Nitto Terra Grappler G3 Tire Upgrade

[PNWkip]

I had originally purchased The 275/70R18 Yokohama Geolandar A/T4 (first photo) and they felt great both on and off road. They looked good on the truck too, but I coud not get over their road noise for city driving. They had this obnoxious wind howling type of noise and I had them spin out in the rain on acceleration, so that was enough for me.

I ended up swapping them out for the Nitto Terra Grappler G3 in 265/70R18 under Yokohama's 30 day satisfaction guarantee through Discount Tire and immediately got an improvement in both road noise and fuel economy. They ended up being less than 1/2 inch difference in height. I haven't had a chance to test them in inclement weather conditions, but so far I am really happy with them!

They look good. Kinda funny, but not, that you live where you live and have not been able to test them in inclement weather in January.

Yea I got them right when we got a break in the rain, now have 5 days of sun and have had zero snow or freezing. Odd for sure. I don't really remember seeing the sun for a month or so before this

Those look nice.

Here in Southeast Toyota land, a lot of TRDOR hybrids come with those as a port install option.

For $1600. And you don't even get the original tires to sell to offset that.

Dang, well at least they'll last for a while! I think I paid $1300 installed + 870 for the trailhunter wheels up here in WA (got the wheels heavily discounted). Sold the SR5 tires for $300. So still like $1,900 for the setup.

I switched to the Nitto G3 tires as well. Go Nitto G3’s!

Really great tire. Huge reduction in road noise compared to the Yokohama

This is the second time in two days I heard someone mention "port installed" options/accessories. Someone posted a screen shot of their pricing break down and it added an absurd amount to the price.
I honestly just looked this up because I hadn't seen it up here in Washington when I was shopping. Crazy! It seems like it can really drive up the price of a vehicle with stuff not everyone wants. Not sure I fully understand, but I hadn't seen it listed before and have purchased a few new vehicles in my life in the PNW.
