Hybrid Tires: Nitto Ridge Grappler vs Toyo Open Country RT
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 май 2019
- This is a comparison of the Nitto Ridge Grappler and the Toyo Open Country RT. I have seen several videos on the subject of hybrid tires. Not hybrid like a Prius but hybrid like a little more aggressive that an all terrain but less aggressive than a mud terrain. I think these are the two best examples. I think that the original hybrid tire was the Goodyear DuraTrac which I covered in my all terrain video. Check out the links below. Enjoy!

Finally some one who can review a tire, rather than repeat information. Thank you sir 👏
Thanks for watching!
Ya he’s great
He actually mentioned the importance of sidewall when aired down. This guy is legit
Thanks for the validation!
Hey man, I love the way you do the tire reviews. VERY straight to the point. You give me the exact info I want to hear instead of a bunch of filler like these videos. Keep up the great and consistent work. God Bless!
Almost a year later, and you just helped me make up my mind! Thank you sir!
Awesome!
I like the Nitto tire. And it is nice to see you back and sharing tire videos again.
Thank you!
Perfect, closed that deal in my mind. Getting current stock tires replaced next week with the RG and a 2.5 leveling kit. Can't wait.
Awesome!
I have Ridge Grapplers on my 2016 Tacoma. I do a lot of all around driving and weekend off-roading. They are great for everything I have asked of them.
jobie woolsey I’m planing on installing a 3” lift kit on my Tacoma 2011 and getting the Nitto Ridge Grapplers but I don’t know if the 285/70/18 will fit and not rub; what size of wheels and tires do you have.
Awesome. Thanks for the real world feedback!
Thanks for the close ups on the two sidewall block patterns on the Ridge Grappler.
No problem 👍
I had both the R/T (33x12.5r18) & the Ridge Grapplers (285/75r18) on my 05 CrewCab F150 Lariat, and now have the ridge graps on my 15 Sierra.. The R/T's were fantastic for the first 10-15K miles, but then quickly became slicks on anything other than drive pavement. They were extremely dangerous in the rain/light snow, and despite their aggressive knobby's they would just dig into the ground anytime you were in some light mud.. After 45K miles & one wreck in the rain later, I decided to put the Ridge Graps on. Their handling (wet & dry) characteristics blew me away right off the bat, and I could immediately tell that they were in another league of their own. Made my 05 feel like a sports car during this rainy winter despite having 190K miles on it with all original OEM parts (ball joints, control arms, etc.) that were so worn the ball joints could've fallen out... I even had a set of the original TA/KO's on my 05 before the R/T's, and they couldn't have even begun to hold a candle to these newly engineered Ridge Graps (2016 release). I now have them on my 15 Sierra (285/65r20), and haven't looked back. If you value your families safety in the rain and simply want the best tire money can buy, then buy the Ridge Graps. Great video, and kudos to whoever read down this far!
Dry Pavement* - line 3
Thank you for the feedback. I'm glad to hear they have fixed some of the issues.
Randy Palmer interest that you say that cause I have Toyo R/T’s 33x12.50r18 on a 2016 tahoe with 30k miles on them and 55% tread life left in them and I’ve never had an issue with them in pouring rain never lost traction in rain and they are great in dry no breaking issues they are a tad stiffer then a regular street tire but the only time they ever lost traction is when I turn traction control off and floor it other then then that it doesn’t spin in rain or dry unless you make them spin they have been a phenomenal tire for me because they are more aggressive then an at and still are very quiet toad manners but performed good on mud sand dirt and hot ass Texas weather and shitty roads I just have an extremely hard time believing what you say cause of my experience’s with the tire especially since they are the exact same rubber compound
I have the Toyo Open Country A/T on my 09 Lariat and I love them...
Jacob Gooch did you have to put a leveling kit on your 15 gmc and also did your fuel mileage change with the 285/65/ 20 ridge grabs I have 17 gmc and was thinking about buying a set of these tires
Very informative again. I like the way you explain tires because I know nothing about them.
Thanks!
