Nitto 205740 Trail Grappler Tire in LT285/65R18
Description
The Nitto Trail Grappler Tire does not sacrifice performance for comfort. Even though this highly capable mud terrain tire is at home off-road, Nitto engineered the rugged tread pattern to reduce road noise and provide a smooth on-road ride. Not only will the Trail Grappler tire grip in mud and loose terrain, but the tread will also clear so it does not get clogged. For better wear and puncture resistance, the sidewalls feature three-ply polyester reinforcement. The Nitto Trail Grappler can take your Jeep down trails it has never been before.

Details
Reinforced Sidewall: The three-ply polyester sidewall is both puncture resistant and long lasting. This durable design makes for a longer lasting tire.
Tread Block Rigidity: For improved traction, Nitto reinforces the coupling joints on their Trail Grappler tires. These joints connect the outer most tread blocks to the center blocks.
Sidewall Design: Nitto uses a dual sidewall design on all of their Grappler tires. One side has traditional lettering with flat buttresses, where the other features v-shaped buttresses and stylized lettering.
Variable Pitch Tread Blocks: The tread pattern on the Trail Grappler tire was specifically engineered to reduce tire noise and droning on the highway. At highway speeds the Trail Grappler is 36% quieter than the Nitto Mud Grappler, and at street speeds it is 34% quitter.
Mud Evacuation: For continuous off-road traction, Nitto designed the tread of their Trail Grappler to self-clean and not get clogged with mud and debris.
Siping: Deep sipes increase all-season traction, and water displacement, while decreasing hydroplaning.
Uniform Construction: Nitto is known for their proprietary, automated manufacturing system which produces well balanced tires that provide a comfortable ride.

I've wanted these tires for as long as I've owned the Jeep. Best purchase for the Jeep yet. It really fits the Jeep look.
Questions
Aubrey J.
I have a 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Would I have to put a lift on it to fit the 35's or will they fit without? And what type of lift would I need?
Yes, you will absolutely need a lift—and significant modifications—to fit 35-inch tires on a 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee (WL).
Unlike the Jeep Wrangler, which can fit 35s with little to no lift, the Grand Cherokee has a unibody construction and tight wheel wells that make 35s extremely difficult to clear.
Fitting 35-inch tires on this platform is considered an "extreme" modification. Here is what you are up against:
Major Rubbing: Even with a common 2.5-inch lift, 35s will rub the inner wheel wells, the upper control arms (UCAs), and the "pinch welds" (metal seams inside the fender) when you turn the steering wheel or hit a bump.
Suspension Geometry: The WL suspension design (especially the spindle and upper ball joint location) is very close to the tire. To clear 35s, you would likely need high-offset aftermarket wheels or wheel spacers just to keep the tire from hitting the suspension components.
Trimming Required: You would have to perform a "pinch weld mod" (cutting and hammering back metal behind the plastic liner) and significant trimming of the front bumper and plastic fender liners.
Gearing & Brake Stress: The Grand Cherokee's factory gearing is not designed for the weight and diameter of 35-inch tires. This will make the vehicle feel sluggish, cause the transmission to hunt for gears, and increase stopping distances.
What actually fits?
Most owners stick to 32-inch or 33-inch tires for a daily-driver-friendly build. Required Lift for 32"-33": A 2"–2.5" lift and likely wheel spacers or offset wheels to clear the upper control arms. Minor trimming is usually required.

I have a 2015 jk. Do I have to make any modifications to fit a 35 tire on this
We do recommend a lift of 2+ inches for a 35" tire. However, many Jeep owners do not have a lift for 35" tires - it doesn't leave very much room in the wheel well for up/down travel or articulation. You may need wheel spacers or new wheels with appropriate backspacing as well. Modifications and additional parts required will vary by vehicle.
Erik E.
Hey guys! Thanks in advance for any advice. I have a 2022 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon with a 3.5" Rough Country lift. I don't do any off roading in this Jeep, but I do cruise the NW Florida beaches when I can. I am also running 17X9's Black Rhino wheels with a 0 offset. My big question is can I put 40" tires with this current set up? I definitely plan on re gearing the Jeep if I can but just curious if this is even possible.
The short answer is no. But, there is much more to this question than a short sweet answer because it could be possible depending on the work and money you want to put in - we'd recommend you talk to a local mechanic who can evaluate your Jeep build to develop a list of other parts you may need. Control arms, stronger and longer driveshafts, heavy-duty steering components, wheels with better offset/backspacing, new gears, and high clearance fenders are all items that could and will likely be on your shopping list. Other modifications may be necessary as well; such as body trimming, so keep that in mind as well.
