    I definitely prefer the Nitto over the Toyo in The hybrid, but I prefer the Toyo M/T over the Trail Grapper.

    Nitro Ridge Grappler is my favorite tire at the moment. Works great in all weather, and with aggressive look without the loudness on the road. I like how soft they feel as well.

    I have had two sets of 35 inch nitto ridge grapplers. I average about 70,000 miles per set. Very quite and nice ridding. It tows very well also. Both sets, the rear tires felt loose for first 2000 miles until they break in. I contacted nitto on recommended tire pressure for 2011 Duramax hd2500 and they recommended I run 57 psi in front and 67 psi in rear on my Duramax. I love these tires

    I ran the Nitto Trail Grapplers 35x12.5 R20s for over a year and absolutly britalized them on all kinds of terrain and especially rock crawliing and mud and I loved them, but they were sketchy AF on icy or wet roads and were relatively loud. I was going to switch to Hankook dynapro mt2's but the tire sales person made me an insane deal on five Nitto Ridge Grapplers and I couldn't say,"No".
    I have been very happy with them. First thing I did is take them rock crawling in teh rainy season so ther was also PLENTY of mud and they perfromed VERY well. The noise was vastly less than my Old MTs and the road performance was also MUCH better. I do think that the MT's had slightly better grip in mud and steep rock inclines, but these got me over all the obsdtacles I went over and I had no issues. I will stick with them and see how they wear which seemed a bit of an issue with the MT's. The Nitto trail garpplers still had PLENTY of tread and worked great, but the base of the rubber (empty areas between lugs) did develop some weird "dry rot" veining and cracks which was a little disconcerting. Those lasted me about 46k-50k miles before swapping them out, but they couldv'e easly gone another 20k. We'll see how these Ridge grapplers work out.

  • @Alvy541
    @Alvy541 3 года назад +1

    I have ran both on my 07 2500 duramax.
    Toyos we’re good tires, lasted about 15k miles less than the Nittos.
    Nittos were better on the icy roads in north east Oregon.
    RTs were quieter.
    Nittos were cheaper.
    After I made the switch to nitro ridge grapplers I haven’t looked back. On my 4th set and I love them.
    They could both be better in the ice and slush. They both will get pulled around badly in slush.

    I like the Ridge Grapplers, but had to ensure they stayed at 65 PSI on the fronts for my Dodge 2500. Any lower pressure and they would wear funny on each tread shoulder block. The alignment was spot on.
    I’m currently running Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs and prefer them over the Ridge Grapplers.

    Looks like the public has made the decision to choose the Nitto Ridge Grappler, as I am the proud purchaser of the LAST 4 of those tires available in the United States (as of April 2021). I had Nitto Terra Grappler G2s on my truck, which I just replaced with the Ridges. I have noticed NO loud noise on the road and the griping on paved turns is phenomenal. I bought the 315/70r17 size tires on custom rims with a 6" negative aspect. My ATs lasted me for over 50,000 miles and 5 years of freeway, dirt, and regular street driving, and I expect at least that from the Ridge Grapplers.

The 888 is a great tire on the street and good tire on the track I would argue the ra1 was a better track tire then the 888r but it was not a street tire. Then again a 60 rating vers 100 is all you should know. And to say the 888r is garbage shows you have no idea what your talking about.

    If you're not getting the mileage out of the Grapplers would you say its likely due to over inflation? I had a set of these and they just didn't last very long.

  • @larrymangold1048
    @larrymangold1048 4 года назад +2

    I have to disagree with your assessment. I have run Nitto Dura Grapplers, Nitto Terra Grapplers, Nitto Ridge Grapplers, Toyo Open Country AT, AT2 and RT. Every set of Nittos except the first set of Terras were a problem to balance and had out of round issues. The Dura's were replaced after 5 miles. I just tried Ridge Grapplers on my 2020 Power Wagon and I had one replaced immediately because it couldn't be balanced. After my first trip out of state, I had the Ridge Grapplers replaced due to vibration problems with Toyo AT2 which are smooth and run true. Every time I've had Nittos, I've had balance and vibration issues. All sets were replaced with Toyos and I've never had an issue. The Toyos have always balanced well, were smooth on the road and did well off the road. The Toyo R/T is my favorite by far and did very well in Michigan snow in 2018 and on the beaches of North Carolina's OBX (but I couldn't get the R/T this time as the closest set was 3000 miles away). All tires have been on my 2016 Cummins, 2018 Cummins and now my 2020 Power Wagon. I know it doesn't make any sense since both tires are sister company products, but the only thing I can think of is they use different carcasses. In fact, my dealer is now deleting the Ridge Grappler from his line up due to multiple issues and replacements. And yes, I've tried different pressures, but that can't overcome tire defects.

