The new Recon Grappler tire from Nitto (part of Toyo Tyres) is really aimed at off-road truck owners who want both a striking look and outstanding efficiency. Both rugged and stylish, this impressive tire features wide shoulders and large blocks combined with wide grooves. Available in 72 sizes for rims ranging from 17 to 24 inches, the Recon Grappler can be installed on either side, depending on the owner's preference.

The Nitto Nomad Grappler is also new, but this one features a less aggressive presentation. Available in a few sizes for 17-inch wheels, this tire is a true off-road touring tire but with a less cut-out tread design making it quieter and better suited to highway travel but still with sufficiently pronounced grooves and blocks to go off the beaten path.
