Default Nitto Dune Grapplers

I'm thinking about getting 35" Dune Grapplers since I like their side wall pattern better than the Terra's. Does anyone else have these and can attach a picture of them? All the pics I've seen look like they're on 20" wheels so it's harder for me to get an idea of how they'd look on my 16" stock wheels. Thanks!

Go to Google and click on Image search then search for Dune Grappler H3
There is a white H3 that has 35" Dune Grapplers on 20s.

also search for HUMMNISHER

I've been looking at them too, but I might be forced to go for Terra Grapplers instead cuz I hear they are not good in snow (or mud).

im running 33 inch dune grapplers. i think they look better on a 20 inch rim because if you stretch the sidewall pattern out to much and it looks funny. BUT they run OK in the mud as long as it doesnt get too chunky. they dont clean out as well as the terra because they are more like an all season than an all terrain. IN THE SAND THEY ARE AMAZING!! ive had so much fun drving through dunes and these tire work better than anything else ive had in. but then again they are called DUNEgrapplers.....

ive had both and i like the dune grapplers better. but i dont live where it snows or rains much.

Gonna first say I can't believe people still buy things with flames on them...that said I read some reviews and most seem to say stay clear of this tire. Here is one....

"i have 35x13.5 on my half ton and these tires are ****, dry pavement and wearing is what theyre good at, i went in sand, sank, mud theres no question dont go near it, grass, maybe if youre lucky creeks and rocks, haha no way, wet pavement, i hope you like hydroplaning and hitting fence posts, ill never purchase another set"

I know thats not you saying that but honestly it sounds like this guy has never tried these tires or hes just a kid with no off roading experience. Im having a completely different experience with mine. they are wearing very even, I havent hydro-planed at all, have had them for about 9 months and they still look great. I have not been stuck in the mud yet. They do lack rock grip when trying to crawl. you really have to air them down and take it easy so you wont slide. and in the sand they are great. better IMO than procomp xterrain and bfg at in the sand.

I'll just opine that buying american is better than buying Nittos!!! If you do not get it yet, learn a foreign language.

They are known to be cheap (what's the word?... an economy tire?), you get what you pay for, and they have poor wear ratings.

Here are my 325/60R18 Terra Grapplers on 18x9s...
They rub a little but the turning radius is still better than my Mustang or Durango (RIP).
