@behexen250 I cannot give out any trade secrets, sorry
I am on my 2nd set of Nitto G2. easily got 55k with tread still left but in snow I switched them out. Love them
Getting my set of open country at3 Tuesday :)
@scottreynolds, which of the TOYO/NItto AT's are the quietest on the road?
I’ve ran both of these tires and can say without a doubt that the at3 are much better tires then the ridge grapplers, minus the look, and that is it. They perform better in every aspect, other than the look.
Facts! I have the Grapplers on one truck and Wildpeaks on the other. My only regret is not waiting a little for the AT4's to come out.
@@stronglikebull2994I am curious what the Wildpeaks have had performance wise over your Grapplers in your situation. I bought a set of Wildpeak AT3W's late last summer but put on very few miles as I switched over to my dedicated winter tires ( about 10 months of winter usually in northern Alberta .. joking somewhat ). One thing I found interesting at one tire dealer I priced out the Wildpeaks at, they had a BFG KO2 and a Toyo AT3 sitting beside the Wildpeak and squeezing the tread blocks to feel the softness/hardness of the tires, the BFG and Toyo were of a much softer more pliable compound over the Wildpeak. What that translates to in the real world of tire performance, good question as per traction on dry pavement all the way to ice. I was told by the shop where I ended up buying the Wildpeaks, that they would last longer on gravel roads over the Toyo, and I know they along with other tire shops up here do NOT recommend the BFG KO2 for any considerable amount of gravel driving .. wear or should say chipping and stone drilling due to holding rocks in the tread and breaking up the tires casing structure resulting in tire failure. Ironically this is where BFG claimed to have done testing of their KO2 before they came out with it due to the extensive amount of gravel but their claim was based off of their original KO tire which was absolutely horrible on our gravel as the tire would look like it had gone through the meat grinder. I have run sets of the BFG KM2 and KM3 and they also melt off on gravel way too fast unfortunately, a good gravel tire is hard to come by. I don't think BFG will hire me as a tire rep any time soon though 😂
At4s? When are they coming out?
Theyve been out@@user-mv4nt9xk4i
Have had the toyo’s on my 4Runner for about 5k miles. Still look like new, have handled well off road and on dry pavement and heavy rains. Happy so far. Only slightly louder than stock highway tire and fuel mileage is similar.
how much MPG drop did you notice? Just curious
Absolutely love the Toyo At³. Personally I'm on my 2nd set now. Rotated every oil change, the 35X12.50 R20 I run on my 95' Chevrolet K1500 lasted just over 90000 miles. I have a farm and work in construction, so I've taken them a fair bit off road and never had an issue in mud or rock.
We hear a lot of great things about those tires!
They've been out for a year... What? You put 90k on in a year?
I'm a construction manager. I travel all over North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia and a regular basis inspecting projects.. It doesn't take long for the Mike's to add up.. I stared running Toyo tires when they came out with the AT2. After The first set lasting over 70000 miles I was sold from that point i've ran them on all 4 trucks I own ever since. The company has never failed to impress on quality and with the AT3 They have really stepped up their game.
Ah, this Toyo open country AT3 looks so capable for both road/off-road condition's.
I personally like the fact that Toyo improve off-road performance of Open Country A/t compare to previous model - Open Country a/t plus.
Unfortunately here, in Russia we still don't have a 3rd generation of Open Country tires, only previous models are available.
Anyway thank u so much for your review and your work as well.
P.s. additionally thanks for your pronunciation - i am not a native speaker, but i can clearly understand everything u are talking about. :) Hail from Russia, Siberia.
I have the ridge grapplers on a ram 1500. Oversize and heavy 10 ply tires on 20's. Wearing very well though after 20,000 plus miles, still almost full tread! I live off a ten mile gravel road I drive daily. No chunking or rock chips, even wear. These tires are great off road. Didn't pack up in mud. No digging in soft sand. They didn't hydroplane in heavy rain. Very stable actually. Only weak spot is heavy frost or icy snow pack. They act like a mud tire in extreme cold conditions. They are staying in balance. 80 to 90mph is very quiet and smooth. Good grip on asphalt. I bought them for looks mainly. They look like a mud tire from the sides. I was going to switch them out for the winter. But so far they are handling it just fine. Plus they are not wearing out as fast as my bfg all terrains. Those are a waste of money if you drive a lot. I may go back to the Falken atw's next year on my daily. Even though they are noisier and slip on gravel roads. They can handle icy conditions better. And they wear slowly.
I am on my first set of RG's and so far they are very good. They are a heavy tire though compared to others in the same class which really dipped my MPG for sure, their performance is top shelf.
