Nitto VS Toyo || Battle of the Hybrids 

Check out the Toyo Open Country HERE: bit.ly/2KMLqdh Check out the Nitto Ridge Grappler: bit.ly/2pLdVkn

I worked for Toyo tires north America for 6 years mixing rubber. Nitto and toyo are made on the same machines from start to finish. Raw materials,construction on the tire building machines, curing and final inspection are all the same. Just get the nittos. But honestly though Toyo open country tread wear is mind blowing to say the least. I purchased a set for my buddy's Colorado with the employee discount. He had 70,000 on them with plenty and I seriously mean plenty of tread remaining.

The toyo needs the nittos sidewall and it would be perfect. I like the look of the RT but I like the aggressive sidewall of the nitto 😆

I went with the Nitto Ridge Grapplers. Love em, good in the snow and always get compliments.

They need to update the sidewall on the Toyo rt! If they had an aggressive sidewall they would look amazing.

I have 33” ridge grapplers and love them. I spend most of my time in my truck on the highway but take it off onto some off road spots and they perform fantastic in both environments

Recently switched from toyo to nitto on my Tacoma. I like them both. Learning a whole lot i never knew about tires from this channel. Keep doing great work!.

Can you do interior decibel reading on the most popular tires with the same vehicle.

Living on a dirt road with winter snow, I chose the 33” 285/75-16 Ridge Grapplers for my Cummins. Good in snow, rain, hardpack and better in mud than the typical all season/terrain tires. I have never seen a tire resist hydroplaning as much as the Ridge Grapplers. Quiet and good mileage. Update Feb 2022: The Ridge Grapplers began to wear unevenly. Alignment and balance was checked OK. Replaced with Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac’s and after 30,000 miles good, even wear, quiet and more durable than the Ridge Grapplers.

Both really awesome tires. Ridge grappler gets my vote for the super quiet ride and the more aggressive look.

Ive got 56k miles on my 35" toyo open countrys on my 17 super duty and still have a was to go. I don't drive like a kid though. Got them from Custom Offsets about 3 years ago.

I haven’t seen anyone talk that fast since my first wife caught me in Vegas with her younger sister (27).

Its nice they looked into the hybrid tire as many ppl like the aggressive look of the m/t tire

i got the ridge grapplers, i off road, 4x4. they are damn good tires. my next set will be rg.

I’m reasonably sure this guy just slammed about 3 gallons of coffee.

I have the Ridge Grapplers on a 12 Ram 1500 with 65K on them... That’s about where it’s gonna stop though... Got into sum rain the other day and she wants to slide around a lil bit... So it’s time for another set... BTW, been off-road quite a bit with them, no problems!!!

I have the Nitto’s on an F-250 and I don’t feel that they’re loud. I had Wrangler MT/R’s at one point and those were obnoxiously loud.

I drive a 17’ F350 and put 47k miles on the RT’s .. They are s good tire they are nice and quiet on highway, but they’re not the best on snow and ice. Just put a set of ridge grapplers on. They are just as quiet on the highway and they are much better on snow and ice. Time will tell on longevity.

My dad got some on his 17 f250 since 0 miles and his at 50252 miles and they still have plenty of life left in them would definitely recommend the toyos

Love my Nitto Teragrappler II, 35" x 12.5 I got 90K miles on last set.

I had both. Both awesome! I may lean a little more towards nitto ridge...

I bought a set of Toyo Open Country R/T 33 x12.50 from these guys in 2017. I rotate on the reg and have 72000 miles on them. Still plenty of tread. I will say they stick to the road well and have no issues in the mud, sand, or rain (no snow in FL). They are on a 2014 GMC 1500 Z71. I tow pretty regularly a couple different small boats. I’m about to buy another set as they seem to be dry rotting on some of the edges. I’m no tire expert, but I have owned plenty of much lesser tires. IMHO I will be hard pressed to buy any other tire for my trucks. Ill be glad to answer any questions regarding my ownership of these tires.

I got toyos to be like ken block!

I have the toyos open country on my truck. Sadly, it’s time to replace them lol but I got 55,000 miles on them so it’s not too bad. But I’ll stick to toyo mainly because of the warranty...but I know they last pretty well.

Toyo Open Country's All Day hands down!

Nitto rocks...80psi....two changes in 80k miles, I tow a 8700lb camper. Recommend nitto g2.

I got 80,000 miles on a set of open country 35 inch tires on my Jeep jku 2015 and they are amazing got a new set 20,000 miles ago and look like they were put on my Jeep yesterday

Just fyi for the toyo, I had a set of 33s on my half ton chevy, I had 70k+ on them before I bought new ones, I could've went farther on them but I started having cupping issues due to my shocks going bad. I could've went 100k I bet if my shocks wouldn't have had problems. Awesome tire!

