The Nitto Dura Grappler is a premium highway terrain tire engineered for light trucks and SUVs that demand commercial-grade on-road performance, exceptional comfort, and maximum tread life. This LT285/50R22 tire features Load Range E construction with 10-ply rating for heavy-duty applications.
Dura-Belt Technology:
This tire utilizes Nitto's advanced Dura-Belt three steel-belted construction that reinforces and stabilizes the tire's internal structure. Bridges between tread blocks join individual blocks into continuous ribs, reducing tread flex and irregular wear while promoting exceptional tread life and handling performance.
Application-Specific Tread Design:
The LT-Metric 285/50R22 size features a durable 4-rib tread pattern specifically engineered for heavy-duty truck applications. The multi-rib design links tread blocks together to minimize flex, resulting in a quieter ride and extended tread life backed by a 45,000-mile limited treadwear warranty.
Dual Sidewall Designs:
Choose your look with two distinct sidewall designs on every tire—one side features an aggressive metal fin design while the other offers a traditional appearance. This engineering achievement maintains perfect balance despite the asymmetric styling.
Advanced Wet Weather Performance:
- Waved siping technology increases traction in wet conditions while maintaining tread block rigidity
- Circumferential grooves evacuate water from the contact patch for superior performance in rain and slush
- Enhanced wet traction without sacrificing dry handling characteristics
