Anybody have an experience with the Nitto Crosstek or Nitto Dura Grappler on an R51? I love my Michelin LTX M/S2's but $800/set is a little tough on the wallet right now. My boss, who's a tire dealer, has the Crosstek's on his 04 Titan and swears by them. I do mostly highway driving and paved roads and see snow about 5 or 6 days a year, but have to get to work regardless of weather. I can get a set of Fuzion SUV's for $400/set and they're not a bad tire, but the Nitto Dura Grappler looks like a much better and tougher tire (listed as a "commercial/highway tire") and I can get it for a good price ($133 each).

I bought the Crossteks and have been quite happy... Plenty of snow and rain here.

Thanks for the link! My friend says similar things about them on his Titan, which often pulls a horse trailer. I can get them for $135 each ($540/set) from him and I can install them myself, as well as do wheel alignments, at his shop. I can get the Dura Grapplers for $8/set cheaper, so basically the same price, but the Crossteks due have a slightly better treadwear rating. I like the look of the Dura Grapplers better and it seems to be more of a highway tread, so I'm going to have to think about it!

I ended up going with the Nitto Dura Grapplers. They don't look as aggressive in person as they do in pics. The Crossteks are probably a little better tire, but something about the "V's" on the sidewall just didn't appeal to me. I might get them installed next week if I get some time.
