Very thorough evaluation. That alone earned my subscription. I wanted the get some at3's, but I went with the RT for my application( both diesel superduty trucks), as I've gotten 50k miles out of my last set of 35's and zero traction issues, even in 3ft deep snow. Was filling my radiatior grill with snow and overheating. I woild say snow traction in fresh snow is pretty outstanding from my testing. Pretty quiet on the road with good traction, great in the mud. They do tend to dig in deep sand however. Wet traction on road isnt the best, but easily acceptable. For me, the value, grip, longevity, and overall performance in all conditions is so good, that I have bought three sets of 35's now, and not one bit disappointed. Just ordered yet another set this morning. Nice video on these.
I run the ridge grapplers on my super duty. Just make sure you keep up with your rotations or you will get some noise as they wear. Probably applies to all tires with an aggressive pattern. The tires are good through. I do know people that have run the RTs to 90k miles. My ridges grapplers won't come close to that.
Had the R/T on my 2018 Cummins and loved them, but they weren't available when I just tried to put them on my 2020 Power Wagon. I installed the Ridge Grapplers instead, but feel the R/T is a better tire ride wise. The R/T is build on the M/T carcass where the Ridge Grappler is built on the A/T carcass and I'm sure this will make a difference in wear and longevity.
@Daniel Nelson I had 2 sets of Ridge grapplers on my 3500 srw. Both saw 50k plus each. But they chunk easily up rocky roads. Not good on lava field roads. I am happy with them but the softer compound made my truck ride like a boat on turns also. Turn the wheel...delay...then truck turns. Scary feeling when overtaking. Gonna try the RT next week Tuesday.
Have had my Toyo RTs on for about 25,000 miles. Very happy so far on my 3500 Mega SRW. 35x12.50x17. Run 55psi front and 35psi rear. 45 in the rear if I’ve got a heavy load. Keep a load chart handy in the console. I didn’t have any issue with them in snow last winter.
Keep in mind CHAINS if you live or go where chains are sometimes required. My current kit is set for 38x13.5 but I only run 37x12.5/13.5's in the winter for clearance. Even with studs and we still need chains sometimes in Alaska.
I’m rough on tires...I work in west Texas oil fields..towing..hot..rough lease roads...right of ways with sharp rocks and mesquites....I’ve tried every major brand and their at and mt..my last set was toyo mt..rocks ate them up bad..chipped up..3 flats and a blowout in 15k miles..the only tire ive been able to run to 2/32 without a flat or a blowout was the bfg ko2..they suck in mud but great in the rock and sand out here...mainly I need a tough tire...the ko2 so far is the toughest tire I’ve ran. Worst at was cooper at3 and worst mt was the toyo mt..the toyo mt is great for mall crawlers not for working off road or towing off road.
The Right (Best) tire for a truck??? Two variables -----> width and tread are seldom mentioned regarding geographical location (climate) of the owner, need and use. 1. Wide tire for sand and Narrow for snow. 2. Mud or Snow ...or both should determine the tread (lug) pattern...and not so much the brand name of the tire. For both mud and snow use....the Interco TrXus tire along with two Goodyear Wrangler tires...the DuraTrac and MT/R with Kevlar are great. The Goodyear Wrangler tires have decent lugs for mud...and siping to bite on snow packed roads. Most Toyo and Nitto tires are great for sand and mud use......but not the best for snow. Furthermore, Toyo tires tend to be a smidge wide compared to other tires...better for sand, but not the best for snow. The Falken A/T3W is great for snow, but not so good in the mud. Not many choices for a great mud tire with lots of siping to grip on snow packed roads. It would be awesome if the Goodyear Wrangler tires were made in a more narrow width...like the Nitto Trail Grappler M/T 37 x 11.50 - 20 ----> and this tire needs siping on the lugs. Yes.....NOT 12.50.....Nitto makes a 37 x 11.50 - 20. Actual Nitto measurements are 36.77 x 11.42.
