Nitto Tire North America, Inc. introduces the new Mud Grappler Extreme Terrain radial tire, the latest offering from Nitto Tires specifically designed for light trucks and SUVs. With the introduction of the Mud Grappler Extreme Terrain, Nitto Tire expands its Light Truck tire line-up to encompass extreme off-pavement needs. The Nitto Mud Grappler Extreme Terrain tires are designed to provide exceptional off-road traction. The Mud Grappler features monstrous 15mm side-lugs, which provide excellent sidewall puncture resistance along with outstanding rock crawling and mud traction. The computer designed tread pattern features a high void ratio for excellent clearing of mud and dirt, anti-side slip grooves for better lateral traction, and sipes for performance on snow and slush.

With the NT555R “Extreme Drag”, Nitto engineers succeeded in designing a DOT approved, drag racing radial tire that would outperform all other drag radials, provide impressive control and handling, and still deliver up to 15,000 miles of tread life of normal street-driving use. NT555R's are manufactured with the original tread depth of 6/32nds” and are constructed with a specially formulated soft racing tread compound to provide maximum traction. However, this soft and flexible tread will wear much quicker than tread compounds formulated for regular passenger cars. The Nitto NT555R is designed primarily for competition drag racing.

By utilizing a racing concept design, Nitto Tire's engineers developed the NT-555 "Extreme ZR". With a specially formulated compound and one of the biggest contact patches available, the NT-555 provides superior traction, reliable handling, and delivers total vehicle control. The three-circumferential grooves channel water efficiently, while the lateral grooves break up the water wedge. This combination of grooves and channels reduces the chance of hydroplaning.

The Dune Grappler satisfies the enthusiast who wants an aggressive tread for off road capabilities, while providing a more comfortable and quieter ride on the road. By utilizing advanced computer simulation technology, the Dune Grappler's tread block arrangement reduces high levels of noise commonly associated with aggressive tires, while still providing a traction-oriented tread for off road use. The Dune Grappler Desert Terrain tire is offered in higher load range ratings of ‘D’ and ‘E' in certain sizes. These higher load ratings make the Nitto Dune Grappler Desert Terrain capable for use with heavyweight trucks, such as Ford Super Duty and GM Heavy Duty, as well as other large and mid-sized trucks on the road today. "LT" sizes will be available with a 3-ply sidewall construction for increased puncture resistance.

Leading a new wave of innovation, the INVO is Nitto’s new flagship ultra-high performance tire. Developed using the latest technology, the INVO’s revolutionary tread design offers the perfect balance between art and engineering. The INVO provides a quiet and comfortable ride while maintaining the ability to provide tremendous traction in both dry and wet conditions. The asymmetrical, non-directional, tread design with twin water-dispersion grooves and lateral slits effectively provide wet traction while the silica-reinforced tread blocks deliver superior lateral and longitudinal grip in dry conditions. The asymmetrical tread pattern also gives the owner the ability to rotate tires on staggered fitments.

The Nitto Neo Gen's unique asymmetrical tread pattern is an art in motion, designed to perform. The innovative three-dimensional, multi-wave sipes are optimized to reduce irregular wear, as compared to conventional sipes. The slanted, three-dimensional tread blocks provide the necessary rigidity for improved cornering while the combination of circumferential and slanted grooves evacuate water from the contact patch. Additionally, the Neo Gen’s inner shoulder tread blocks are designed to reduce the amount of irregular wear commonly associated with lowered vehicles. This perfectly balanced combination of technology and art suits the most demanding automotive enthusiast. With Neo Gen, you'll experience first hand the Art of Tire.

NT01 is a D.O.T. approved competition radial with an asymmetrical, non-directional tread pattern optimized for dry racing conditions. Originally with a tread depth of 6/32nds", the NT01 can be shaved to 4/32nds" to reveal a "slick" tread surface with two circumferential tread grooves. The NT01 features a racing-inspired tread compound, steel sidewall inserts, and a rayon carcass; all formulated for on-track performance to deliver extreme cornering power for fast and consistent track times.

The Nitto NT420S tread pattern was designed by an artist and it shows. The NT420S sports one of the most original and aggressive truck and SUV tread pattern available on the market today. The unique tread design is the perfect compliment to your wheels. Many truck and SUV tires are directional meaning that they cannot be rotated from side to side � only front to back. The Nitto NT420S� non-directional tread design gives you the freedom to rotate the tires front, back, and side-to-side. This feature allows for even wear across the tread area, resulting in longer tread life and a more comfortable, quieter ride.

The Nitto NT555RII “Extreme R” D.O.T. approved road race and auto cross competition radial tire was developed through a unique fusion between a race circuit oriented stiff sidewall construction and the popular Nitto Drag Radial tread pattern. These features combined with the high traction, specially formulated soft racing tread compound resulted in a competition radial that exhibits impressive control and handling, to provide maximum traction under severe racing conditions. The sidewall construction is optimized for handling extreme lateral acceleration; vehicles may experience rougher riding when used for daily driving. The Nitto NT555RII is designed primarily for competition road racing.

This specialty Ultra High Performance (UHP) tire is designed specifically to handle the loads of today's most popular Full Size Pickups and SUVs. The NT-404 has an aggressive M+S rated, double V tread pattern for optimal wet weather traction. The parallel V grooves and wide shoulder grooves force water away from the contact patch. The NT-404 tread provides a smooth, quiet ride. With the debut of the NT-404 "Extreme Force," Nitto Tires introduces Silica Technology into its line of UHP tires. The silica-reinforced tread prevents excessive flexing of the block patterns. This feature gives the NT-404 a lower rolling resistance, resulting in superior heat dissipation, improved tread life, better efficiency, and excellent all weather, road biting traction.

The "Extreme" uni-directional tread design provides NT-450 radials with excellent wet weather performance and superior traction, while delivering a smooth ride. A double-V tread design comprised of a combination of slanted grooves and lateral slits provide efficient water drainage to ensure superior wet-road handling. The use of the double center rib and double groove makes it an aggressive and well-designed high performance all-season concept pattern worthy of the title "Extreme Performance".