I have 45k miles on a set of 33x12.50r18 Toyo R/T and they still have 9/32nds of tread

Please do a video explaining the load indexes

Went to the Nitto Ridge Grappler from the BFG KO2 and I’m way happier. They ride better and look better.

The only issue I have with the Toyos is the sidewall looks super tame. If they had a more aggressive sidewall like the nittos, they would be perfect. I’ve owned Falkens, Nittos, Toyos, Mickey Thompson’s, and my absolute favorite by far was the Toyo. The last time I ran the Toyo was I believe when they came out with the Open Country ATII. I’m not kidding I probably ran those tires for 80k miles with plenty of tread depth. I also really like my Falken Wildpeak ATs, but they didn’t last my very long. I’m still running them, I’ve had them for about 15k miles and they are probably down to 3/4 or 1/2 tread now.

I run 37 RG on my F450, mud snow ice they are one of the best tires I've ever had

I need new tires. If I currently have the Nitto Ridge Grapplers. In 295 60 20. I got 72,000 miles out of my tires and I’m buying the same set again.

I live in Alaska brand new Gladiator with Nitto 35s grapplers. They due really good in snow and on ice. Haven't done mud yet we are still frozen up here. What is this thing global warming? High today -18F.

this channel is pure gold. thanks a lot.

I have been running Nittos. 6 years same tire

I’ve had nitro before Nd liked them very much, I got me some Toyos this year so far so good

Nitto's there the "Enthusiast tire"

thanks for your vids they help alot you are great with the info you put out there

Do this vid with exo grapplers vs open country c/t! Almost no info on either available. Both are heavy duty hybrids👍

I went with the Toyo as they look much more aggressive than the Nitto. After looking at Ridge Grapplers with a little wear they look like a rounded balloon and have no square aggressive look anymore. The Toyo R/T have been fantastic and with the square aggressive edge they will keep looking aggressive. They do hum a bit more than I wanted for a hybrid but love them. They go anywhere in snow. No mud testing yet.

I am done with Nitto after two sets of nt555 g2 on my old challenger rt. Looked great sure, but wore way too fast. No, I didn’t drive like a child, but I was lucky to get 20k miles out of them. When I got my Jeep last week, went with Falken Wildpeak A/T 33”

Ridge grapplers. Soft rubber. Chunks on my Rocky driveway. Quiet and long lasting on highway. I love it even though it can't handle off road. You're welcome. Aloha!

The Nittos have to be the better of the two as my R/T's spin in the rain and are worn out in 20k miles.

Ridge grapplers all day, everyday Happy and pleased with them , FYI not my first set of tires , but I’m a big fan / lover from Nittos

I knew he wasn't going to be able to say much other than skipping to the end like I did to hear basically it depends on what tread you like because the more aggressive is louder. Thanks bro. I thought you guys were going to put them to the test on rocks, sand, mud, dirt. SOMETHING! WTF was that? Comon guys we need real info!

It looks like the Nitto has a little wider tread width?

I loved my RTs really having a hard time with wanting to go RT again or try Nitto man don’t know what to do

Toyo RT and never look back- Lake Havasu 🌞 Az

Love my toyo tires so far. Great video! Thank u! 👍

I have nitto terra trail grail grapplers 35/12.50 r20s on my 6 inch lifted z71 suburban I love them I have done proper rotations and got 90,000 out of the new set I bought

Kinda wish I got the ridge grapplers. I got the terra grapplers. They’re smooth as hell.

I currently have the Toyo O/C RT’s on my 06 2500 HD and I loved them but I have 35K at the most on them and they are shot. I rotated and balanced regularly. The tires are not cupped or wore more to one side I wish they would have lasted longer because I love the tread on them and man they are expensive!!

I've owned both of these tires and found that I liked the Nitto better. It performs better on and off road and it's WAY better in the snow. Surprisingly it lasted longer as well. I don't know what it was with the RT but they just weren't that good! Horrible in the snow.

How much load can these tires handle? An F Load 🤣

Is the best and best 285/75r18 Toyo R/T In My F150 Lariat 2005

I have a 2019 Toyota Crewmax Limited. I’m considering buying Nitto Ridge Grapplers. But I also like BF Goodrich KO2’s. I put KO2’s on my wife’s Toyota FJ Cruiser she has 60,000 miles on those tires. Do Nitto have a similar mileage range?

Great video. Thanks for posting.

The Nitto is actually a 3 ply sidewall as documented on the sidewall.

The toyo r/ts didn't have a f rated 35x13.5R20, so I went with the ridge Grapplers. So far so good.

Nitto trail grappler 10 ply one my 4 door wrangler got close to 70000 out of them but they weatherd and worn down and ready to be changed out still debating which tire to choose for daily driving In south dakota..

