After doing a simple "search" for "Nitto Trail Grappler" I came up with 9 pages of threads with atleast some discussion on these tires.
I am guessing you didn't try to "search", to see if possibly, that these tires might have been discussed atleast Once in these forums, before starting another whole thread on them.
But to answer your question, I believe MANY members here run them and love them.

LOVE my trail grapplers....at first I was leaning towards the Terras and a few other all terrain tires from different brands. But price played a part and I was able to get a GREAT mud tire for $10 more than the terras and cheaper than most other tires in the all terrain market, so I took the leap and it paid off.

I kept hearing how they were quiet for a mud tire but had never had muds before, so I was really expecting a louder tire once I got them on. TO my surprise they are super quiet and a pleasure to drive. Ride quality is great too!

mine are the 305-55-20's:

Agree, but putting it into perspective, for a MT they are very quiet. Pics of mine in profile.

An interesting note I discovered when doing some research recently. There are more than a few people in different forums who mention the Trail Grappler have a slight pull to the left. I have experienced this pull so I agree. Its very slight, but it is there on mine. And it makes sense since people have also mentioned the Toyo's pulling to the right. Trail treads are basically mirrored images of the Toyos. Any of you guys experience this?

Nope, Mine ride straight and true....I had an alignment done when the tires & lift were put on too. No problems here, the alignment was well within specs.

Depends on wether your glass is half full or half empty. Too subjective of a subject to even be discussed in a forum, Seriously though, there is no answer for your question.

Tom next door may think they're the loudest thing since AC/DC in concert and I may think they're like counting sheep. If you got 1,000 replies telling you how quiet this tire is for a mud tire, still very likely they could be too loud for you. Just sayin!

This is literally one of those subjects where you'll have to pull the trigger and find out.

This is so funny you mention this pulling to the left phenomenon. I have Trail Grapplers and since day one noticed a very minimal (but noticeable) pull to the left. I thought at first maybe the tire pressure was low on the left side. THat was not the issue. Are others noticing this as well?
