Nitto Ridge Grappler review

“If you do the math on your current tire, the 295/60/20 Ridge Grappler, they are 33.93" tall. I put a set of Trail Blades on a customers truck a few weeks ago and they were 35 x 12.50 x 20 and once installed they actually measured 34.4" tall with 36psi in the tires.”

“Am on my 3rd set of Ridge Grapplers. the first on this truck and will be getting another set this summer. By far the best tire I have ever had. I go through tires like a fat boy does doughnuts. Run 35x13.50-20's on this truck and they not only have Actual 3 ply sidewalls which most do not but are smooth as glass on the pavement at 90 and take very little weight to road force balance. For me almost 1k round trop to the ranch in SE NM from DFW twice a month I have to have a great tire and so far these are the ticket for me and I have run them all pretty much from Geolander to the Pirelli Scorpion and everything in between including the MTR Goodyears an KM'2s Link to learn more about this tire. Nitto Ridge Grappler ? Hybrid Theory .”

I have also gone off roading relatively hard and performance is awesome.”

“Hmm. Your experience is way different than mine. I'm in the south east as well. By far the best all terrain tire that I have ever ran. My initial thought when reading your OP is you are running to much air pressure. I'm running 26 PSI on the road and 8 on the trail. PSI spec per NITTO via email. I have 30k on my set now. Rotate every 5k. I am at 15/32 for wear. Never, ever hydroplanned on tbe RG. But, I investigate wrecks for a living so.. 35X12.50 17 for reference..”

“Just bought my 1500 a few months ago and it has ridge grapplers on it. I noticed during the test drive that the wet traction was not great, and have confirmed since. Wet traction on take offs, or even hard acceleration while trying to pass or something on the highway can be problematic. The solution (if available) is to run in 4WD auto, which seems to help quite a bit. The tires look great and add some nice height to the truck but I will be considering other options when it’s time. I live in the PNW so wet roads are a thing. I wouldn’t say I feel unsafe because I don’t drive super aggressively.”

“The truck is great, but the ridge grapplers… not so much. Those were the worst tires i ever had and they almost killed me multiple times. I couldnt wait to get rid of them. They had nearly zero traction in any sort of wet weather. I had to drive around in 4 wheel drive any time the pavement got wet. Theyd break loose on me in rainstorms on the highway even going slower for the conditions. Not fun. Not good for a 17 year old in that large of a vehicle either”