I have had Nitto Trails and a couple pairs of ridge grapplers. I have just picked up a set of Toyo AT 3’s and love them way better then the Nitto’s so I would have to recommend the AT3s if your using your rig as your daily , hunting, and snow. The AT’s don’t look as good as the Nitto’s due to the side tread looking like a tire from less swab but I’ll get used to it.... just my two cents....

I got the Toyo tires on 09 lifted Tacoma

i love the open country!!!. Do a 420 vs prox

I’m looking hard at the ridge grappler . I like that these tires are available in the 35 tall by 11.5 inch wide vs all the other brands that just have 35’s in 12.5 wide . A little narrower helps with gas mileage and traction in deep snow ..as well as throwing less dirt up the side of the truck . I drive a lot of pavement and highways and do tow around 10 to 12 thousand pounds on a regular basis ... but also go off-road to hunt and explore on a weekly basis.. some times several times per week . These tires seem like the perfect compromise of everything ... my only concern, and what might keep me from getting them.. is their on road snow and ice performance. No a lot siping on those blocks.i life in the mountains and drive on snow covered roads at least 4-5 months of the year . For that reason I may end up with a BFG ko2 or general grabber atx .. but then I’m stuck with the 12.5 inch wide tire .... decisions decisions ....

Anyone know that wheel above Fullers head in the beginning? The flat black wheel

Have pro comp 35x20x12.5 mt2 psh.... unreal! but have a 40k warranty I guess ther ok.

When it rains ,I spin/slide to much with the nitto grappler and I'm not even heavy the throttle

I replaced my ridge grappler at 67000 miles. I could have gotten 5000-10000 more if I rotated and ran proper tire pressure. I over inflated rear tire based on vehicle specs. I later found that I was wrong. Supposedly nitto to recommends (unconfirmed) 57/66 for hd2500 Duramax. I was running 60/75. My fronts had a lot of tread left and rear was at limits when I hit 67000.

This is a great review - thanks

My toyo open country tires are great in snow and ice, perfect for drifting in the Walmart parking lot

Dick Cepek Fun Country are low key the goat hybrid tire that it seems like not many people run

What about General Grabbers? MT/ATs (X3 & ATX) ?

I’ve been debating on nitto ridge grapplers for my 2008 blazer might have to pick them up

One thing that ticks me off a little bit is my Nitto Ridge Grappler 33/12.50 r 20 measures 32", other than that I love them so far (1200 miles)

Nitto is made by Toyo Japan, both are pretty good tires!

Love my ridge grapplers.. they do great in mud as well

Love my RG’s...best truck tires I have ever owned.

I have had both and run the ridge graps now the only thing I didnt like about the toyo is they didnt last very long. Bow the toyo mt I got tons of life out of but not the rt

What are the rims behind you.. the black with mill trim and red accent center cap?? My right your left

I can't decide between those 2 I have currently the Toyo open country mt on my 18 F150 im trying to get a little more life on my next tires

I love ur vids I watch everyone and there always helpful

I love my toyos RT

what is the best one for my 4 runner with no mod on it

I have a 2014 Toyota Tundra 5.7. I want an off-road look but, I don’t/won’t take it off-road. What do you suggest?

Do you guys know when the next gen toyo RT is coming out? Wish they would make one with toyo tread and nitto sidewalls

I have 35x12.5 r20 Nitto RG's on my F350 single rear wheel. Over 52,000 shootin for 55. Would love to get 37x13.5 r20 MT next, but not a lot of accurate reviews for this size vehicle...taking suggestions???

If I have a 2wd ram 1500, would I be alright off-road? Like not to go mudding but if I’m parking on grass or in dirt and it may have been raining and it gets muddy, would I be okay with these tires?

I have toyos on my 06-250 My truck weighs over 7k and still spins tires in the rain. Especially at stop lights. I am giving it zero gas trying to stop them from spinning from a stop. It's really sketchy getting on the freeway in the rain. I have plenty tread left...

Hey, Custom Offsets how often should you rotate with hybrids? I'm sure not as often as you would with a mud tire correct?

Isn't load index more accurate and important than the letter rating?

Toyo’s cause the warranty!

I had nitto mud grapplers on a truck once, they were so loud I couldn’t even talk on the cell phone! Sounded like a swarm of angry bees going down the road, i was happy to get rid of them.

Had Toyo 35s next week getting 37 Nitto excited

The baja style of the ridge grapplers with aggressive side walls are they already on the tires or is it more of an option I can pick

Guys, what is the biggest size tire I could put on my 20" factory aluminum tundra rims.

Excellent review! 👍🏾

Dude....talk about handling in different conditions. Get to the heart of the differences. The RT's suck in the snow!

I’m not sure where y’all are getting the ridge grapplers being quite. No, they aren’t mud tire loud but they can still be heard quite well. Lol