I just got back from getting two replacement Ridge Grapplers on the rear of my 2500 Ram Diesel. I use these a little more aggressively than most would. I do rally recovery work and long distance extreme rallying. I originally got these from Nitto as a sponsor for one of the events, (Alcan 5000) they weren't what I ordered, but I couldn't be happier with these tires. I came from Toyo ATII and it's night and day as far as traction is concerned. I am working as heavy recovery in Merritt BC this weekend for the Pacific Forest Rally. They are forecasting snow, but I won't need to switch to the Blizzaks for this little bit. These and a set of chains will get me anywhere except on ice. When we do Alcan work in the winter, I'll still keep my Blizzaks.
(Edit) Just returned from the rally I reference above. Snow in every stage and really slippery mud, these tires were predictable and stable the entire way. I pulled several rally cars out of ditches and banks and never pulled out the chains or any other traction devices. These are seriously rally approved!
Awesome! I have a friend named Scooby that does the same thing. He uses the Ridge Grappler on his Denali dually
I see this post is 2 years old, and I live on Vancouver Island, and just wondering if you still like the Ridge Grapplers in the snow.... looking to put them in my son's first jeep.
An excellent and thorough review, thank you. What a beautiful workshop! Based on this review, looks like Ridge Grapplers are the choice for me. They look awesome.
Glad it was helpful!
Great video, been searching all day for tires and you just helped make up my mind!
Awesome!
2 years late to the party but I gotta say after watching countless tire reviews and comparisons, this was the best one. Very informative. I currently run the Nitto’s on my Ram 2500, they have about 15k miles on them and they seem to be holding up good. I’d say they’re at 50%. The Nitto’s are a Great off road tire. I’ve taken them off road a lot and they do great. They’re not great in the snow, however. The next set I’m gonna run are the Toyo Open Country RT. I wanna compare the two off road, in the snow, ect. If I don’t like the Toyo, I’ll go back to the Nitto. Really Great Video!
Thanks for watching!
Just ordered some ridge grapplers for my frontier. Can’t wait!
Let me know how it goes!
I just ordered a replacement set of Open Country RT's for my '17 F350 Super Duty in 37x13.50R20. I currently have over 91,000 kms (56,5xx miles) on them, and they've still got about 25% tread left. Unfortunately, they wont get me through another winter...so its new tire day! These have been great tires, not overly loud, great grip in many conditions including snow (even though they're not snow rated). Running 55 psi all around, and having been rotated twice in their life, they've worn completed even. Highly recommend these tires! Great review Campus.
Awesome! I appreciate the real world feedback.
Just ordered those toyos in 35x12.5x20 for my lifted 2011 Ram 1500 just this second. Can't wait!
Awesome!
I'm really pleased with my nitto ridge grapplers .... Had em for about a year
Cool
Thanks for the video I’m getting the ridge grappler on my new Toyota Tundra Sport for sure now
Awesome!
I’m also looking at new tires for my tundra , truck has 124k on it . How do you like the ridge grappler?
@@MrMharley there the best tires I have ever had on a truck quiet and lots of grip when needed
Another awesome vid! I much prefer these down to earth videos to the flashy ones from the guys at Custom Offsets.
Thanks!
Will be running the Nittos on my 2500HD. 5" lift with 22x10's. Super excited!
Awesome!
@@CampusautoCo Done and on the road!
I have the exact same size Ridge Grappler you reviewed on my 2017 f250 powerstroke. I have about 10K on them now no problems and they look very good on the truck as well!
Cool
I just had a set of P285/70/17 RTs mounted up to replace Toyo AT2(This tire misbehaves in heavy rain and easily hydroplane). In terms of heavy rain, the Toyo RT's grip very well. I tried unsuccessfully to make them hydro plane and its clear the tires grip increases in the wet and has good water channeling.
Thanks for the real world feedback!
Great video, I had the ridge grapplers on my 2018 Frontier had 17 k when I traded the truck in.Tires looked like they didn’t no more than 5 k on them. But I rotated the tire every 5 k. Just bought another set for my new F-150. .
Awesome!
Came from running Toyo OC M/T to the Ridge Grappler on my Tundra (7” BDS lift). World of a better ride and hot dog they get it almost even if not better than the Toyo M/T. They clean themselves out very well. Very informative vid and well done. Thanks for the education on these newer hybrid big boy tires.
Right on!