I had the Ridge Grapplers on my 2500hd and switched to the AT3s. Both tires have performed well. In my opinion, the RGs didn’t wear as fast as the AT3 and the AT3 has road noise up until 35mph and then it gets quieter than the RG. I’d buy both again. It’s a toss up for me given the aggressive look of the RG
I have run Terra Grapplers, Trail Grapplers and Ridge Grapplers on my Land Cruisers and Tundra 4x4. I got nearly 60k out of my Trail Grapplers by rotating all 5 tires every 6k miles. Great tires...but got noisy towards end. Terra's were great tires...on road was exceptional...sand and light mud were very good as well as snow/slush/ice... Some limitations in goopy clay based mud but with enough wheel spin would clean out better than BFG AT's.... Ridge Grapplers were my attempt to compromise between the more aggressive Trails...and the more road friendly Terra's. I have had them about a year now....so far so good. I am not sure if will get 60k out of them...but they are holding well, have not experienced any wet weather handling issues...and have done well in the mud and loose conditions. I dont go offroading and rock crawling as much as I used to so contemplating going back to Terra's after this set but wont know for sure until I see how they wear...if they get noisier at highway speeds as they wear...and if handling and traction change over next year or two. I have another trip out west in mud and snow next Fall-Winter so that will be real test as the Terra Grapplers handled it suprisingly well in past. I love Nitto tires though.....out of 5 sets, I got my first puncture this year...nothing a plug kit could not fix and was back up and running. Tough as nails....
And how do you know there arent better performing tires out there if all you do is run the same brand. Try predator new mutant xrt, Try bfgoodrich ko2. Try goodyear wrangler duractracs. Try mickey thompson baja boss. Try khumo road venture at51. I GUARANTEE one of those will perform far better. Some wont. And some will be equal.
I’ve had many sets of ridge grapplers and best all around tire I’ve ever had miles and very quite
Just purchased a set of AT3s about a month ago, for my 06 4Runner, 285/70/17… have about 1100 miles on them. They’re ok, but they for sure need a more aggressive sidewall. They are getting beat up by most all the competition in that aspect. Def would love to try the Ridge Grapplers.
Toyo AT3 on the jeep. So far so good. Really like the pavement rides gonna hit them trails soon.
I just switched from 33" Michelin Defender LTX to 35" Ridge Grapplers. It's incredible how quiet the Nitto's are. I had no clue an aggressive tire could actually be quiet.
Bravo, Nitto. I am a loyal fan now. 2019 RAM 1500 Laramie
Wait for few months
I had them for 10,000 miles. Still quiet and smooth. little wobble on poor roads, but I live in Vegas and the driving is good. I think I would still buy again. @@iaminderjeetsidhu
Haha new tires are usually nice and quiet
17,000 miles in and still as quiet as the day I got them. I just put another set of 34s on my Suburban and will buy another set for my RAM when needed. Don't hate them just because you can't afford them...@@bedlfit2198
I have the Toyo A/T 3’s on my 2011 F250 after running Goodyear duratracs for several years. I like them so far and they are quieter than the Goodyears.
They duratracs are super noisy I have them right now but I’m thinking on change them
Can you make a comparison in off-road performance yet? Thank you
Currently running Duratracs on my 2013 F250 but strongly considering the Toyo AT3 when they wear out. Took a good mpg hit with the Duratracs.....did you see same with AT3s?
@@jeremyjohnson6438
Unfortunately no. Haven’t done anything hardcore enough to comment.
@@Randy_Savage_ohyeah
I can’t tell a difference. I’m running 285/70/17’s. That said, I don’t pay close attention. My employer owns the truck and I just gas & go. I occasionally look at the mpg on the display and it seems about the same. Usually right around or just under 11mpg.
I’ve got some AT3s on my 16 F150 and they’ve been amazing. I regularly take them out on some GA/AL trails (mostly wet clay) and have never had traction issues. And the on road ride is hardly any different feeling than when I had the stock shoes on.
For North Carolina’s Blue Ridge Mountains weather, my Ridge Grapplers are great. I rotate them regularly (with the spare). My 92 Jeep Wrangler YJ drives incredible with my 80/20% road- light trail riding.
I'm running a set of the Ridge Grapps on my 18 F150 in 305-55-20 and while I love the looks I'm not sure I'll run them again. I live in the south, no snow to deal with, but rainy climate. I currently have about 45K miles on them and can likely get another 15-20K if I estimate right. They're nice and quiet and ride well and again, look great and have done well in sand. But they are crazy scary in the rain. Almost ate my stuff on a few conditions in hard rains, basically have to crawl or park it if its a heavy rain storm. Probably going to try the AT3's next go round.
Did you go with a different tire after the RGs? I love the look of the RGs, but the rain performance has me worried.
