Both have 60k mile treadlife and are pretty light. Great if you don’t need a super aggressive tire or LT rated.

Why? It's just wrong not to have the biggest and most aggressive tires on our girls

It's like those lifted Jeep Wranglers with crazy 37" mud-terrain tires on them that you can hear from a mile away since the tires are so noisy. BBBBURURURDDTRURUDUTUDUTUDUDRUDUTUUTTT.

Soon we shall see Broncos on the road with the same setup... very soon.

Anyway, if anyone has experience with the Nomad Grapplers, let me know. They launched last year, and I know the Subaru crowd took a big interest in them. So I'm curious what folks think of it. Seems like a good option for an AWD vehicle like the Bronco Sport, Escape, Maverick, etc.

Yeah I hear you. And the crazy 37" tires on Wranglers don't bother me (unless it's 3:00am). Kinda confuses me that many people do that to their Jeeps but then never take it off-roading, but hey... their money.

To Toyo's credit... they do an awesome job making their Nitto tires look aggressive without being actually aggressive. For example... take those Nomad Grapplers and remove the cool sidewall design, and suddenly you have a very boring tire.

I love the look of aggressive ties. I just have zero need. All I need is something good on the road and rain that will get me through our fluffy sand beaches and snow.

The installer at my accessories shop said, "90% of what I install ever goes off-road."
He didn't mention the shop owner, whose ultra-lifted and tricked-out Wrangler is always parked out front, nice and shiny, no dings or pinstripes or anything.

I mean... I get that everyone has vices and I am certainly no saint when it comes to finances. I just had a sandwich today that cost me $9 at a deli that I could have made at home for probably $1.50. But I just don't get dumping all that money into a vehicle and not using the functionality.

And to make matters worse, it isn't like a one-time expense. You lift a vehicle and put giant tires on it and your fuel economy is going to take a hit. So you made a bonehead mistake by adding all of this functionality on your vehicle that you'll never use... and then you continually get to pay for that boneheaded mistake by lighting money on fire with every mile down the road you drive.

BUT ANYWAY... off to go yell at some clouds.

Maybe I missed something but searched for these tires and didn’t find any in the Sasquatch size. But even if they do I’ll bet they are quite a bit heavier. That’s the real plus for the standard Territories. Not many C rated tires in this size that come close to their weight.

You won't see sizes that big in tires of this type. Not really what they are marketed for.
