New nitto exo grappler

[Master Yoda]

Nitto just posted some more pics of the 35x12.50/17's on instagram. They're kinda growing on me and my BFG's are getting thin. Showing this size available 10/1.

Not bad looking tires!

With the KO2's out of the picture, and my stock KO's running thin, I was all set to purchase the Duratech's until I saw these. Don't know how much these will weigh, my guess would be 8 pounds more than the stock KO's? Apparently these have three ply sidewall construction against the Duratech's 2 ply which means a heavier tire.

Per the website, the overall diameter is 34.76 inches, this against the 34.40 of the stock KO's.

Winter performance is important as this is my SHTF/Bugout vehicle first and foremost. I won't like the loss of 2 MPG if this tire is 8-9 pounds heavier than the stock BFG KO's - that's a 50 mile driving range delta due to a heavier tire.

Gotta get something soon, glad I found this thread and tire, thanks MWAKGP for the PM on winter tire selection. You being from Bend means you know winter conditions. My bug out location is either in upstate NY or mid Vermont - both having extreme winter conditions and lots of dirt/muddy roads.

I would be interested to hear this snow tire info. Moving to SLC in January and the drag slick stockers I have now aren't going to cut it.

Anybody looking to buy these tires, go ahead an pre lube yourself lol. I just sold a set to a friend in the 305/55R20 size (not for a raptor) and they were $50 more than trail grapplers

For a 33" !!

Went to the Lucas Oil Offroad Expo in Pomona California yesterday. Saw these (EXO) tires in person and was pretty impressed. Here's what they look like on the Nitto Raptor.

Ordered a set of 35's today from Discount Tire. May be a few days before I can get over there to have them mounted up, but I'll report back once I've got a few miles on them.

I did ask the guy what the weight was, he only had shipping weight and said that was 68 lbs./tire.

68lbs is pretty good. Only a few pounds over stock. How much did they run you?