I have racked up almost 50k miles on my 17 F250 CCLB Powerstroke running 35x12.50 18 Ridge Grapplers and still going. Great tires...will be getting a new set before next winter. One bit of advice...I had a lot of tire squirm when they were installed and they were aired up to stock factory specs @ 65psi. I called Nitto and they sent me an inflation chart based on weight...aired down to 50psi and tires were much more stable!!
Oh man. I had no idea that they would do that.
The info came out of “The Tire and Rim Association, Inc” load limits chart it’s based on tire size/load limit/tire pressure
Nice video! I went with the Nitto Ridge Grapplers on my Silverado and I love them!
Right on!
I went with 33” Ridge Grapplers on ‘05 4runnner. I’m pleased so far. Quiet for how aggressive they are, with a pleasing sound in my opinion. And I think they look tough! 😂
Cool
I had the ridge grapplers on my 2019 Colorado zr2 and recently swapped to the Toyo. I'm running a 275 70R17 for both and am very pleased with both tires. I personally felt the ridge grapplers wore out a little quicker than the toyos have so far but you can't go wrong with either. The toyos were easier to get ahold of at the time as well
Right on
I had shop order ridge grappler, one came in defective, so I actually went with the Toyo rt instead. I'm glad I did.
Good to know. Thanks for sharing.
I have the ridge grapplers on a Tacoma. Mostly on road and occasional off road, Baja, and they are outstanding. I’ve had them for about 15000 miles now. Wearing even and tons of tread left. Slight humming noise but it’s a hybrid. Does very well in snow and wet weather.
Cool
Are you running 10 ply or 6 ply? I’m having a helluva time with tire balance and steering wheel wobble at freeway speeds on my 2016 Tacoma with the 10 ply. Just exchanged for the 6 ply and getting installed tomorrow.
Great video review of tires, thanks for your help 👍
I just purchased a set of the
R/T IN A 37 FOR MY 2015 JEEP THANKS FOR THE HEADS UP
Right on!
Very informative, thank u from Australia 🇦🇺
Thank you so much for watching! I’d love to visit Australia some day and do some off-road driving.
Running Ridge grapplers on my Jeep JL , and there’re great !!! Awesome on the wet, snow, mud ... very happy, only drawback is the weight a ton .
Yeah , I noticed that.
They are heavy because of the quality.
I’ve been running back and forth through multiple forums the last few months trying to contemplate what tire I wanted to run. Thank you for your break down of my two options. It really helped me finalize my decision to Nitto. Once they come in and I install I’ll give you some more feedback.
2019 Ram 2500
20x9 +12mm
37x12.50
Do the Nitto Ridge Grappler
20x10 +12 would be much better for getting the width of that tire to the pavement or dirt.
I have a 2017 f350 with nitro RG’s
35x13.5 20r, F rated. I have about 30k mikes on them and I can’t complain. I tow pretty often about 10k-20k. When I tow I’ll air them up to 70psi and when not towing, air down to 53psi and it’s a smooth ride! Definitely gonna buy them again!
Nice
I have the nitto’s m/t. They have done me well! Will be trying out the nitto ridge because I no longer need the m/t.
Awesome!
@@CampusautoCo nitto m/t “for the guy that has a lifted truck but doesn’t go off-road” one of your best quotes
I ran a set of Toyo R/T’s on my Tundra the last 5 years. Got over 71K miles on them. Great tires in rain and snow and mud. Just ordered another set!
Andrew Downes are they quiet
scott smith - they were a little louder than stock all terrains, but no where near as loud as a mud tire. They are quieter than I anticipated. 👍🏻👍🏻
They are a pretty good Hybrid Tire.
@@scottsmith6571 they suck for street I have em on 2018 ram rebel very dangerous in the rain and there loud
vanessa M ty guess I’m going wit the tried an true Toyo at
I just bought Nitto RGs for my 2001 Tacoma with a 3” lift. Quiet, excellent looks and tons of compliments. 275/70/18. No rubbing. No regrets.
Awesome!
I was told by a manager at Big O that the Nitto and Toyo are built in the same factory with the same compounds. Tread design, appearance, and function would be the reason to pick one over the other. I am getting a set of R/T's installed today on my Duramax. I spend a lot of time aired down in the sand, hunting the mountains and harsh rocky / muddy / snowy terrain of Utah. The R/T looked to have a slightly more aggressive tread for mud and snow cleanout. No wrong choice on those two options in my mind.
