Just installed a set of Nitto Nomad Grapplers 235/65/17 on my 2022 Badlands. Thank you @Discount Tire!! :like:

This is a new tire from Nitto, and there isn't a lot of info or reviews out there for them yet. So far I love them! They are a XL rated All Terrain tire designed for crossovers and SUVS, similar to offerings like BFG Trail Terrains, Falken A/T Trails and some others. They are tough and ready for some off road usage but are also quiet, light, and handle well on pavement. I had a set of the BFG Trail Terrains on my previous 4runner and really liked them, I almost went with them again but decided to try out the Nittos and am so glad that I did. They are much more aggressive in person that photos show, and more aggressive in appearance than the BFGs. They have good sidewall protection and look fantastic (subjective, I know).

Just got them yesterday so not sure how the mpg will be affected, but hopefully it won't be much, as the 2.0 isn't the most efficient as it is. They are super quiet at all speeds and haven't affected my speedometer at all, and I sized up from the stock 225/65/17 Perelli's (my 2021 4runner's speedo was off after I added the BFGs, even though they were the same size as factory, so I was worried about this on my BS, so glad it is still spot on).

This is the perfect size and type of tire for this rig IMO and I'm very happy with it. These Nittos seem like they were designed for the Bronco Sport. I'm excited to get them in the dirt and snow (they are 3PMS rated which was a must have for me) and see how they hold up and perform here in the Rocky Mountain region. I spend a lot of time exploring forest roads and two tracks throughout Wyoming and Colorado, I think these will be perfect for that and easy to live with day to day.

If you're interested in a set check them out at Discount Tire!

Thank you for your business!

Awesome write up on the new Nomad Grappler. We look forward to seeing where these tires take you.

Great photos as well, good looking Bronco!

About $860 installed including taxes, fees, and the road hazard warranty.
Nice.

I bought some Wildpeak AT3Ws 235-65-17 from them two weeks ago also. They got me in and out in about an hour. They are definitely efficient and their prices are damn good. I paid less than $700.

Do 245's fit?
Probably, plenty of folks have gone that size and like it. I wouldn’t be interested in going that big, so it wasn’t even an idea for me.

B307... How are the Nitto's doing?, I'm a big Fan of Nitto Tires, But I'm not sure if going 235's or 245's, Your Bronco looks great on 235's
Mine came with Pirellis 225's.

So far, so good! I’m loving them. I really feel like the 235 is the sweet spot for the BS, but some folks swear by the 245s. I really have have no complaints. I got a chance yesterday to do some light off roading and test out the tires (and all of the GOAT modes) and was very impressed. The nittos are getting the same type of mileage as my Perellis, they are quiet at all speeds, and the grip is fantastic! They are definitely worth looking into, I’d buy them again.

I decided to go with the Nomad Grapplers in 235 as well. But I chose the other sidewall design so I thought I’d share how it looks on the BS. Came from the stock Pirelli Scorpions. Grip is definitely better, ride is a little more stiff, and I can’t tell any difference in road noise. Excited to take them out on some trails this weekend to see how they feel off the pavement.

Those look good. I'm planning on going with the Nitto Terra Grappplers in 245/65/17 soon. Like the look of them the most. too bad here on LI there are no Discount Tire places.

I was finally able to take my BS off the road today. It was my first time off roading and even though the trail was rated as easy, recent storms created some gnarly ruts that were intimidating for a first timer. Luckily I had a buddy with me who has more experience off roading coaching me through.
The tires worked great overall although I will admit I don’t have enough experience to compare it to anything else. The trail was a bit muddy due to the recent rain so I did notice mud getting stuck in the grooves. I ultimately feel that this contributed to the little bit of slipping I’d feel when the vehicle was at a sideways angle.
But after 12 miles and 3 hours, I was able to reach the end of the trail. I encountered lots of variety including sandy and rocky terrain. Through all of this and the appropriate goat mode, the tires got me through.
These tires are really good on road all while giving some off road capability. As I mentioned before, the ride is nice with no noise difference. I did notice a small drop of about 1 mpg, I’m thinking because I went from a 225 stock tire and these 235 Nittos are heavier. I also noticed no change in speedometer reading as it consistently matched my GPS.

They look pretty good. I may have to go with a set of those soon. It appears that Nitto has discontinued the Terra Grappler G2's and the Terra Grapplers also. Does anyone else know that for a fact? Maybe the discount tire guy has some info? Thanks.
