TERRA GRAPPLER G2

WARRANTY: Five years or 60,000 miles

Two sidewall designs give the owner the option of choosing the look that suits him. High-density siping keeps tread blocks firm off-road but channels away water on pavement. The tire is designed to be stiffer on the road with good traction off-road.

EXPERIENCE: People often make joking offers on our boat when we trailer it to a gas pump or ramp. When we put these tires on, we started getting offers on the truck. The slight increase in diameter gave a surprising impression of an aggressive, lifted truck. They were closest to the Toyos in performance, stability and ride but slightly stiffer than passenger tires. Treads for mud and snow are siped differently to improve forward traction at the expense of rain traction — a factor we noticed navigating cloverleafs. So, slow down on wet, curvy roads — a good rule always, better still for AT tires. The dirt and concrete ramps were no trouble for these tires with our boat in tow.