No choice is wrong on this. I'm not exactly sure they are made at the same plant. They do have the same ownership.
I was considering these but I had ST Maxx that got noisy like an MT so I didn't want to that happening again. I decided to go with another tire you recommended..General Grabber ATX. So far I like it.
Awesome!
I got the nitto ridge grabbers. I’m a 54k miles so far on my 6.7l F-250 and still have ~40% thread. Best tire I’ve had on her so far. Towing moderate weight 3-4 days per week between my inclosed and open trailers. I’ll be replacing them with the same tire when due...
Thanks for the feedback!
I run the the nitto ridge grappler. I love them. Quiet and great off road. I have Chevy 2500HD. I also pull a good size 5wheel. About 14k lbs.
The Ridge Grappler is a great tire for that. They are very strong and are able to withstand heavy loads. Especially in larger sizes.
Whats the load type on your notto grappler's?
I'm running these Nittos on my Ram 2500 and like them so far. 55k miles at this point, but starting to get slippery on wet streets. I do a fair amount of towing, up to 15k# and handling is great. Don't love side walls, but rest of features are great.
Royce Gaida damn im glad to see that I just put a set of 37s on my Ram Power Wagon 👍thanks
How’s humming on highway?
Typical for all terrain, but less than Toyo AT2
Thanks for the real world feedback!
I love my nitto ridge grapplers 35x12.50r20!
Cool. Thanks!
I have a 18 F150 ecoboost and got some Ridgegrapplers. About 15,000 miles into the tire life I lost all traction in the rain. Just went with the Toyos today, after 65,000 miles on the nittos. I must say, I never got stuck with the Nittos.
Toyo 35 12.50 20's on my 2018 f350. Very impressive on slick rds.
Nice
My Toyo Open Country R/Ts are now a little over 5 years old with 45,000 miles, and they have (and still are) holding up well, but I'll be replacing them soon due to age, but still lots of tread remaining.
Awesome!
Just bought the Nitto Ridge Grappler for my 2017 Ram 3500. I've been a BFG K02 fan for years. Nitto just beat BFG. These are the best tires I've ever put on my truck and they are quite.
Awesome. Thanks for the feedback.
Both great tires. I’ve ran them side by side on near identical trucks. And I’ve ran both more than once. Overall I prefer the RT; they’ve held up better as far as mileage as well as less chunking on shitty oilfield roads. I do think the ridge grappler looks a little better but I’ve put both tires through the ringer and the RT just flat out performs no matter what you throw at it. 60-80k miles under f250/350’s with a lot of rough roads and towing miles on them. 35-50k on the ridge grapplers. Can’t go wrong either way. I’m ready to try out the new RT trail next though!
We have a Toyota Prado in Australia. We have had 275x65xR18 Nitto Ridge Grapplers fitted to the vehicle almost 6 months ago. Which are a shade under 33" Tires. They perform well on road & are fantastic off road. I highly recommend them for a surf chasing family wagon, that can tow a camper trailer into hard to get to spots on the coast & will replace them with the same tires unless Nitto come out with something even better when they come to the end of their life.
Awesome. Thank you!
So do you run them in deep sand?
@@stephenj8576 Yes, we let them down to around 24psi, as not to damage the trails or the beach & they go great. We have an LSD in the rear & the front is an open diff with a locker that we've only had to use once.
I've got the Ridge Grapplers on my FJ Cruiser for two years now. They are great off road and I have not experienced any chunking of the tires. I just would like to have better snow traction for the mountain winters in Colorado. Needs more siping.
I agree. That why they aren't three peak snow rated.
I have the Toyo open country on 2015 Sierra 1500 currently with 76 K miles on them. Getting the Ridge Grabbler tomorrow!
Awesome!
Why would you change after getting that kind of mileage out of the Toyos? Just wondering, I'm trying to choose between these two tires. Thx
Matt,
Enjoy watching your tire reviews! Solid analysis.
Please review Mastercraft Courser CXT tire, outstanding hybrid tire. Thx!
Awesome content and well detailed. I'm definitely getting a pair for my TACO...😎🤘
Thank you!
