  • NITTO CROSSTEK 2 TIRES
    - Folsom, CA

    P245/55R19 103T Nitto Crosstek2 BW. Vehicle pulls to different directions when the tires are cross swapped. I have taken the vehicle to 4 to 5 wheel alignments within 3 months and 3 different shops after the purchase of the tire. Recently I took the vehicle Big O Tires and they _verified the tires have "Radial Pull" / Tire Conicity due to Manufacturing Defect of the a belt separation within the tire's structure. _The shop also verified that the alignment is performed correctly. I believe those tire are unsafe and they could fail suddenly causing crash.

  • NITTO TERRA GRAPPLER ALL TERRAIN TIRES
    - Kingwood, TX

    LT295/65R20 Two Nitto Grappler G2 which were on the rear of my truck, the internal belts of the tire have separated, causing a buckle of the tire. The separation caused a bouncing rough ride. This is a safety issue when riding the vehicle and I believe eventually it would have blown. The two tires were replaced by Discount Tire under my extended warranty that I purchased with the tires. I did contact Nitto Tire and attempted to have them replace the remaining front tires, I believe they will be separating very soon. Nitto refused to replace the tires, due to the tires being over 5 years old. The tires are not worn and have 11/32’s thread. I believe Nitto has a problem with the tires separating and should be addressed.

  • NITTO CROSSTEK 2 TIRES
    - Cochran, GA

    Tire size 265/65/R17 In 8000 miles on a 2022 Toyota Tacoma, purchased new in August 2022, I have had two Nitto Ridge Grappler sidewall failures. Each has happened at highway speeds (55-60 mph) with adequate pressure (35 PSI). No objects or road hazards were encountered. Each tire displayed significant sidewall damage resulting in rapid loss of pressure (blowout). The passenger side front and driver side rear have both experienced the failure. This is a safety concern as a rapid decrease in pressure creates unstable driving conditions. So far, I have received no response from Nitto or Toyota regarding the failures. Instead, I am now required to purchase two new tires. I am concerned the other two will eventually fail on the sidewalls as well.

  • NITTO TERRA GRAPPLER G2 A/T TIRES
    - Myrtle Beach, SC

    275/60/20 tire size. Driving home the other night started noticing my truck felt wobbly. Thought it was just the road until the truck started violently shaking at around 60mph. VIOLENTLY shaking. Pulled off immediately and looked at the front, sides, rear end, etc. Checked the tires, rear passenger side was stolen in 1 spot, and around that spot in a very isolated area the tire was completely bald and had a large lump in it. Other 3 tires seem ok right now. Contacted manufacturer who directed me to fill out a form on their website to "try for a replacement.". Can't find receipts from purchase so that's no good. Took to local mechanic/tire shop who stated that the "tread separated from the tire.". Separation is approximately 1 foot long and 2/3 of the tire width. Bald spot runs along this lump/separation.

  • NITTO TERRA GRAPPLER G2 TIRES
    - San Antonio, TX

    My tires have only 5600 miles on them...Nitto 265/65R17's. I have my 5,000 mile service. They rotated the tires. A couple of days later I noticed my steering wheel shaking. I took it back to the dealership. They said my tires have High Road Force..only the two that were from the rear. They contacted Nitto, they will not replace the tires because they only cover the first 1/32 of the tires and Im at 2/32. There has to be something wrong with these tires to be so new and yet have this problem. My tires cannot be rotated because the two with the problem will need to stay on the back of the truck so as that my steering wheel wont shake.