    • @JustDiesels

      @@JustDiesels Sorry about that. I wanted the R/T since that's what I had on my 2018 Cummins and they were awesome, but the dealer couldn't get a set. I accepted the Ridge Grappler and drove 1600 miles and was pissed the whole time (and that was after they already replaced one after 100 miles). When I got home, I called the dealer and had them replaced with the only Toyo they could find which was an AT2. The following day I drove 800 miles and they were smooth and a pleasure to ride on. When these are worn, I'll order the R/T once again.

    The R/T held up A LOT better for me in rockier, desert terrain. They aren’t snow rated, but mine did fine in snow. They also have a mud terrain carcass. The Ridge Grappler has an all-terrain carcass. The softer compound doesn’t hold up as well with big, sharp rocks. That’s my experience with both.

    A tire that addresses all the shortfalls of the ridge Grappler and yet no one seems to ever talk about is the EXO Grapplers. It's designed for HD trucks and has mountain/snowflake winter rating. I live in bc with lots of rain and some snow and every one I ask with ridge graps says they are sketchy in the wet. For this reason I bought the EXO Grapplers for my 2018 F350 6.7 to retain the aggressive looks of both the Toyo RT and ridge Grapplers but also that piece of Mind knowing they're going to perform well in the wet slushy conditions.

Really no off road besides regular camp sites etc. I would like to move up a size like 295/70/18 would that work with either tire brand? Torsion bars raised 2". Thanks for your opinion.

    Just a note... I have 6 month old Toyo's on the rear duals of my 40' RV. Toyo's stink!! I mean they SMELL like COW SHIT, I kid you not. It's been 6 months and if you walk by the tires you can really smell them. Just passing this info on. I would never buy Toyo's again and may in fact take them off and replace them with the Michelin's. I have Michelin's on the front and no smell whats so ever.

    I have a 05 ram 2500. I live in Oregon and work out of West Texas oilfields. I run a toyo open country a/t. They are 35/12.50/17 on a 3 inch lift/level. I’ve ran them in snow ice mud and sand . And if you have never experienced oilfield mud or wet “ caliche” worst mud I’ve ever been in!!! And I swear buy these. They work great in all above. They have good siping so in wet and icy conditions there great. The main reason why the 2 in this video lack in the wet / icy conditions is there is vary little siping so it’s like running a slick.
    So my advice is take it to a tire shop and ask about having more siping added or buy the open country a/t .. also I use my truck to pull a 10,000 pound travel trailer from job site to job site.

    For tire reviews, reviewers need to provide tread depth, and load rating. When people complain about poor traction in deep fresh snow (12 inches) or blowing a load C rated tires while pulling a trailer loaded with a SkidSteer at 70 mph on I-70 through the Rocky Mtns in January, we the readers need to know if the reviewer purchased the correct tire for their task. For my empty 6000 lb 4WD SUV I prefer quiet(NOT, I didn't rotate) Duratracs with low weight 45-50lbs (easy-on-suspension), 16 to 18/ 32nds tread depth for any kind of deep snow or slush. The new Destination XTs and Grabber XTs (terrible name) look good (quiet, great tread depth 16/32nds and snow traction, light weight for load rating).

    I was always told when putting that pressure into your tire whenever I max PSI is always run 5 lb under so the max is 40 I run 35 to 37 lb and also keep looking at my tires to see how the tread is wearing if it's wearing more in the middle or or the edges are getting worn down then I will adjust the air pressure so the tire is not copying or crowning when you're running on the highway that's also a good way to tell if they're running the correct air pressure

Mostly driving on highway and snow. 04 yukon Denali with always a good amount of weight in the back and I tow with it as well. Want the most longevity, best snow traction, and best stability and handling. The at2 I highly disappointed in with performance and treadlife.

    Had same dmax for 7 years. Started with bfgs then went to nitto mud grapplers, but being in north the mud grapplers sucked, ice: make sure your seatbelt was on lol, squishy sidewall when towing, didn’t perform well in snow unless I was in deep snow, then they really shined. Only ran them for 15k when I switched to ridge grapplers and had them for 30k ish now. Very happy with ridge grapplers. Quiet on Highway, good In snow, not quite the performance in snow like a duratrac, but they’re way quieter and don’t wear out as fast. I’d recommend ridge graps, they are very comfty towing and in ice/snow. Truck doesn’t see much mud so can’t give reviews on that.

    Good info! You covered all the key points. Ran the Toyo MT 33x12.5x20 on a tundra got 70k miles towing a travel trailer and light off road. I ran the RT's. Both were excellent. Once they wear - you will lose traction so take it easy on starts if in inclement weather. Now I have an F250 and have worn out the Michelin AT's2 and looking for a replacement. Thanks for the info this helps me make a decision.
