Running a set of aftermarket 22’s with Nitto Recon Grapplers. wasn’t overly impressed with the tire. A bit more noise that i expected. Can’t say much about its off road performance. i chose an AT for looks.

Im debating to go back to an all season tire but i can’t remember how much quieter they were.

I see Nitto now had the Nomad Grappler in a 285/45/22 size. more a road and light off road tire.

anybody have any experience with them?

 

I don't have experience with the Nomad Grappler but I do have a F150 Tremor and it came with General Grabber AT's - I was a bit worried about them but they are quiet for an AT tire and do fine on the pavement.

 

If you do decide on an all season I suggest you take a look at the Michelin Defender LTX M/S2. I opted for this tire on my 22" Urban wheels in 285/45/22 fitment. They feel just as plush and quiet as the Pirelli all seasons that came on the stock 20" wheels. I notice the Michelins track straighter too. On the Pirellis I felt I had to do a ton of microcorrections to keep the vehicle driving straight.

Losing out on that AT look but I find it oddly satisfying running a 'Defender' tire on the Defender.




Purchased from Tirerack. Plenty of positive reviews and ratings there you could dive into.

 

BF Goodrich also has a great tire for the Defender in the 22 size.
