Trump caused a lot of economic woes for canada recently. Tariffs on the whole world...its now hard to support US products..why feed the dog that bites you...........sorry wont buy US products any more
john johnson you ever think it’s cause they dont make conversion kits cause toyota only makes 2 engines for their trucks? Toyota isn’t into aftermarket mods to engines for more horsepower either because people use them for work and daily drivers. Not performance
These tires are great. 20k on them still looking as new. I've used them on road at high speeds (120mph) no issues, also used them while climbing dunes and I didn't even need to air down. They have very good grip on every condition. Almost no noticeable noise and their aggressive looks its amazing. I would buy them again for sure.
I currently run Toyo MT 35s on Moto Metal wheels, I've always run them my last few tricks had 37s and 38s. I live in Washington so a place called Les Schwann had an exclusive on Toyos and they are outrageously expensive. A small tire shop just moved in next to me and I bought a set of "cheap" tires to put on a different set of wheels do the winter, they are Patigonias . I thought the would suck, they look loud a rough. I couldn't have been more wrong , they are the smoothest quietest mud tire I've ever run. I'm not sure what's next but definitely done with the Toyo MT.
I have 20k miles with these on my ram 1500 and they are wearing perfect. I rotate every 5k bring the rears to the front and cross the fronts to the rear. I have no complaints about performance in any condition. They're great on dry pavement, never had a problem with them in the rain even a downpour I don't feel any slipping, light mud and snow they're great. My only complaint is they will pick up small gravel size rocks and throw them all day long. So with any kind of negative offset you're going to mess up your paint, but it's all good.
I have them on a 2018 Ram 2500 Cummins(35x12.50x18). Super quiet and a good feel in dry conditions. Thing I don't like so much is lack of traction in wet and snowy conditions. The heavy front end of the Ram is planted, but the back end lets loose way too easy with the RGs.
I've had my Ridge Grapplers since Feb, 2017 and have put just under 80,000 miles on them. They still have lots of tread left. I'm sure I'll get 30k to 50k more with them easily. I drive a Toyota Tacoma with 265/70/17. Great tire and will purchase them again when it's time.
These tires look great but I'll never own another set. Mine are really slick in the rain. I never had the rear end of my truck kick out on wet roads in a low speed turn until I put these on my truck. Now, I have to be super careful in a turn on wet roads. I've also have a balancing problem with mine. I've had my wheels checked, no problems. We've checked them in 2 different shops on 3 different balancers and the machines say that all 4 tires are balanced but there is still a vibration at highway speeds. And because the machines show all 4 tires balanced, it's hard for us to tell which tire is causing the problem. I had hub centric rings installed made specifically for my wheels and this helped some but the vibration is still there at highway speeds. I had my truck inspected to see if something else was causing the problem and everything checked out fine. The problem didn't start until I put these on my truck. At just under 2000 miles on the tires, we contacted Nitto for a replacement set and they denied my request, claiming I waited too long. So now, I have a truck that drives just fine in the city, but vibrates every time I get on the highway.
The Walkin Dude im sorry to hear that. I cant believe nitto denied you with only 2000 miles on these tires 😡. Thats horrible customer service. These might be my first and last nitto tire. Sure they look cool but with a bad warranty guarantee and sketchy performance in the rain, it just seems like an overall shitty product.
@@juaninestroza4200 Thanks for the tip but I'm already aired down. Max pressure on my tires is 50 psi and I'm running at around 36-37 psi. I've called several places that sell and install these tires and that's the pressure they're recommending. I can understand airing down to go off road, but to suggest that I should air down even more just to drive on a wet paved road is ridiculous. I now have over 5000 miles on these tires and the problem still exist. I'll never own another set of Ridge Grapplers.
I’ve.had them all Toyo good tire to load don’t last. Tried these Ridge grapplers on 2017 F350 diesel sitting on nearly 50k miles and still have much left! Still no road noise best tires
I love the ridge graps on my f150. Best performing tire ive had to date. They are a lot quieter on road than i was expecting as well. Although I've got the borla atak cat back on my 5.0 v8 so i wouldnt hear the road noise much anyway 🤣
I have a few friends that run these. Only one actually like his. The other 2 complain about it hydroplaning in the rain and horribly bad in the snow after 15k miles. All 3 trucks have tread lugs that chunked out and fell off on the tires. I love the look of them but after seeing their experiences, i went with the toyo RT.
