can anyone tell me about the road noise on either the kumho kl71 or the nitto mud grapplers?howare theyonlower speeds like 35-40 and higher speeds 65-70?how is the tread wear? im prob going 2 b on road more than off.
i really like the nittos agressivness but there are so many mixed reviews out there, so i figured id ask you guys n c what ur experiences were on either.

TheNittos seem like a good tire, I've seen people on here with them before and they were on of my top considerations

I had a blacked out H3 sporting those Grappler's pass me on the highway the other day
doing about 80. His tires completely drowned out the whine my Swampers made.....

I was impressed.

(Plus the spare and blacked out rimlooked bad-***--in the brief moment I saw it whizzing past)

Roger that Mark.... I've heard those on the road, they ain't quiet. I'm constantly amazed at the Super Swamper Trxus M/T. They look like they'd howl and growl but the are damn quiet on the road. AS LONG AS YOU ROTATE THEM REGULARLY AND KEEP THE TIRE PRESSURE RIGHT. Love mine.

I have the Kuhmo`s, They dont make much noise till about 50mph. As far as perfomance i cant help you, mine only see pavement, i just like the way the big mud tire looks on my 24`s

i have vids of a highly modified h1 alpha with grapplers and a lift and 650hp engine going through mud.... and a stock h1 2003 with just super swamper iroks..

the modified one couldnt make it through 4 times...

the stock one with different tires.. made it through first time no problem.. and just to **** the modified guy off... went through it again..BACKWARDS!
