TIRE INFO
For truck and SUV drivers who need unwavering performance in the toughest environments, the Nitto Exo Grappler AWT LT275/55R20 stands as one of the most versatile and durable all-terrain tire options available. Designed to handle the demands of off-road terrain while offering dependable traction in extreme winter conditions, this tire is built for drivers who work, tow, or explore in places where the pavement ends and the weather turns rough.
Whether navigating icy mountain passes, muddy job sites, or rocky trails, the Exo Grappler AWT provides the strength, grip, and reliability necessary to keep going. It's engineered with a robust E load range (10-ply construction) and a reinforced 3-ply sidewall, delivering superior sidewall protection and load-carrying capacity without sacrificing stability or ride quality.
Engineered for All-Terrain Adventures and Arctic-Grade Winters
What sets the Exo Grappler apart from many other A/T tires is its Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMSF) certification, signifying that it meets the industry's strictest requirements for severe snow performance. This isn't just a light all-season tire with some siping—it’s a winter-ready, snow-tested tire that maintains traction in low temperatures, deep snow, and slushy conditions. For added ice control, the tire is also studdable, allowing for optional TSMI #15 studs where permitted by law.
The tread compound is specially formulated to resist hardening in cold climates, while deep 18.4/32" tread depth ensures extended grip and durability across challenging surfaces. Full-depth siping across the tread blocks increases the number of biting edges and promotes uniform wear, which helps maintain winter grip as the tire ages.
Built Tough for the Long Haul
With a maximum load capacity of 3,085 lbs at 80 psi, the LT275/55R20 Exo Grappler is a serious workhorse. This load rating and pressure make it ideal for trucks used in heavy hauling, commercial work, or off-road recreation where tire failure is simply not an option. The 3-ply sidewall construction—a hallmark of extreme-duty off-road tires—provides superior protection against cuts, abrasions, and impacts, especially on jagged or debris-strewn terrain.
Adding to its off-road resilience are spiral-shaped stone ejectors embedded between the tread blocks. These prevent stones from drilling into the tread, which not only protects the casing but also preserves long-term traction by keeping the tread voids clean and functional. The outer lugs are staggered and reinforced, contributing to enhanced grip on loose surfaces like dirt, gravel, and sand.
All-Terrain Without All the Noise
While it performs like a trail-rated tire, the Exo Grappler AWT surprises with its on-road civility. Thanks to variable pitch tread block design, the tire suppresses harmonic resonance as it rolls, resulting in a quieter and more refined ride than most drivers expect from a rugged all-terrain model. This makes it an excellent choice for those who split their time between job sites and daily highway commuting, as it delivers dependable comfort in both environments.
Design That Speaks for Itself
True to Nitto’s custom look appeal, the Exo Grappler AWT features a dual sidewall design, allowing drivers to choose between a more traditional, squared-off sidewall or a modern, angular pattern with bold 3D elements. This lets enthusiasts tailor the appearance of their tire setup to match their vehicle’s styling—whether they’re going for a tough, tactical aesthetic or a sleeker lifted truck look.
