Another great review Matt! You ended up selling me on the Yoko Geolander MT G003's with another outstanding review! It was a tough choice between those and the Hankook Dynapro MT2 but the Geolander had higher ratings on light snow and wet roads. Keep up the good work, no one comes close to you when revieweing tires!
@@nickchapa5488 best tire I've owned. A 3 ply sidewall, nice big lugs that are spaced out enough for mud. No extra noise that I noticed. Good in the rain for an AT tire. I take them off road on the weekends, then do a 100 mile mail route in the country during the weekdays. Selling point for me was the 3 ply sidewall. Hard to get that anymore without buying a MT. I've pulled screws and nails out of mine.
@@nickchapa5488 only negative is the soft rubber compound they use. It's really great for traction, but no so good for tread life. You can hear it squishing along the road sometimes.
Another great video Matt! Thanks for all your in-depth information! Good to see your newest video! 👍 Looks like your Bronco is parked there in your shop ! 😎 🐎
This review helped so much. Thank you. I need to replace my Nitto Terra Grappler G2 tires. Rumor is they are discontinuing them. I love them so much I was just going to get them again. I can no longer do that. I have a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee limited 4x4. As I said Nitto Terra Grappler G2 265/50 R20. I do not speak tire talk so please give me some slack. Do you think the Nitto Recon would work on a Jeep Grand Cherokee?? I have been getting mixed reviews.
I recently bought the recon grappler in 285/75r17 they are a great riding tire look great and sounds awesome. One bad thing about them is I had switched to these from my ridge grapplers in the same size. These are skinnier for some reason. Even though they are the same exact size. Definitely quieter though.
I have a set of these in 315/45/22 on a ram 3500 srw and they ride better on the street than the stock Michelins did. Before these I had a set of toyo at 2s which I loved but they rode so incredibly rough. These tires are flat out amazing with how well they handle.
Been running them for a yr and half. Like the look and feel, but not the best in wet. Didn't have any snow last winter in on the Mason-Dixon line, maybe ill find out this yr?
How would you rate the Nitto Recon A/T to the sister tire the Toyo Open Country A/T 3? Which one would be best for higher speed highway use? Which one would be quieter?
Got these bad boys on my 1500 rebel. They replaced my ridge grapplers. The ridge were 33s and had more road noise compared to the recons which i got in 35s. For 35s the recons are a lot smoother compared to the ridge. I am very impressed and satisfied on how good they ride!
@@ricosplace1 less then the ridge grapplers for sure! I’ll be getting another set in the future that’s for sure. Really really good tire so far, plus having a km rating on them helps as well!
@@nabatron21 you know how some tires arent true to size some more then others. Im waiting on tires now was hoping for some toyo rts or ridge grapplers but they have no idea when there getting some in. They do have the nitto recons just worried about the true size when mounted and also the tread depth being less then the other two I mentioned.
Hey Matt. I have some old copper discover AT. I like the way they look but now that they are at the end of life they are noisy and rough. I don’t off road but I’m trying to decide between a recon and 420V. Nitto claims the recon is a better tire in every way. I can’t believe the recon has less road noise AND is more capable in every metric over the street oriented 420V. Do you think that’s true?
Great video... I'm torn between 3 tires. I tow a little bit but not a ton but live in New England so need snow rated. Looking at: BFG KO's (these only come in LT for my size 275/60/20) Wildpeaks (P rated or LT) Toyo ATIII (P rated or LT) Any thoughts on which one I should go with?
@@CampusautoCo from what ive seen its an all terrain tire but has the snow rating on the sidewall, new enough they havent tested it for snow but wasnt sure if its worth it to buy them or not….waiting on your opinion
@@CampusautoCo have been running the goodyear duratracs for the last 4 years… amazing snow tires but was looking for something cheaper but equally as good
Hey Matt, need help to replace a set of worn out nitto ridge grapplers. I live in CT so some snow, but wet, comfort, and about a 25 mile each way commute each day on my ram 1500. i currently have 305/55/20 on a set of fuel rims. please help. should i stick rigde, go for the recon, or do u recommend something else
I have three needs. I commute and haul a TT. I prioritize hydroplaning control. I would prefer a square profile tire for my 18 Tundra Limited. I generally buy Michelin Defender M/S but considering the Continental AT. Unfortunately COSTCO does not sell Conti. Any reason not to stick with defender? Any reason not to buy Costco? Also considering blistering 5100. Worth the upgrade? I’m not in Va.
If road noise is a factor would you go with these or the Continental terrain contact a/t? I do highway %90 of the time with the occasional dirt/gravel road. Driving a 21 ram 1500
I just put the recons a week ago on my 21 1500 and they are bigger size 285/65/20 I have a low hum to them and I’m not completely sold on them but I’m coming from the stock Duelers and they feel a little rough but like I said I’m coming from stocks also they knocked down about 2mpg but that’s my experience with them so far
Hi from australia .thank you for you reviews of tyres you have been a great help in tyre choices If I may as I tow a fifth wheel ,in australia our weights are very critical so could you please include the tyres weight as it is important as every kg( pound) is critical as a heavy tyre x by 5 tyres adds up Thank you
Um, skip to 3:20 seconds where he calls out driving speeds. Is he Physic? The Oracle? How does he know this. That totally made me LOL. "I know you guys do this in your trucks". LOL
@@CampusautoCo I’m on the road 99% of the time. Pavement princess. I do tow daily but it’s just a 5x10 open air trailer with hardly any weight. I’m between this (Nitto recon), Michelin at2 and BFG Ko2s. I have the Michelins now but I don’t like how they look like street tires from the side and the sides where fast. Which tire would you recommend for comfort/ no noise? Any of those 3 or another all terrain? Thanks in advance!!!
@@CampusautoCo changed my mind and getting them on my ram 1500 rebel! Ordered them back in feb and should be here next week! Global shortage is a bitch!
Horrible tire. I just had my tire pro take a brand new set of Recon Grappler off after just 475 miles. This tread cut wanders all over the road. Replaced with BFG All Terrain A/T. All problems resolved. 285/60/20 E rating 10 ply tire mounted on 2016 RAM 2500 HD Cummins Rear Coil.
3:39 “Super stable at 90 mph because I know a lot of you guys drive that fast in your trucks”, I feel targeted 😭😂
"I know you guys like to drive fast in your trucks"... yup! 😂😂😂

