ANYONE USED THE NITTO Dune Grappler DT flame pattern tread or off road in mud? also looking at the cooper ZEON LTZ Looking to just put on when on the trail and keep my other tires for daily driving

The Zeon LTZs have gotten very good reviews from Land Rover owners, especially late models. The tread pattern is aggressive enough to be very good off road, yet well manered enough to be quiet and comfortable on road. GY Silent Armors are another good choice, also great reviews from current users. However if you are looking for 16 instead of 18, then the field opens wide as far as choices.

can't fit 16 on the lr3 i wish i could; so looking at getting another set of 18s to run off road i like the GR but thinking i want more agressive tread leaning to the coopers they are alot cheaper but didn't know if any one had tried the flame pattern nittos.

WOW no one has tried the Nittos i just might have to buck up and get some

I saw the flame pattern when I was looking for tires. I honestly find it hard to take anything like that serious. I'm sure they tested the pattern at lenght to make sure it offered good traction, it just looks too much like a show and tell piece rather than a real tire to me.

It's alot like the TruXus STS. [image]http://www.angryiron.com/interTruxusSTS.jpg[/image] The TruXus's are proven offroad. The width-wise grooves make it very good in loose terrain. If you're going mud bogging, these probably arn't going to be the best choices, but Interco say's they are just as good offroad and in the rocks as any traditional all-terrain tread. The flame pattern is probably largely for show, but it still retains the needed pattern for loose-terrain (sand/snow/dunes) grip. That said..I probably would take the Truxus over the Nitto...but that's my preference [:)]

ya i have wondered that as well but i think it is the most agressive choice for the LR3 unless i get some Goodyear M/T shipped in from over the pond and im not dropping that kind of cash on somthing i will use a few times a month. im not shure how well they will clear mud i might give nitto a call Can I get the TruXus's for the LR3? If so who do i call???

WolfPack -> RE: Dune Grappler DT NITTO (3/27/2008 9:07:18 AM)
Even if they can clear mud efficiently...the channels are simply not deep enough to provide mud traction. If you want to mud, you need a m/t or an a/t. Not a sand tire. But I havn't looked for LR3 tires..is the size that odd? Have you looked at 4 Wheel Parts or an offroad supplier as opposed to a traditional tire shop?

drzjoint -> RE: Dune Grappler DT NITTO (3/27/2008 9:47:14 AM)
the size is stupid odd. and an 18" rim trying to find the most agressive tread in a 285/60/18even would go with a 275 or 265 but theur are only a few choices.

Jantiz -> RE: Dune Grappler DT NITTO (3/27/2008 11:57:24 AM)
Ditto. If I had a spare set of 18's to use only when off roading, you better believe I'd go for the chunkiest, most aggressive tread I could find in 285/60/18. That way I'd also get a little added clearance from the tires.