I have 37x12.5x20 Ridge Grapplers on my F350 LWB. I like it quiet, and have always had Nitto, Toyo and BF Goodrich AT tires and switched to these Ridge Grapplers. They are a little louder but are much better in the dirt getting my trailers and equipment to the job site..It also looks like they wear about the same which is about 40k miles
Jeff Jassby how long did BFG AT last on your F350 by comparison to the Ridge? I just installed RG on my RAM2500 really like them hope they last atleast 30k and do well on snow which the BFG is king at. Was a tough choice.
I have since changed to Yokohama X-AT.. I liked them the same as the other Hybrid tire from Nitto Ridge grapplers...but still only getting 35-40k miles out of them before tread gets low to my liking. I went back to a true AT. tire. The Falken Wild Peaks. These tires get my heavy equipment in the jobsite without clogging up. They are almost as quiet as the stock Michelons and they are great in the mud and snow. They wear like iron way better than any AT from Nitto, Toyo and BFG. Only negative is the side walls don't look as aggressive as the Ridge Grappler, RT's or the X-AT's but look more like the BFG KO's. All I know is they last and they are quiet. One thing I can't stand is hearing frickin noise at 25000 miles and then have to hear that for another 10-15000 miles.
I put 50k on a set of 35x12.5x20 toyo RT's on a 1/2 ton and they were amazing. I just wish they had a slightly more aggressive sidewall closer to the MT.
I’m getting what seems to be insane mileage out of my ko2s . Just an f150 but still, 80,000 miles is pretty good. 99% on road tho. Truthfully my first set of truck tires
I have them on a Jeep Wrangler and they get pretty noisy after about 20-25k miles. I am disappointed in how noisy they have become, I was thinking of putting them on my dually with the new rims I am getting but after experiencing how noisy they have become I am probably going to put ona Michelin tire more suited to "rain & snow" than a all terrain or mud tire
I’ll never run another Nitto MT tire. Only have 17,000 miles on my Trail Grapplers and their near bald. Even wear since they were rotated regularly but they are just too soft. I’m looking at the Cooper AT3 in a 295/60/20 it comes with a 60,000 mile warranty.
I have the trail grapplers as well and I'm at 20k miles on my F250 and they are bald as hell and I noticed chunks were missing off my tread. I haven't had much time in the woods with them and I mostly just use it as my daily driver due to work being so busy all the time. Rotated regularly. I want to go with the Ridge Grapplers but nervous too since my Trail Grapplers failed me so much!
I am just in love eith your channel! All great for my Ram 2500, 6.7L diesel cummins 2014. I am thinking about the carli fabricated armas and carli ball joints because of you. Thanks guys
The first set of Ridge grapplers didn’t even get a year on my truck and the second set chunked out in their first hour and a half of groomed dirt road.
What would be the best tire for a weekend warrior, a truck that spends most of the time on paved roads. but goes camping and hunting, country dirt road driving on the weekends?
William Barton I’m from So Cal so my snow experience is limited to snowboarding trips in the winter, but I’ve been happy with the Nitto Terra Grappler G2 and Ridge Grappler in the snow. The other name I constantly hear for snow performance is the Goodyear Duratrac.
Would you mind commenting on the AT3 vs RT? I live in western Colorado. We get some snow as you would imagine. In this application, would you consider running the AT3 for the snow performance/safety?
Thank you for mentioning snow. Toyo tires have been terrible even dangerous in snow. I had a new set of AT3 removed after only a couple of months after driving in the snow. Nitto EXO grapplers were great with the best being the Goodyear duratrac. The Goodyear compound is pretty soft and doesn't last very long on mountain roads but they are my go-to for winter truck tires.
I’m nervous about the ridge grapplers I just installed in snow we will find out this winter. The Duratrac and BFG AT are The King of snow! I had duratrac on a 1500 years ago and my biggest complaint was side load cornering was sketchy the tires felt very squirmy in the mountains around corners even worse than BFG AT.
If you are looking for a snow compatible tire, check out the Toyo CT tire. It was originally released for the Canadian market, but a year or so ago they started selling them in the US market.
