITTO is on the right track for sure. Great review as always.

Had 35" G2s on a 2015 Wrangler for over 6 years and 70k miles. They never had any issues, and still had tread left on them when they were removed. They weren't loud, never lost traction when wet. They eventually started to dry-rot. That Jeep has 37" Ridge Grapplers on it now. My '21 Wrangler has Radar Renegade R/Ts on it, but I was thinking about going to the Recon Grappler when it's time to replace. It spends most of it's time on the pavement, but I like to wheel it when I get the chance.

Haven’t tried the Falken At4W or Toyo AT3 but I’m sure they’re good too

[@vr-tl9uh2]

Hey man, how would you say the ride quality and noise compare with the others you listed? I know you said smooth and quiet, but like is it an astounding difference? I’m asking because I currently have the Nitto Recon grapplers which I would say are comparable to the ones you listed. They do great off road and look great, but holy hell they are noisy on the highway. I was shocked how loud they were brand new. I have about 6K miles on them and it’s getting to the point that I may take em off and get the G3’s. I’ve had aggressive tires before and it’s shocking to me how noisy these recons are. My old duratracs were noisy at about 20K miles in. I can’t imagine how loud the recons will be at that mileage.

[@TheRealEarlLeeRiser]

@@vr-tl9uh2 for me, they’re quieter than the Ridge Grappler for sure…I haven’t tried the Recon Grappler myself so I can’t say or sure how they’d compare to those.

Any other time I can’t hear them at all

@@TheRealEarlLeeRiser thanks for the feedback. Based on video reviews it seemed that recons are supposed to be a bit quieter than the ridges.

I've owned G2's and they were great in all situations, comfortable, quiet, good off road, good on road. I felt mine were decent in the wet. Only hated one thing, they hold and throw rocks something awful. And I run a lot of gravel roads. I would be willing to try the G3's looks like they have wider tread grooves.

[@markymarqca]

I put the 295 70 18 Nitto G3's on my Ford F350 to replace 285 75 18 Nitto G2's that I've been running since 2018. The G2's were developing some tread separation at 40K, but they were six years old so out of warranty 😮. (It's a second vehicle so I don't drive it that much, and it's parked in the hot sun a lot.) I also looked at the Falken AT4W; glad for now that I went with the G3's. Price out the door was $1,890 from a local tire shop. A little more expensive than the chain stores 15 miles away but I like supporting local business and they have great customer service for rotation and and balancing. I ran the G3's over 1,000 miles from Sonoma County, CA to Bend, OR over the holidays. During the trip we had pretty heavy rainfall between Sonoma County over the twisty Hopland Grade and up to I-5, then dry pavement to Redding, CA (about 2 hours), heavy rain between Redding and Klamath Falls OR (3 hours around Mt. Shasta), then whiteout conditions with about 12" of snow between Klamath Falls to Bend (125 miles). The tires performed great in all conditions: solid on wet pavement, quiet on dry, and grippy in the snow. Once we got to bend we pulled about 5,000 lb's with a five-place enclosed snowmobile trailer with five sleds. The G3's handled the pulling weight easily on snowy roads, including backing the trailer into the snow drifts to unload at the sno-park. On the way home it was rain from Bend to Redding again, and no issues. The tires are still new so that could play into their performance, but happy so far.

I was super happy with my old G2s. I got them when I drove to the Arctic Ocean a couple winters ago. They were good enough for the Dempster Highway in -40°. I only upgraded to the Baja Boss A/Ts because I needed something more aggressive for the Rubicon Trail.

[@carlosf.8056]

Thanks for this video. Been looking for more info and I'm going to grab a set for my truck.

[@fscottgray9784]

A great review as always.

[@aquaman0167]

I just got the new WildPeaks. Had I seen this tire I definitely would have considered it.

[@nismomike3182]

I bought Ridge Grapplers because everyone said they were so great. I thought they rode terrible and removed them after 2k miles. Same size and load rating as my KO2's, and Bridgestone Dueler Revo 3 AT.

[@mini2nut67]

I just ordered a set of 275/70/17 G3’s for my 2024 Tacoma thanks to your positive review. Great job!

[@brpnw4r94]

I've got 48k on my Ridge Grapplers ('21 4runner). Seriously considering the G3s their replacement. The Recon is nearly identical and will also go on the consideration list.

[@Minjoeman]

I’m liking this detailed info… I am a fan of Nitto.

[@garretlewis4103]

My Falken Wildpeak tires on my Colorado are getting close to needing replacement. Was thinking about the Rubetrek instead of the new AT 4W; however, might have to check these out. I do off-road with my truck, it it does see more pavement than off roading.

[@KentWood-OptimizeUTennis]

Thanks to you that is my next tire!