I currently have 47k on Toyo Rt 286/75/17 on a 2010 ram 3500 diesel. I tow daily a 10k lb trailer, and also tow a skid steer, and dump trailer into the landfills. These tires have been downright perfect. 95% of my driving is done with something in tow. That being said it’s time for new tires, and I’m thinking of going with the nittos just to try something new.
Try that Yokahama X-AT
35x12.5x18 Ridge Grapplers on a 2015 Ram 3500 4x4. Full time RVer towing a 35’Bighorn 5th wheel. 37,000 miles total on them with about 25,000 in tow miles. Looking great with rotating between 5-7000 miles. Hope to get at least 50,000 out of them. No chunking and they are quiet. Truck is used off road looking for those lost fishing holes! Lil extra weight on the front with a heavy duty bumper and winch and extra weight in the rear with a hitch and 50 gallon fuel cell. The tires are definitely holding up to the additional weight!
Awesome! Thank you for the real world feedback.
Great in depth video 👍 I'm putputting R.G. my wife's 19 VW ATLAS 20 inch wheels.
Think hard on that. It will significantly impact the ride of an Atlas.
@@CampusautoCo it a 4motion all wheel drive and we are staying with the same factory tire size. What should I be aware of?
I think that they will be louder and ride a little rough on an Atlas but at the end of the day, try them out and see how you like them.
@@CampusautoCo yes absolutely if they are horribly bad I will definitely look at other options either way I will let you know 👍 Subscribed and following 🍻
@@eclipseautotint wondering if you got the tires yet, as looking to put on wife's '17 VW Touarge?
I’m running Dueler AT Revo 3’S and can’t believe how quiet they are. Also looking at Open County Xtreme
Nice!
I would argue Kelly started the segment back in the 90's with the MSR. They still sell the TSR now, which predates the Cooper ST Max. I have run the St Max on work trucks and didn't care for them. Still better than a slick though. The Kelly TSR's are a hidden gem. They are a 60-70,000 mile tire on a 1/2 ton pickup. At least they were for me (owned two sets). They are good on the road and never had me wishing i had more tread void in sticky mud. I would highly recommend you review them. That said i am looking for something new for my new truck which has 20" wheels and the Kelly TSR doesn't come in 20" sizes. I am strongly considering one of these two in the video.
True.
Goodyear Duratracs are the most aggressive looking A/T you can buy. Have right at 60k on mine. They are 10 ply though. Will be getting another set soon. Awesome tire.
Good year sux
@@sschevmale24 These tires dont. And they look better than whatever you're running.
Duratracs are probably considered the first hybrid tire made. I like them.
too bad they suck and dont look that great
Thank you for the video👍🏻🇺🇸
Our pleasure!
thanks for the info!
My pleasure!
I'm sold on the nitto tire now. Cheers.
Sounds good!
@@CampusautoCo just had them installed. Super comfy ride.

Let me know how they do.
@@CampusautoCo I will
Kinda late but here we go!! I buying my 2nd set of ridge grappler awesome tire!! Silverado 1500 2018 I got 55K miles on the tires most highway and construction sites, no loud noice no damage no patch no air leaks no nothing I usually rotate the tires every oil change and the wear and tear was just fenomenal
Good information
Thanks
My pleasure!
I had the ridge grapplers on my old truck, I have to say that they are great and quite, but when you take am off ramp with speed they sound like MT tires. I park on gravel so gravel use to get stuck between the grooves. I saw that they were wearing out faster but can't really Blake it on the tires because my alignment was shot. Overall I am going to get them again for my new truck.
Cool. Thank you for the real world feedback!
I love these Hybrid tires
Now I go off road in my Prius Hybrid these were designed for
17 tundra 1794. 3/2 lift upper control arms. I have the nitto’s. The had a funny wear on two of them like a flat spot. Less then 3k miles discount tire replacement. No burn outs or jumping the truck just drive road and beach. Traction is good in rain and dry conditions on the beach 80 miles of just beach round trip excellent soft deep sand with 4x4. Other than the two wearing funny great tire.
I hear you. Keep them rotated or they will cup.
I had Mickey Thompson ATZ’s back in 2007 and I they’d been on the market a while before that. As far as I know they were the first “hybrid” tire
I think you are correct.
@@CampusautoCo And they roll and sound like a Tractor Tank ...Tracks ..