I agree with the squishy side walls on the Duratrac. I only run them in winter. I don't like the way they drive or wear on dry mountain roads. They typically come off in early May. I will look at the Toyo CT. However I am nervous to try Toyos in the snow again. For my driving I really don't care about mileage on tires. Nothing last well on mountain roads. Almost always a higher mileage tires is a harder compound and thus not great for snow driving and even rain. I tend to stay away from tires that brag about higher mileage.
What woulda y’all recommend now for 3500 dRW 2019 ram? Been researching but can’t find an answer. Truck is used for construction, towing, and heavy payload with materials on flatbed. But it also goes to the ranch and the beach. South Texas ranches are sandy
Want to go D rated bc I do not pull heavy very often and like the ride quality. Looking for a 35z12.5x18 but can't find anything in d rated. Do you have any ideas? Looking for a a/t tire
FYI, I just got Toyo R/Ts in an E-Rated 37x12.5x18 on my 2019 6.7 F-250. I think the tires became available recently. (Got the tires last month when I had the full Carli Pintop 2.5” level with Deaver leaf springs installed!) Love the set up! Selected it in large part due to your vids. Thanks, guys
On my 2019 6.7 power stroke F 250, my wheels keep deforming when I trailer something. I’m running 325/50/22 Arturo tires right now. Any recommendations?
I just bought a new 2019 ram 2500 big horn diesel. I'll mainly be doing highway driving but about once a month i'lll be pulling a black series hq19 (26 ft and about 8000 lbs). I want to replace the stock tires and go a little larger and better looking but don't want to do a lift. Any recommendations? I live in Scottsdale and will be doing most of my boondocking in AZ, CO, CA and UT. Thank you and very informative video!
We recommend nothing bigger than a 295/60/18 or around that size if you're sticking with the factory wheels to avoid rubbing. You might want to do the Ridge Grappler or RT for better highway manners, but the Nitto Terra Grappler G2 is also a great tire.
I wasn’t impressed with the Ridge Grapps since they had the same shitty traction the Toyo AT2s had that came stock on my rebel and they got half the life with needing to be replaced at 35,000 miles on the 305/70-17 size. I’m trying the RTs next so I hope they’re better than the Ridge Grapps.
Do you have any experience on how the sst feel towing compared to the Toyo mt? I’m tired of the toyo mt and I’m ready for something new. The sst pro has great reviews from the diesel guys.
Ridge grappler have 2 different sidewall patterns on each side! Looking forward to your pressure video. I have 13 ram 2500 and have 35 12.50 17 and tire pressures are all over the place online. Would like to know a proper setting. The tire shop guys recommend too much pressure.
I had the exact same question. I run BFG’s on lighter vehicles but was scared to run them in my 2500 so I ended up with Ridge Graplers which so far I’m impressed with.
@@BrianLampright913 I've been running them for about a month now. But I guess we will see how long they last. I can tell you they are not that good on the stopping/braking. So far that's my only complaint.
Rhinopkc I’ve had them on my 06 ram 2500 for a little over a year now. So far, they’ve held up great, tread life has been great, it’s seen some light off roading as well, and even a snow run up the MET in NorCal. Performed really well there too. I’m sure there are more aggressive tires that might perform a little better off road, but my truck sees more streets than trails
I’ll stick with Cooper discovery STT pros, they’re made in America, their F rated and last a hell of a lot longer than both of those brands. You can’t tow as much with those either.
I wouldn’t get any of these. I have had them all on various Raptors. The BFG KO2’s are the hands down the best A/T tire out there. The Ridge Grapplers made more noise brand new than nearly bald KO2’s. The Toyo’s look cool but man you will hate them as they age, if you are over 30yrs old and hate vibrations from cupped tires. I know I am going to catch comments about them looking like brains. I am hear to tell you if you have brains you will buy this tire 🧠😎. Keep the air pressure when on Road at 40-44PSI and this tire will wear perfectly down to literally bald.