@@bartnukem I did not return to the RG’s but i did do a size change. Swapped to 295-60-20 Falken Wild peak AT3W’s. I personally don’t think the look quite as nice as the RG’s, but every other aspect are just not even comparable to them. The Falkens ride smoother, by alot. Are much much quieter & mist of all they are great on wet roads. Falkens are superior in every category with the exception of looks. They don’t look bad, but…. Oh… and they’re pretty heavy.
thank you for the reply@@curtishodges4571
LOVE this channel.
Custom Offsets is a great company, and I have a ton of respect for those guys, but they’re a bit more focused on show trucks, and I’m more of a function guy.
Thanks! And appreciate your support! 😎🤘🏼
I bought the Toyo when they first came out, over 3 yrs ago. I got almost 60k of hard (mostly) highway miles as of now and still have tread left. On my 2011 4x4 Ram 1500 sport I've travel to work so been through 5 states in different winter conditions, summer, ice, snow. They are best tires I've owned. Never ran the nittos but they are better in all ways than the ko2. Super quite, ill be buying toyoat3 again.
That is good to hear! Its hard to find a tire that will work in all winter condition's!
I have the Ridge Grapplers on my 2016 Denali. I upgraded from the GY LS2’s after I blew one out. They’re a great combination of looks and road manners. Being heavier than OEM I lost 1 mpg in and around town. They’re holding up well in the often hellish Georgia heat and perform well in the rain. I love them. I will probably upgrade to Nitto’s on my 3500HD when I purchase next year.
I have the grapplers on my f350 and they were really great tires for the first 25000km but i forgot to rotate them once and they have become in need of replacement soon because of it. Overall a good tire but had poor mud performance due to slicking up a lot and very in need of frequent rotations. I will buy the AT3's for my next set and see how they do. Lack of warranty on the Nitto's is also a big downside vs the Toyo's
AT3s are crazy good on the road with tons of stability in the turns and smooth quiet ride. They also balanced perfectly. We'll see how their on road performance degrades as they wear as I think the chamfered(probably the wrong word) edges on all the tread blocks keep the squirm way down. Once that goes, it probably won't be as amazing. Competent off road. No complaints there and performs on par with everything else(where on road is exceptional). I do like that they have uneven shoulder blocks.
I had Nitto RGs on my Ram 2500. I live in MT. They were very slick in the snow. Also the wore and cupped with in the 1st year I had them.
I’m going this time with Falken WPs.
I've had 2 sets of the Nitto Ridge Grappler on my 2016 Ram 2500 diesel truck. Great tire first set I got 75k out of them 2nd set I'm running two different air pressures and I have 90k on them with still about 1/4" of tread left. Obviously I rotate them every oil change. Hardly any road noise they don't cup.
Good to hear...I like toyos when there new but both sets I've had started to cup towards the end of there life but the roads are twisty. But excited you said they don't cup on trucks like ours
What size are you running on your Ram?
Its either a world record for mileage within tire tread spec or its all lies. Im guessing the latter
Live in northern Indiana in the snow belt. Currently have the ridge grapplers on a ram 2500 and at3 on a ram 1500 and the at3 are phenomenal especially in the snow… the ridge grapplers are absolutely horrific in the snow and not that great in the mud. Basically the ridge grapplers are good for lifted or aggressive looking pavement pounders in good year round weather. The at3 tires are one of my all time favorite on road, off road and in inclement weather. Have had many different tires including bfg all terrain, bfg km2, good year duratrac, kumho mud terrain, cooper discoverers, nitto terra grapplers and general grabbers. The toyos are hands down best tire I’ve owned
Thanks so much for your insight!
I opted for going from a 35x 12.5 r20 KO2 to a 35 x12.5 r20 ridge grappler because I got them as basically new for free.
I tested them offroad on steep muddy and rocky terrain and in a deep mud competition.
I'll say. They did amazing in the mud and steep terrain. Rock etc. Better than I expected.
So far on the icey roads, they are a little slippery. Luckily, my Silverado has good 4wd and my driving ability has kept me fine.
Would I buy them again over a KO2.. questionable. I like the 3 peak of a KO2 and rock protection a bit better. However the ridge grappler have been much quieter and better fuel consumption on the streets. Along with not retaining pebbles as much. Reducing chipped paint on my doors etc.
A few ski trips up the mountains this winter will be the deciding factor on keeping these tires or not.
Love my nitto’s in the mud of Texas. No problem on my f-150 4x4..
How are they preforming as of late? With all this white stuff on the floor. I think it’s called snow/ice.
Debating between this two and my current truck tires are just not having it with this weather.
@@pandazzy52
I haven’t been able to get out on them. So I don’t know. I will be buying new tires this summer. Discount Tires sells a Goodyear that they are the only distributor for. My son has them on his truck. They are an in between, nitto/toyo. Looking at moving to them
Snow rating is a must for me. Who does not love playing in the snow!!