I just got rid of mine, they suck in the snow. They arn't suited for Canadian winters and not many people run them in Canada so hes talking out of his ass lol
@@jordanbezeau I just purchased them on my 2016 Tacoma but I have winter tires by Nokian running through April 1st funny thing I get better gas mileage with the snow tires than I do the Nitto's
@@liveyalife08 wet traction is great. However, they are not good in the snow. Great for everything else but i am disappointed about the snow. Other than that, theyre a great tire
Got my nitto 33x12.5 tires from you guys for my 2017 RAM 1500 laramie. Had them for 2 years now (Fuel wheels) and i love them. Good all around tires. Back to factory wheels tomorrow and BFG ko2's for winter.
Just bought some used wheels that came with nitto grapplers on them They are definitely worn and make a bit of noise now but still are quieter then some of the cheaper tires I have bought in the past
Love my Ridge Grapplers on my FJ Cruiser! Quiet and smooth on the street but nice and grippy out on the trails. Aired down, these tires crawl over practically anything. Not too mention, they seem to drive through snow pretty well.
It's coming up on a year since I put Ridge Grapplers on. I drive 66 miles one way every day for work. I drive on gravel road a few miles and mostly pavement. I have over 35,000 miles on them now and still PLENTY of treadlife left. Sitting on a 2500 ram.
Just put a set of 37x12.5x20’s on my truck after a set of Rough Countries and I feel like I’m driving on the streets of gold. You better have some gold , total with road haz warranty ran $2966 but worth every penny. Second set of Nittos and the only one for my truck from here on out🙏🇺🇸
@@jaywilliams8327 They feel really good they don’t do much noise after several miles on them they do start getting loud but nothing crazy I really like them
Just about to replace my Ridge Grapplers (35x12.5R20). They've lasted for 62K miles.... which is crazy. My Rocky Ridge Silverado has been full sent up test hill at Silver Lake over a dozen times, wheeled in the DBBB, and through some other really muddy trails in KY. Driven to work most the year and also towed a 28 ft camper on them. I'll definitely be installing another set, this time 37x12.5R17.
I bought them in stock size for my f150. I heard good things about them but I found them very poor in rain. My truck spins the tires very easily in the wet. Much more so than the factory tires.
Robb Evans my truck came with good years. Then I went to cooper snows, now the grapplers. The grapplers are the easiest to spin wet or dry. I don’t have high hopes for winter.
Tyler Proud You are not crazy. The same thing happened to me. Even under normal acceleration at traffic light or stop sign, i can feel my truck hydroplaning and slipping from lack of traction. My truck came stock with dynapro at2 and those gripped like glue in the rain. I wanted nitto because it looked cool and tough and had alot of good reviews but its absolute dog shit in rain and lord forbid ice
Agree 100%. The rear end of my truck never kicked out in a slow turn on wet roads until I put these on my truck. It surprised the hell out of me when it happened. Now, I have to be super cautious making a turn on wet roads.
thanks man I'm looking into off road tires and was stuck between. Kuhmo and Nitto. always worth paying the extra bucks to be satisfied. Nitto looks ore aggressive than Kuhmo too.
That close knit tread in the center of the tire will cause hydroplaning..I went with Cooper AT3 XLT on my truck. Super impressed with wet highway, dry highway, and mud performance. 13K miles and zero signs of wear.
I have a set too, or should I say my second set since 3/4 have been replaced due to delamination and all four of my replacements are also weather cracking within a couple years. Will never get coopers again. Off road traction is just meh too. Definitely don’t compete with my other duratracs on a different ride and getting the rgs in a weeks so we will see how they stack up too.
How would I you rate and describe the winter and snow performance of the RGs? I know you guys get snow out there. Really appreciate the feedback. I see a lot of different opinions on this.
@@trudeaumustgo1920 ummmm. Sorry not the Tundra sweetcheeks. Go check your Tundra options list again, not there... Tacoma. Yes. 4Runner. Yes. Tundra....ummmmmm, no.....
Im running 33’s x 12.5 Nitto Ridge Grapplers on my z71 2017 silverado on a 4” BDS Coilover Suspension lift and theydo just fine no complaints what so ever almost 10 k miles on them
@Trickz_43 I just put a 4" BDS Coilover on my 2018 Z71. Can you possibly attach a photo of yours? Thinking I want to go with this same size Ridge Grappler. Tks.
Got 40k+ on my set. Starting to get slick in the rain. Really liked these when I got them because they were not on everybody’s rig. Good for all around “road” use, but have found them to be terrible in the mud. They fill up fast and don’t clean out well. First experience in some slick mud with lugs filled bounced my rear quarter off a tree. Wasn’t pretty and and I was giving it hell to get down a road with limited use after a light shower. Looking for something different for my next set of shoes.
