Update: My tires arrived and they were installed 3 days ago. So far, they look a lot better than the stock Hankook ones and are quieter to me. I went slightly taller, at 275/65R20. I should have some wet roads in the very near future, to report back how they feel in wet weather.

Following. Please keep us updated. Looking for a new set as well. Likely wait for the p rated tires to save on the weight.

The Grappler G3 is designed for wet pavement and snow. It is unlike the other Nitto tires like the Recon Grappler that is excellent off the road and dry conditions and is less capable on wet pavement and in snow. Nitto makes both a LT and a E rated version of the G3 tire.

I am contemplating going to the 275/65/20 as well. I do not have a level or lift but it does not look like the extra 1/2 inch will rub anywhere. How are they working out for you?

I'm looking at this tire along with BF Goodrich Duratrac RT-LT, Cooper Discoverer AT3 LT, Firestone Destination X/T. I need a 10 ply or E rated tire for high load capacity, strong winter and wet weather capability, and good on road performance that's quiet with 50K+ range. I only expect about 30% of off road for camping/exploring in summer pulling up to ski areas on weekends (or back country spots) staying in the parking lot while sleeping in the slide-in camper. On Youtube at Autodoor Auto you'll find very good reviews on overland tires which should help you. I'm still undecided but what NITTO and BF Goodrich have done to upgrade their tires is impressive. Good luck!

So I have almost 1k miles on my G3s and I'm very happy thus far with their performance, especially on wet roads. The slightly larger size should be no issue for those w/o a lift or level, as the 1/2"" is very little. I recall when I checked, I had at least 1.5" of space when I turned my wheels. The tires are rather quiet, compared to other AT tires, so that's a good thing and of course it'll depend on the roads themselves.
I'm running mine at 50psi and they feel good. You can go higher but I discussed it with my guy and we decided on 50.

Wet roads can be hit or miss, on my Recon G's older pavement vs. new vs. concrete landings or long road patches. Snow-wise, I haven't had any traction issues on mine for the past couple of years. Been through deep snow, high and low slushy roads.

Looking good! A friend started to dislike the Hankooks. He's eyeing for the Grappler G3, Rebel fuel wheels, and fender flares setup.Update: My tires arrived and they were installed 3 days ago.

> All clearances good with the 275 60R/20? Looks like the G3 is also coming out with the 285 60R/20 next month. Thanks!

After seeing this thread and doing other research, I decided to replace my Hankooks with the Nitto Terra Grapplers as well. They seem to be more than aggressive enough for what I plan to do, but without some of the negatives of the more aggressive AT tires like weight, noise, etc.
Since you have had them for over a 1000 miles now, how have these affected you gas mileage? I swapped mine out right at the time the cold weather started, so it isn't clear how much of the drop is due to the tires versus cold. I'm tracking it, so I will eventually know in my instance.

You mentioned that you needed a tire with an E load rating. I understand wanting more layers for off-roading, but are E rated tires needed on an F150 for towing? I'm just asking and not suggesting overwise because I would like to understand this better. I looked at this a few different ways. First, my truck has a GVWR of 7350 lbs, so if I divide that by 4 to get the weight on each tire, that comes to 1838 lbs per tire. The rear GAWR is 4150 lbs or 2075 lbs per tire. Using the higher of the two, the 2075 lbs is still significantly below the 2756 rating of the Nitto's XL 116T load capacity. If I doubled my payload limit, the weight on the tires would still be less than the capacity of the tires. Am I missing something in my thought process or do you just feel better about having the extra capacity?

Barely noticeable, to be honest. I am seeing about a .5 MPG drop. Highway is a little better since I went with a slightly larger size, compared to stock, so I'm traveling 2mph more than I used to when at highway speeds. In the city is where I am seeing that .5 mpg drop, because of stop & start.