Couldn't agree more!! We are in Northern Wisconsin and have snow at least 5 months of the year 😰
I have the Nitto Ridge Grapplers and these look and performe assume on my 2019 Silverado!
Loved mine on the trail, terrible in the cold/snow.
Hey how's it going, I just wanted to comment on your video, great work on comparing what I believe to be two great tires, I live in Northern British Columbia Canada, so we have long winters with lots of snow, I wasn't sure about the Nitto Ridge Grapplers, but I really wanted to try a set out, so I put a set on my 2018 Ford F-150, and I was very impressed with the performance during the winter months, I had no problem in deep or hard packed snow and they even held on well on icy roads, in fact i liked them so much that I bought a second set after wearing out the first set, and I got good milege and wear out of the doing regular rotations, I recently purchased a 2022 Ford F-150, I got a 2.5 leveling kit installed and I am trying out the Toyo open country A/T 3's, so far so good, thank you for your informative video's, and comparisons, its a big part of the reason I decided to purchase a set of the Toyo open county A/T 3
Happy to hear we could help! You will have to let us know after using them some in BC how you like the tires!!
10-12k miles on Lt an p size at3 . Both still look new rotated once so far.
Just put 305/70 17 AT3s on my 16 wrangler. Very quiet tire, jeep rolls straight with no wandering. Does great offroad. Will follow up after the winter months on road conditions.
How are your at3 doing?
I’m 3 days in with 265 Ridge Grapplers on my stock suspension gen3 SR5 Tacoma and I’m a happy camper. Do it
I put the Toyo at3 on about 2 months ago, i really like um, very quite, handle well in wet,dry road and they rock in the snow. Dodge 2500 diesel fronts 45psi, rears 40 psi empty, stiff side wall, love um
I'm running 295 60 R20 Nitto Ridge Grapplers on my Tundra. Balance issues and bad wet weather traction has been my experience. I'm in the south, so no snow to deal with and mostly on road driving. Might take a closer look at the ATIII's.
I love my AT3s on my 03 4Runner.
Was going to get the At3 but they where not available at the time since i needed new tires badly for my little trip to big bear which i knew it was going to be snowing up there . So I went with ridge grappler for my 2012 4runner and they performed great on snow there was no need for chains or put it on 4 low what so ever. The Only time I was on 4 Low was when I was going down hill where there was some slick spots then I had that bad boy in 4 Low on 1st gear.
Other then that i was pretty much on 4 Hi the whole time up there.
The Ridge grappler ride very smooth and Quiet on the highway at 40 psi. There even smoother on dirt/ rocky roads and on snow at 18 psi.
I had the ridge grapplers in 35/12.5/r18 and they are horrible. Was raining on my way to mount Hood and just a small amount of water in the ruts was kicking my front end over like a foot, talk about pucker. I was way more comfortable in the snow and ice up on mount hood. Bought new tires the next week.
I have 35x12.5 r20 at3 on my 19 Ram 2500 and have only got around 24k miles on them and they're down to the wear bars. I've rotated them religiously at 5k miles and keep them aired up at 72 pounds. I drove mostly highway with a couple miles of gravel road a day. I live in northern Utah and the snow and ice traction drops off substantially at about half life. I'm not very impressed and the dealer I got them from told me that 24k is considered good wear for a truck tire, so no warranty consideration. We run the at3s on our f150 patrol trucks and only get around 25k before replacement. I expect that the high speeds we travel affect that wear. I'll be trying the Nitto next.
I got the at3 on 2011 ram sport. I Love them so far. Super quite for a 285/60/20.
I have a 2011 ram sport too! Terra grappler 305/50 is on still, maybe getting the AT3s pretty soon!
I have 265/70 nitto ridge grapplers on right now on my COLORADO ZR2 and they suck balls in the snow/ice condition. No stopping power on snowy roads or traction on take off on wet rainy roads. Definitely looking to get either the Falkens AT3 or something better when the time comes. Grapplers look Great but they don't perform when I need it.
Both excellent tires but not the correct comparison, and heavily dependent on application. The direct competitor to the Ridge Grappler is the Toyo RT, Now the RT Trail. Also, the more aggressive the tire the more prone they are to cupping and will require more often rotations to help prevent it. I've driven on both and the RT is definitely not made for snow applications, whereas the AT3 does extremely well in mud and snow.
I've been looking everywhere for AT3s vs KO2s and nothing! Any possibility you guys can make this happen??