@@CampusautoCo When were the Cooper ST Maxx tires introduced?
Excellent video. I learned a few things so thank you. I own a 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon with an AEV 3.5" lift. I ran the Toyo Open Country R/Ts 35x12.5x17s for ~2years -20k miles and they performed great. I sold them recently and now I am running the Nitto Ridge Grapplers in the same size. I don't know why but it feels like a stiffer tire and seems to have a bit more road noise. Off-road performance is about the same. Thanks for taking the time to compare the two tires. I think the are both excellent with very few small differences.
Thanks for the real world feedback!
Thanks. U helped me make up my mind. Hooaah
My pleasure!
Couldn’t decide between nittos and RTs both great looking tires i think nittos have aggressive side wall while RTs are more aggressive on tread went with RTs for personal vehicle but have Nitto Ridge Grappler on work truck no complaints for either tire.
Brick Killed a Guy!!
Which tire is smoother and more quite in your opinion.
I think the Nitto is more Quiet to be honest.
I agree!
I have Nitto Ridge Grapplers on my 2015 F-150 5.0. 275 70R 18 and I love them. Great on trails, mud, water and street. Have 10k miles on them and they look like new. Only downside is I get 2 miles to the gallon less. But worth it to me!
I don’t think I’ve heard or read anything but good about either of these tires, especially the Ridge Grappler. I’ve heard & read that they’re very quiet for what they are. I’m surprised that the Ridge Grappler isn’t 3-peak rated whereas the Toyo C/T is; the Ridge Grappler appears to have quite a bit more siping.
I have heard the same thing.
Just switched from toyo MT to Nitto RG. The nittos do well in the snow but I feel like the MT had a little more bite in the snow. Hard to say for sure though as the snow is always different each week. Overall i do like them better though. Better cornering and quieter on the road, with strong, predictable off road bite.
Thanks for the feedback!
I just got the 275/55/20 Nitto Grapplers on my 2016 4Runner I hope they do good all around
You will be fine.
Went from the nitto trail grapplers to the the nitto ridge. 35x12.50x20. The ridge grapplers are amazing and perform perfectly on wet roads. I will stick with this model tire from here on out!
same here...i had Trails on my truck first but didnt like them, they were too noisey, so i switched to the Exo Grapplers and they have been great! They (just like the ridges) are a perfect happy medium for guys like myself that do alot of highway driving as well as a little offroad
How have they done from a wear perspective? Trying to get an idea how they will do mileage wise compared to the RTs
I hear the Ridge Grapplers do NOT do well on wet pavements. Wanted to run them but I have to have something that is good in the wet and winter conditions.
They’re terrible in the rain, an honestly, they suck in the snow too. Not sure why there so popular. That being said not many m/t or hybrid are good in the rain, but as far as snow, there are much better out there. As far as mileage and quietness out of tire. It doesn’t get much better than the ridge grappler, I’m switching back to wrangler duratracs after my nittos wear out
@@hulbert87 I've gotten mixed opinions on Duratracs, some say they're great in snow but not in rain and visa versa. Was really hoping the Nitto R.G.'s were gonna be good at least for something in bad weather. Their measurements and look are great. You seem to like them, what do you think?
Love my r/t on the 250.
Nice
Thank you
My pleasure.
Purchased a 2014 tacoma back in 2014 and replaced original tires right out of the Dealer. first set of toyo rt tires lasted me 65k miles second set lasted me another 65k miles just started my 3rd set and i could not say enough about these tires. no road noise, no flats never let me down in the rain, never let me down in the Snow(own a cabin in the snowy mountains) everytime i have replaced the tires it is because i deemed i had gotten enough out of them, not because i they looked like shit.
Awesome!
I am currently running on Toyo R/T Jeep JLU 2018 and man they are good off-road. My next set of tires would be Nitto Ridgegrapplers I just want to see the difference between them
Look at the Yokohama X-AT too
@@CampusautoCo I kind of hated my Yokohama geolander at
I got toyo rt n i think they are the best also they look amazing
Awesome!
I’m on my second set of toyo rt and I’ll never switch to anything else put them on my ml320 and it changed everything
Good info
Glad it was helpful!