I wouldn't get these in areas of snow or rain. Had them on my truck in the Northeast. They are barely passable in snow and sketchy at best in the wet. maybe in a southern climate or if you plan on putting on a snow tire. They are great for everything else probably one of the best. I just wasn't happy with wet and snow performance and the odd thing I found in reviews is that it is pretty split down the middle. You can find 100 people that say they are the best and 100 that say they are the worst in wet and snow. This is pretty odd unless it's a quality control issue?
I have these in 35-12.50x20’s on my Jeep Gladiator. Top off doors off, tires are quiet. For this size I don’t think you can do better for overland camping and everyday driving.
24 k on mine and I would disagree about it being good in the rain they seem to slide / hydroplane....they are getting louder ...handle great at high speeds on the interstate...soso for off road..have the 295/55r20 on a 18 platinum tundra
Agree 100%. The rear end of my truck never kicked out in a slow turn on wet roads until I put these on my truck. It surprised the hell out of me when it happened. Now, I have to be super cautious making a turn on wet roads.
Yeah, they are honestly terrible on wet roads. I upgraded tire size and went from Wildpeak AT3Ws with 50% tread to Ridge Grapplers. 50% tread wildpeaks were grippier. After the switch I was immediately doing unintended burnouts when accelerating. From my experience, Wildpeak AT3W and KO2s are both better.
Just turned 35k miles on my 35" ridge grapplers and still have over half the tread left... should be able to get 65k miles out this set before the tread indicators
I put 50,000km of highway driving on my truck every year. I ride dirt bikes as well and about twice a week I spend 20ish minutes on logging roads, and I live in British Columbia Canada where we get snow a few months of the year. I currently have the 295/55/20 Toyo at2 xtremes. I have had them for 3 years and it’s FINALLY ready to replace them. I’m just curious how the ridge grapplers are compared to the at2 xtreme. I am considering moving up a bit in size to a 33x13.5r20.
Wait, what? The Ridge Grappler is made at the Toyo factory in White. Off hwy 411? I live nearby and work at a small factory in Cartersville. Dammit... one more reason all signs point to Nitto.
@@vsujones I have a set of 33s on my 2017 Tahoe, and live in New Mexico. Driven them thru mud, snow, rain flooded/muddy Arroyo's. I'm a little over 2 years on the same set, about 22-24k miles and they are very quiet on road and still give a good offroad performance. Especially with 4x4 they definitely are one of the best all around performance I've ever had. I'd say the other best comparable tires would be Toyo open countries. They also have a very aggressive side wall and look to them!!
Everyone I’ve talked to about which A/T tire is the best they all like the Nitto grappler but all have the same complaint not good in wet weather. Maybe they will fix that.
I cant find anything definite on which is quieter on highway between ridge grappler and open country at3. Does anyone have an answer to this that has actually had them both?
Hey, thanks for the video ... could you please comment on how these do on-road in the wet? I have A/Ts at the moment that are quite slippery so looking at getting new ones, and considering these Nitto Ridge Grapplers while comparing to Wildpeak AT3W and MAXIS RAZR AT811
Do you know what width those 37s are on that tundra in the video? Also what size wheel and offset is it? I would assume it has the 8 inch ready lift since it has 37s under it right? I heard Fuller say that this truck belonged to an employee of custom offsets.
I had them on our wrangler a few years back. Tire is awesome and quiet. Got great mileage and for being as wide as they were they were good in rain and snow. I would've bought them again but they didnt come in the size I wanted.
Im looking into buying the nitto exo grapplers for winter here in Montana, and the ridge grapplers for the summer. However, going that route gets really expensive. Would you recommend running just these all year round? I know you sort of touched on this in the video but just hoping you had a chance to experience both tires and could give me some clarity on this. Thanks.
I would like to know this as well. I'm in central Ontario, Canada we get a bit of snow here too. Love the ridge grapplers and the exos look amazing too. I would certainly like to run both tires as you said. What did you end up deciding to do?
@@patrickbass3118 I just figured I run down the blizzaks I have on my truck to get my money's worth for now and upgrade this summer. Although I have decided to go with the wrangler duratracs as a one stop shop tire when the time comes. I can deal with the loud road noise in the summer and from what I heard they are excellent in snow amd ice for the winter.
I have them on my RAM. Good tires but if you have a offset you will need mud flaps or big finder flares. Because these tires pick up every rock you drive over! They have ruined my paint! So it you like paint chips then these are great tires.
i’ve had ridge grabs on my silverado for around 15000 miles and they are about bald. I’ve done 8 small burnouts on them and I do like the tires. the mistake I made was I bought the XL load range tire, which only comes with about half the tread. if you buy these tires go with the 10 ply load range E. definitely worth the extra $250-$300 for 2 times the durability.