Having both, KO2s previously, now AT3s. KO2s work better in loose sand and powder snow, AT3s are amazing on wet or slushly roads -- I can't get them to hydroplane at all, vs KO2s didn't inspire confidence in heavy rain. AT3s are better in the mud, they tend to eject mud better then KO2s. AT3s unfortunately do not do as well in powder snow, KO2s and I've seen Falken Wildpeaks deal with fresh powder like it was nothing -- I've gotten stuck with AT3s when snow wheeling, hoping to test them on rocks/moab, KO2s were awesome on that.
I have the KO2s on my truck love them, great in the snow, but can confirm they are horrible in the mud lol, but my only dislike is they throw a lot of rocks on my paint ☹️
So that's the only reason I'm not going to go back with them, I'm thinking about the toyo at2s or the at3s or falken wildpeak at3s.
Try Tireagent
I am one of the earliest Toyo AT3 owners in North America and used them in blizzard condition. They perform beyond my expectation in deeper snow. However on hard packed/icy pavement they are good but far from perfect.
What other than a true snow tire with studs would be though?
@@Icutmetal I can’t answer that sir. Maybe cooper at3 4s and ko2s are better on packed snow since their rubber is softer. I really like the design and the look of toyo so I went for it.
@@BC-sr3gg Neither of which would beat a snow tire in snowy conditions, that’s my point. Saying something is far from perfect without qualifying what perfect is seems like an empty statement.
The tire comparison should have been done between the Nitto Ridge Grappler and the Toyo Open Country R/T, both tires are very similar, I ran a set of Toyo R/Ts on a 17 f250 diesel and they were very Quiet on road even at 37000 miles, the problem was thge 6.7 diesel with too much torque, the truck would spin the tires on dry road without pushing the throttle. I am putting the Nitto 35x12.5x17s Ridge Grapplers on my Jeep Rubicon JL, will get them mounted in a couple of days along with a 2.5 inch lift, I will comment about them after a few miles.
One of the things I like about the Toyo / Nitto lineup is they offer some different load ratings for the same size tire. I'm swapping out the 20 inch wheels on my 2020 F150 for 17 inch fuel assault's with 285/75 R17 Toyo Open Country AT 3's. Those tires are offered in both C and E load ratings. I don't haul or tow heavy loads, and my off road activity pretty much takes place on sandy beaches, so there was really no need for an E rated tire. C rated will do just fine for my applications. I think they might be the only company to offer that size in a load rating less than E.
I have the nittos on my rebel love them. They are quite on the highway and decent so far. I have dedicated winters, living up in Canada need a good set of winter tires thats for sure. Like the look of the toyo might give those a try next time or try out the new nitto recons
I live in pa. Winter months 3 4 months outta the year. You recommend nittos or toyo open country at3?
They are quite what??
Disagree with this review on the noise and traction side. I've had both tires. Couldn't wait to get the Ridge Grapplers off my F-150. The road noise for me was bad to say the least. The OC AT3's are much quieter in local street and highway driving. I just got the OC AT3's at Christmas. Drove from south FL to central PA with the RG's mounted and back after Xmas with the OC AT3's mounted so my opinion comes with miles of driving with both. I expect the off road traction to be very good with the OC AT3's, but have not had a chance to test them yet. As for the RG's, traction off road impressed me especially in deep snow. Took the F150 with RG's on some untraveled hunting camp back mountain roads in PA and had zero issues in 11+ inches of snow. The RG's dug in and pulled the truck along like a champ. Had it not been for the highway noise of the RG's, I would have gotten a second set NO PROBLEM. Oh and the reason for new tires was not wear, I went from 33" on 20" rims to 34.5" on 18" rims. Sold my old rims and RG's no problem and got asking price.
Thanks for the review!
That's weird because I have the Trail Grapplers on my 4runner(which is quiet) and I don't hear any noise from the tires. I'm impressed with their offroad capabilities so far.
@@logut80 Everyone seems to have to different takes on tires. It boils down to a few different things. We are just trying to inform the best we can, but everyone is different, with different rigs, in different regions. Thanks for you your feedback!
I have the ridge grappler on my 15 ram 3500 and they have held up great with towing and all. I have 30k on them and will be able to get 40k. I'm going to try the toyos next since they have a 50k warranty, 3 peak and according to toyo are around 5 lbs lighter. My ridge grapplers have done great in the snow but I have noticed they get that annoying flat spot when they've been sitting in the cold and goes away when they warm up after driving a bit.
You are lucky, on my RAM 2500 I'm currently at 20k miles and they are worn more than 2/3, I'm not even going to get to 30k miles before they are worn out. Also in wet/snow/ice they haven't performed that great here in Utah...maybe average at best. I won't be buying the RG again.
I have the Ridge Grapplers on my Ram 2500 and have put over 60k on them. They are ready to be replaced, but I didn't expect them to last that long.