[@derekheuring2984]

Thank you Tire Sensei for another informative video. I currently have 37 X 12.5 X 18 Trail Grapplers on my 2022 Power Wagon which I use to tow a 7,500 lb. travel trailer to the area I want to go off roading in so the majority of my truck's miles are on pavement, The tires are probably over half worn at 20,000 miles so I'm grappling with (see what I did there?) eventually replacing the Trail Grapplers with a tire that is a little more oriented to towing down the highway with off-road performance a secondary consideration. I mean, after all when you've got lockers front and rear and a winch you can afford to give up a little offroad performance to get a tire that more closely meets my needs. I'm not unhappy with my Trail Grapplers, I just wish they would last longer.

[@jrocket50]

Love it it will be my next tire choice once they become available in November.

[@johncheatham6616]

G2 , rocks , mud tire rocks , i would try the G3.

[@timleuliette899]

Definitely interested in these! I always ran the G2, but when I went to buy a set this spring, they were no longer available in the 285/45/22 my truck has in it from the factory. Just looked and these are made in that size. Just gonna be a few years for the current ones I did buy to wear out before I replace them.

[@ProjectPanda13]

Great video. Shout out to the R&D team out in GA for this product.

[@AdventureAwaits4x4]

I live in Pennsylvania so I’m looking for a tire that can handle snow and wet weather. I had been looking at the Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac RT, Toyo Open Country AT3 and the Falken Wildpeak AT4W. I do enjoy weekend trips to the trails to camp and “overland.” I wouldn’t say I go extreme off roading but I am looking for a strong off road tire that could take on some trails and won’t leave me stranded. I’d say my driving is probably 70% on road and 30% off road. I like the idea of the tire perhaps being a little lighter in weight. I’m interested in hearing your thoughts and assessment of the new Nitto’s performance.

[@utep212]

My truck had 95 horsepower 30 years ago, so light tires are appreciated greatly.

[@a257130]

I really wanted these tires. Spent the month of September trying to get them. Unavailable everywhere. No one had a clue they had been released. Nitto was useless “contact a store in your location found on our website”. They didn’t know these had been released. Ended up with a different brand.

[@OutdoorAuto]

It’s crazy how hard it is to find tires sometimes… especially if you need big sizes.

[@johngray9702]

Thank you , your channel is very helpful.

[@jbcope1000]

I just bought AT4Ws off your reviews. May get a set of these for on road duty. A non E rated 33 at only 40 something pounds. Should make a good highway runner.

[@2ndBnGolfCo]

Fantastic videos you produce! You cannot get more detail about tires than your channel, nice work! Since you did bring up the Exo's, can we get a review on them? Thanks

[@bigbrownmab189]

Be interesting to see how these stack up to the AT4W , in the 265/60r18 which these nittos are 37 lbs vs 43 in the falkens. Will be tough decision next month for sure when I was already planning to upgrade from stock tires I am rockin now.

[@piemanklp]

Would love to see an end of year or early next year review of the current generation of AT tires. Direct comparisons with clear winners and losers. Understandably down to opinion and by category.

[@jeffvandeford9197]

How about a Terra Grappler G3 verses Recon comparison? Need new tires and your videos are soooo helpful!

[@kenm4678]

Spent 3 year on G2s in WI. First 2 years were find, good looks decent traction on my 2wd F150. By the third year wet and snow were very bad, damn things sure looked good though and showed very little wear. G3s look interesting!

[@codsterules]

Cant wait to get a set for my trailboss, hopefully there start adding more sizes soon 😊

[@hj7993]

I have ridge grappler and my next tires change will be the G3 for sure.

[@sirgilbert605]

I've loved Falken at3w for how they did in snow, but hated how I noticed a drop in fuel mileage. Nitto Terra grappler g2 did great on highway, increased fuel milage (plus quiter ride) but seemed to lack the side wall grip that falkens had when turning in snow. Really intrigued on the these g3s and how much better they performed over the previous generation

[@greggkathy1892]

I had terra grapplers on my 2002 tundra that I parted ways with back in 2019. I put trail grapplers on my 2018 Titan shortly after buying it in 2019. They are still on it today and they are absolutely horrible in snow and rain. It’s coming down to the new terra grapplers or the new KO 3’s and I’m leaning back towards the new paragraph after watching this.😅 And yes, style and looks matter!

[@mvoutour]

Had several sets of the original Terra Grapplers way back in the 2010;s, then tried out Ridge Grapplers on my last truck. The Ridge Grapplers seemed to ride more stiffly. Once they release some larger sizes, I'm going to try the G3's on my F150 and see how they work out. Looking forward to better wet weather traction and winter capability for my trips to the mountains.