Personally have a set or R/T’s they are phenomenal hands down best tire I’ve had, I have put them through everything but snow and did great never got stuck with them but you have to get the tires spinning to eject better but it’s expected because they aren’t a true mt I have 30k on them and I have plenty of life on them still personally I’d recommend them over the nittos for offroading because the shoulder lugs are a lot more open and the tread blocks are just a lot more spaced out in general only down side is the sidewall isn’t as aggressive as I’d like it to be it’s very mild it doesn’t scream off road and I think that’s the only down side this tire
I agree about the sidewall. For a hybrid tire the sidewall looks pretty weak. I have KO2 right now and they have a more aggressive sidewall. But these RTs will be my next set of tires.
Right, I bought me some General Grabber X3's too much for me and my truck. Going to Nitto Ridge Grappler, thank god for America's tire 30 day exchange. No hassles. Just switching. If you want off road or something that screams off road? Look into General Grabber X3. Thank you!!!
Right on.
Nitto RG’s on a 2019 4runner TRD ORP. Great so far
Awesome!
Kaine K how lousy are they at highway speeds? And is there much vibration?
Snack Pack highway speed is great. 80 smooth no vibration
Thanks! This helped tremendously. What size Nitto will fit under my Ram 2500 4x4 on the stock 18” wheel? Is so ready to get these stock firestone tres off.
I think you can do a 35 on the stock rim.
Would like to see a comparison between the bfg ko2, nitto terra grappler g2, and nitto ridge grappler. Please show the sidewall as well. Ive pretty much narrowed it down to one of these in a 275/70r18 e rated/10ply.
I guess it depends on what you need. I would do K02 1st, Ridge Grappler 2nd, and G2 3rd.
The Tera Grappler goes forever, hard to wear them out. The Ridge Grappler is a better off road tire.
The Dick Cepek FC II's were sort of a hybrid. AT tread pattern on an MT carcass. Had them for a couple years on my Xterra and they were decent. Definitely not a mud tire though.
True
Would the Toyo Open Country R/T 35sx12 with a 6 inch lift kit be good for a 2005 dodge Ram 1500 2WD with a 4.7 Liter v8?
I will only run Toyos, I had 33x12.50-20 m/t and got 80k miles out of them. Now I’m running the Toyo r/t and have about 25k miles on them and they still look brand new.
How quiet are they on the highway?
bigmenswagger compared to mud grapplers they are completely silent lol. The rt tires are pretty quiet tho, I can cruise with the windows down and not be bothered
Awesome!
Hey Matt " Great comparison on these two tires, but I would like your professional advice on the Hankook Dynapro MT2 and the Nitto Ridge Grappler because I have 2020 F250 Super Duty that comes with the Factory Michelin tires. I take this truck off roading in deep snow and mud for two weeks straight when we go deer hunting. After hearing your advice about the Hankook MT2. I'm on the fence post between the two tires.
Try the Hankook!
my ridge grapplers are completely worn down and bald in 29k miles. im a very spirited driver but still expected a little more out of them. the offroad performance was good when there was still tread.
Awesome!
Future reviews: Maxxis Razr MT, Milestar Patagonia MT, Dick Cepek Extreme Country & Fun Country. Thanks!
Dick Cepek coming soon!
Can I fit a 33x12.50 nitto ridge grappler with a 2” suspension lift on a 2020 F-150 xlt 4x4 without having to cut any of the crash bars will those tires fit?
Yes
Got a set of the RT’s on my titan road noise isn’t bad performance in the mud was good ! The only con I’ve found is not good on icy roads as some other tires.
I could see that. They don't have as much siping as other tires do.
What tires are better on icy roads? also drive a titan on 35maxxis mts
I bought my 2020 Tundra xp and they had ridge grappler on it. They rode well however I did a little research and for my Tundra that has a 1 to 1.5 lift on it the Recon grapplers are a little better for me. I drive tons of highway but then my final destinations are dirt backroads and construction sites. I have found that they have very limited noise and I can talk on my phone without having to raise my voice. I also found that they wear well. I will repurchase either one. I currently have 275/65/20s on there now.
I just put Nitto Ridge Grapples on my F150 and I can't believe how bad they are on wet roads...I can spin the tires at 40mph if I punch it..they look cool but really suck on wet roads
Im ready to make a switch for wet winter roads in IN. any suggestions?