@@bdssommer1664 so weird. What climate do you live in? I wonder if our hot summers in Utah eat them or if it’s my heavy hauling?
@@BrianLampright913 I live in Utah also, I don't haul much besides my snowmobile /atv trailer, but I am pretty hard on the tires in town. I also have them on my Escalade, but they were on when I bought it, so I don't know how many miles were on them, we put on about 10k more, and they look about the same.
@@bdssommer1664 yeah it’s crazy how fast mine are wearing out. It’s possibly because I live in the mountains and constantly drive mountain passes which would cause more wear but still, 30k miles is pretty bad
I have some 33” at3 and I love the aggressive look with a smooth and quiet ride on the highway
Toyo AT3's hands down. I run them on my 2001 Isuzu Trooper (fun car)
Sir there isn't anything fun about a isuzu trooper lol
I’ve had both. The Toyos are far better. Not only all around traveling but the Nittos tend to have higher road force and tend to have balance issue over the life of the tire. Even had to have 2 nittos warrantied out due to RF being in the upper 30s low 40s
Lt295/65r20 Ridge Grapplers on 2012 f350. They are garbage in wet and ❄. Only have 25k miles on them and are gone. Live in Utah and snow performance is terrible. Road noise is great. But I regretted my purchase in the first 5k miles on the the ELK hunt in Uintah Mountains. Buying some Toyo AT III's this week if I can find some. I'm hoping the Snow performance is there. And hopefully the mileage warranty will stand up as well.
I would never buy another set of Toyo AT3. I ordered is set for my dually and as soon as they slap them on I noticed a very bad vibration. Took it back to the shop to have them rebalance and it was only getting worse. Couple of weeks later the vibration was so bad to the point where my gooseneck trailer was bouncing up and down slamming on the back of my gooseneck hitch. I told the guys at the shop whatever they're doing isn't working had a second opinion and the guy came up to me and said that my tires were all completely warped. I was very disappointed so I went back to Discount Tire to show them the deal with my tires and now I'm using a set of Goodyear Wrangler with Kevlar.
were they E or F rated? maybe that was the problem?
@@altonkriel they were E rated
What's the different between the nitto ridge grappler AT and nitto ridge grappler rugged terrain...look the same
Just got toyo at 3s, I love them but they are not as aggressive as a thought
I really appreciate this video. I'm going from Michelin A/Ts to Toyo AT3 but I was debating between those, the Ridge Grapplers, or the BFG KO2s. For my 04'Tundra, the AT3s made the most sense. Thanks for a great informative vid
KO2s worked better for me on pavement in the rain & in beach sand than my toyo at3s.
I'd like to see a comparison between the at3 and Cooper discoverer at3 xlt. I went with the Cooper over the r/t and I love the coopers
Thanks for the request Jay!
@@TrailBuilt you are very welcome.
I’m running the nitto ridge grappler 275-60-r20. They are wearing really fast.
have 60,000 miles on my ridge grappler
You must have installed them incorrectly or something. I have 45k miles on mine and they barely showing wear.
In Australia road surfaces in the country are horrible. No tyre company gives us any warranty. There are laws governing almost everything. The cost for everything is prohibitive. Give you an example- just to buy 2 Aussie made led spotties, a roof basket and two side steps is costing me $4000 AUD. An e-locker is $2500 and air locker $2350. No trutracks available for Nissan Patrol (not sure if they are or were sold in the US) - a Nitto R/G is $310 in 33", Toyo AT3 will not be available for a long time, Toyo RT will not be available for a long time, only Toyo At2 available at $275 each. Goodyear wrangler Duratracs are $355 each and MT Kevlar $400 each. Just to register my vehicle to drive in the state of NSW will cost me $1100 plus insurance another $850. To kit out a vehicle properly to deal with Australia's remote and vicious outback you are looking at a cool $20000 with just the essentials. They have turned this country into a retirement haven for the wealthy only with very little competition in anything.
Open Country R/T is the best looking by far. The was going to get the Ridge Grappler but looking at them after 20K they look like a rounded balloon with no aggressive look anymore. The R/Ts are a little loud but they are a more aggressive hybrid.
Ive had both sets of tires on my f150 and ridge grapplers are quieter and last longer.
How much longer can they possibly last? The AT3 has only been out a few months.
@@user-ys1ki8sp8s Ive had my at3's since April 2019
What about a comparison between these and the Cooper Discovery xlt a/t lll.
IMHO the AT3 is the best all-terrain tire available. I have run the Toyo RT as well, and actually like the AT3 better as an all-around tire.
What are the positives to the Toyo RT against the AT3?
@@traviskilgore8556 THE RT is just more aggressive, but in my experience does not last as long, and gets to be as noisy on the pavement as an MT as it wears. I've been a fan of RT type tires for a while, but I am really impressed with Toyo's AT3 tire design and overall performance. My truck also makes a lot of power (supercharged) and the AT3 puts it down a little better than the RT did.