@@CampusautoCo Only $286 ea in a 295/70 from Discount tire!
👍🏼 Great info and review. You should do a comparison with all weather tires that are snow ❄ rated.
Good idea!

Best review i’ve watched so far! Thank you for this video now i know what i’m getting next for my Jeep!
Nice shoutout on the obx! Exactly why I got recon grapplers on my 4Runner trd pro
Cool
Amazing! I’m grateful to come across this video! This help a lot thanks!
Glad it helped!

Thanks for watching.
Hello Matt. Would you be able to get your hands on Mickey Thompson's new tire? The Baja Legend EXP? Seems very comparable to the Recon Grappler.
This review helped so much. Thank you. I need to replace my Nitto Terra Grappler G2 tires. Rumor is they are discontinuing them. I love them so much I was just going to get them again.

@@rossespinoza768 Yes, they pick up rocks like nobodies business on gravel roads.
Best review thank you
Thanks Mickey! Glad it was helpful!
Another solid review! Could you review the new BF-Goodrich Trail Terrain, thanks!
Coming soon!
Riding them currently and they are sweet and quiet on my Jeep
How are they in the rain?
@@nolanchance2364would like to know this as well.
2:12 no 3 peak? Does that mean it's not really good on the snow or am I over looking it?
Thank's for the excellent review
Im buying a set of 4 I think, Power Wagon, 2021.
Could you review the new BFG Trail Terrain? It looks like the perfect all around 3pms mild all terrain on paper.
Chinese made now
I think I'm going to try these on My Ram 3500. All I use it for is towing a trailer down the highway. These should be good?
You got your bronco!!
Yes I did. Video coming soon.
@@CampusautoCo Congratulations, looking forward to the video :)
Been running them for a yr and half. Like the look and feel, but not the best in wet. Didn't have any snow last winter in on the Mason-Dixon line, maybe ill find out this yr?
How would you rate the Nitto Recon A/T to the sister tire the Toyo Open Country A/T 3? Which one would be best for higher speed highway use? Which one would be quieter?
I think the Nitto would be better for highway use.
What would you pick between the Recons and the Toyo AT3'S? Regardless of look. Main concern is tread life and wet performance
Thanks Matt! How would you rate these Recons compared to the Bridgestone Revo 3s in the road noise department?
I’d like to know this as well.
I should be able to answer this soon. Going from revo 3’s to recons.
They are a little bit noisier but they are much better than the Bridgestone.
I wish Nitto would have made these 3PMS.
5 new Recons and ready for a road trp
is that your Bronco in the background? and what tire do you plan to run on yours?
Thanks.
Very good sir.
Thanks!

Toyo all the way.
@@CampusautoCo thank u. P series or LT? I don’t tow anything over 4k lbs
What do u think about these tires on a dually with welding machine in back and some more weight is this a good tire for weight
What tire do you recommend? 275-55r20, want an aggressive sidewall, 90% highway, live in Snowy Wisconsin so would like 3 peak mountain rated. Thanks!
Will you be doing a review on the goodyear wrangler workforce at tires?
I will look at one and see.
@@CampusautoCo from what ive seen its an all terrain tire but has the snow rating on the sidewall, new enough they havent tested it for snow but wasnt sure if its worth it to buy them or not….waiting on your opinion
I don’t know. I would probably pass on this Goodyear.
@@CampusautoCo have been running the goodyear duratracs for the last 4 years… amazing snow tires but was looking for something cheaper but equally as good

Dang it’s already been 2 months since the last review?
Time flies these days. I’ll have a new tire review up soon now the Bronco video has been released.
So these would be more of a highwaybtire then a AT tire? What about handling in light snow?
They will be good in light snow.
In Australia they don't like the Nittos cuz they are slippery in wet!
Very true. Absolutely terrible in wet weather. Coopers are damn good in wet weather

If you have had good luck with the Defender LTX, stay with it. IT would be worth the upgrade to the Bilstien shocks.
If road noise is a factor would you go with these or the Continental terrain contact a/t?
I do highway %90 of the time with the occasional dirt/gravel road.

hey i'm looking for an all terrain tire with a very strong sidewall. What can you recommend?
BFG KO2
What psi is a good one for wear
No doubt Nitto & Toyo build a quality product, but it’s a little to ‘bro’ for my tastes.

An AT tyre in 20" is useless off-road.
Well, not totally but I see your point.
Not at 35-37", but at 33" yeah.
@@sergeyy8846 yes at 33 and 35" that you would put a 33" tyre on a 20" rim

Soon hopefully. They are having some supply chain issues.
Might just pull thru with them 👀
Nittos are overpriced
Not as much as Toyo
They are expensive.