The new Toyo AT3 looks like they can handle winter conditions better than the AT2. I have the AT2 and I think it’s a bit overrated. Slips on wet pavements, hydroplanes in heavy rain and does ok in the snow as I expected. Granted it’s not rated for winter so I won’t knock them too much for it. But the longevity of the tires are great! I’ve put about 37K on mine and they still look good. I will try the Nitto Ridge Grapplers next.
between the 2 tires which one is quieter. Have you had them on the same truck for testing ???? I have had the ridge Grapplers and RT's and now have X-AT's... looking for the quietest Hybrid tire for my 20 f250. So far I like both the Ridge grapplers and X-AT's. Needing to get new tires in about 10k miles. Great review
How are the at3 compares to ko2 in wet tractions? My ko2s tends to slip in wet traction.
On my second set of Toyo ATs. Love them.... Best tire I've had!
@Jim yes but ran the originals prior to that. Great tires
I very recently ordered a set of Kenda Klever R/T mounted on Fuel Rebels from Trailbuilt for my Gladiator, can’t wait for them to be delivered. Keep up the content! Oh and how about a Maxxis Razr review. I’m thinking about those for my TJ when my current Coopers wear out, been super happy with the STTs though.
Thanks! And we have Maxxis on the list of tires to review in the near future. 😎✌
Cool I love fuel wheels I'm getting my assaults in on Friday, plus in a week my 35x12.5R17 Nitto Ridge Grapplers coming in i can't wait!!!
@@disturbed69690 Hope you didn't buy the Fuel's in chrome. You'll be sooorrryyy. My chrome pitted so bad I need new wheels and I hear their chrome is the biggest complaint with those so, beware my friend.
@@briancoburn5320 No I got my fuels in matte black. I don't like a lot of chrome for some reason I think the rust is it.
TOYO AT are very bad in the rain as I’m figuring out. I drive a 3/4 ton and I’m rain it feels like I’m on ice. Mine are 33x12.5R20
Running the Nitto's (295 60 R20's) on my 2007 Toyota Tundra 2WD. Got 45K miles on them and hated them from day one. Cant keep them balanced, HORRIBLE wet weather manners, and poor handling on dry pavement. They look great and perform well in mild off road situations, but I'll be moving on to a different tire very soon.
Toyos on my 14 tundra crewmax 4x4. Got them back when it was snowing bc K02 with half tread left wouldn't go.. they are the best tires Ive had. Wet traction is awesome, quiet, smooth.
Can you pls do Firestone destination XT
Can I ask what tire is more grip in wet? between of the 2 tire
AT3s have softer tread compound, siping, and more room for water to escape between the tread blocks. should be an easy pick.
@@nocoolname32 tnx for advice
Nitto Ridge grapper vs. Mickey thompson baja Boss A/T
Hard to say! What one are you going with? 👀
Interesting if Toyo is planning to release new R/T tires !
Are they? If so i'll hold out for RTs. I'm on my second set of RTs right now and am giving thought to the AT3 but the 305/70r17 AT3s weigh the same as the 295/70r17 RTs i run.
@@5RWill I am running on R/Ts as well. Next summer i am planning to Overland with my Jeep and i think A/T3 fits better.
I can’t help but see how similar these are to the falken wildpeak at3w
That makes no sense.
@@Icutmetal I’m talking about the toyo at3
The Toyos have been around longer than the wildpeaks.
@@rogerlester4446 The AT3’s absolutely have not been.
@@rogerlester4446 this is irrelevant when I’m saying their appearance is similar
What rims are those at 1:02?

I feel so bad for Hawaii and Alaska
Does Toyo ever offer rebates? Been looking for a set and have seen a lot of other brands offering rebates, but never Toyos
Ok ok....I smashed the subscribe button!!!
I thought it was an insult when peeps call you a "snowflake"?
Has anyone ever put at3 or ridge grapplers on a 22in rim? I’ve got a 2018 Denali and I’m curious as to how they would look.
Same, can’t find any pictures anywhere
Any tire on a 22 will ride and handle like crap.
@@jessemccoy1661 yep ik, I was just wondering how it would look
My toyo At3 on are terrible!
The Toyo Open Country tires were recalled. I received a notice from Walmart where I had them installed in 7/2023. Don’t buy these tires.
I have ran both of these tires. Living in the south I don’t deal with snow. Both are good tires but I prefer the ridge grapplers. The toyos get very loud when they get about half worn. I have talked to other people in my area that run them and they agree also. The ridge grapplers will become a little louder but not much as they wear. The tread mileage is about the same.
I have the AT3 and go off roading for fun and photography and I absolutely love them! Quiet on road and grabs everything off road
Can we get a comparison between the Toyo AT3 and the Falken wildpeak AT3w? Thanks
Especially now we got some snow
I have a Ford F150 super crew cab… Are use it for towing and hauling and off-road and of course travel… The Toyo is about the best tire I have had… I’ve had the Goodyear wrangler I have had the Mickey Thompson on jeep wrangler... maybe it’s technology over the years but the Toyo is the best tire I have ever… 20,000 miles on ithem and I’m not looking to replace anytime soon
@@jasonbartholomew1837 thanks. Was about to get the wrangler dura cuz they are so good. Might get those now. Also heard they are a little quieter on the rd.
That is the comparison I’ve been waiting for!
Is none
I have the 35x12.50x18 ridge grapplers on my 2017 f250 powerstroke. They have been decent tires. My only complaint is they get horrible wet weather road traction. I have about half tread left but i am taking them off and going to the Toyo AT3 due to that
I running Ridge Grapplers on my F-150 and love them. Never had a problem on or off road. I’ll stick to what works for me! Great tire!
I have a set off the Nitto Ridge Grappler 35x12.50r20 on my F150 and they do really well in the snow and ice as far as I'm concerned. Many miles on both and never felt any loss of control or major slipping. Im glad to see this comparison. Thank you Guys!!
Thanks Duane! Thats what we are here for! If you have any other comparisons you'd like to see in the future, let us know! In the meantime, keep rocking! 🤘🏼
I have been converted to Toyo tires, especially the at3. Excellent tread wear and road manners, they also pull like a steed off road.
Yep, best AT tires on the market
I have a set of Nittos on my jeep and couldn't be more happier with them on and offroad they are a very well designed tire for the daily driver and weekend offroader!!!
Would like to see Yokohama Geolander X-AT
I have 20k on ridge grapplers and suddenly they have zero traction on wet roads. been rotated and balanced every 5k.... WTF
I have the at2’s and they’re awesome off road and on. I’m sure the AT3’s are even better
I didn't have the AT2 but I just got the AT3s and they are great.
Please make a video on Toyo Open Country AT3 vs Falken Wildpeak AT3W! I have a 2019 Ram 1500, will be in the market for new tires soon. Currently running Nitto Ridge Grapplers, which are ok, except on wet pavement here in FL
Is there an issue with Nitto and wet roads? I too live in fla
@@calvinpell6204 they felt like slicks. Traction was horrible. Was running 275-65-20. Just replaced them with Toyo OC AT3 295-60-20. Hasn’t rained,since I had them installed to test them out
I have the falcons and love them. I do think that the Toyo open countries would be just slightly better looking at the tread blocks on the outside edges. They are staggered like a mud tire whereas the falcons are not.
i have a set of ridge grapplers on my ram rebel. Defiantly they require more maintenance than the oem toyo that came stock on the truck, I might get 60k ish out of the nitto where I got over 100 k out of the toyo. As of this writing I have only6 ran Toyo on my jeep and now going back to the toyo on my ram rebel 1500. All of them have been usa made tires as well.

I have the Nitto Ridge grapplers 35/12.5/20 on my 2017 f250, with 50k mi already on them and are still very quiet I’ve run Nittos on my trucks for years and I live in the Chicago area and plow in the winters. Great tires, I would highly recommend them to anyone, I’m gonna be getting a second set in the next 10k mi.
How they do in rain ?
Haven’t had my Toyo open country tires for a month and are already breaking down on the side walls and little chunks coming off. Maybe I got some duds? But wouldn’t get them again.
Very Pleased with the Ridge Grappler here in Southern California
That's great! No snow!! The AT3's are three peak snowflake certified tires and RG's are not so different application in say.....Colorado!
I recently swapped out the stock 20 inch wheels on my 2020 F150 for aftermarket 17s with Toyo Open Country AT 3s LT 285/75 R17 Load Range C tires. That size is also available in an E rating, but my driving applications don't call for E rated tires. So far, I'm very happy with them. Videos and pictures really don't do these tires justice. Those lugs are bigger than you think, and the tire itself definitely says "quality". Nothing unusual as far as road noise, but certainly a bit noisier than a typical highway tire design. As far as the ride, it's just a bit rougher than the p rated 20s I had from the factory, but nothing I would consider obnoxious or uncomfortable. I would imagine the E rated version of these tires would be a bit stiffer. So far, nothing to complain about with these tires, though I haven't had them on the truck for a long period of time yet. It's the middle of February in Pennsylvania at the time I'm posting this, so hopefully Mother Nature will throw down a large blanket of the white stuff sometime soon. I'd really like to get these tires into some good snow, as they certainly look like they're up to the task.