And if you are going to run these on your RAM, keep in mind that you are not going to want to run the same high tire pressure called for with the OEM tires, which means you need to re-set your TPMS for a lower pressure. Guess what - CJC can help you with that. These guys no one what they are doing. Glad I chose them for my truck! 🤘🏼🤠
We're planning an AT vs RT(hybrid) video later, but this was just a comparison of the three most popular tires we install at the shop. The Nitto Terra Grappler G2 is by far our favorite AT though. Very quiet, good traction, fantastic tread wear and good fuel economy.
@@01tangodown I'm running them on a 3500 dodge diesel and do towing and some off roading. So far I have 20,000 miles on them and they look as goos as new. Some places still have the little do dads sticking out of them. Plus they smoothed the entire ride of the truck out.
I've had those manyany times, and ran them for over 10 years. The toyo rt is far superior in noise, wear and traction. I'll give the ko2 credit in wet weather, but outside of that, toyo rt anyday for me. I drive a heavy diesel super duty, maybe the rt is a good fit for heavy trucks.

Good review! Going with the RT!! 🤘🏻
I have a hotshot so I’m always hauling heavy what would you recommend is best for me?
The first set of Ridge grapplers didn’t even get a year on my truck and the second set chunked out in their first hour and a half of groomed dirt road.

In our experience the Toyo RT seems to have the best durability out of the bunch.
Falken Wildpeak A/T3W
What would be the best tire for a weekend warrior, a truck that spends most of the time on paved roads. but goes camping and hunting, country dirt road driving on the weekends?
We'd personally pick the Nitto Ridge Grappler or Toyo AT3.
What tire would you recommend for the snow? Something besides one of the three mentioned here?

Would you mind commenting on the AT3 vs RT? I live in western Colorado. We get some snow as you would imagine. In this application, would you consider running the AT3 for the snow performance/safety?
Absolutely. The Toyo AT3 is one of our favorite snow rated tires on the market. That would get our pick!
I'm new to the modified diesel segment. At what point do I need to research when installing larger tires?
What would be the best tire starting with snow and ice traction and working my way backwards from that? Second thing would be quietness and Offroad?
The Ridge Grappler is probably the best balance of all those factors!
BFG KO2'S
What ply ?
Where is the air pressure video?? Been looking and can’t find it!

Our recommendation is to do an all terrain like a Toyo AT3 or a Nitto Terra Grappler G2. They're quiet, last a long time, and have high load capacity.

firestone mt Good 2
Which tire would you get for a softer ride in an AT?
Either the Toyo AT3 or Nitto Ridge Grappler!
BFG KO2'S
37x12.5r17 Firestone transforce at. If your watching Firestone. Make a 40 while your at it.
My Ridgegrapplers are wearing out fast I tow a 5th wheel a lot so it’s taking a toll on the Nittos
Why not toyo m55 ?? Better than any on list at tire and a st tire make it trailer tire 2
Toyo for the win.
I wasn’t impressed with the Ridge Grapps since they had the same shitty traction the Toyo AT2s had that came stock on my rebel and they got half the life with needing to be replaced at 35,000 miles on the 305/70-17 size. I’m trying the RTs next so I hope they’re better than the Ridge Grapps.
Get BFG KO2'S
This was very helpful. 👍🏼
For a load range E tire for those that trailer, the Falken Wildpeak A/T3W is hard to beat.
love my Toyo RT but damn do they load up quick at the deer lease
What about towing with travel trailer, same time on the street. Part time 4x4 on beach r trails for boondocking.

Toyo at 2 extreme also work well 35_12.5 _20 and 18" for SD and raptor,, just my 2$.🇺🇸
Are you still liking these tires? I was thinking of putting some on my Super Duty.
how are the Cooper SST pro?
Better than all 3 of those tires.
Do you have any experience on how the sst feel towing compared to the Toyo mt? I’m tired of the toyo mt and I’m ready for something new. The sst pro has great reviews from the diesel guys.
We have installed them and were not a fan of their performance under the trucks we typically build. They were extremely soft.
I have them on my 15 F250 i totally recommend them 35/12.50/20
Shit, worse tyre I've ever owned, zero traction offroad
Ridge grappler hydroplanes constantly. Hate em. 37 x20 ram 19 king pintop full kit.
What tire pressure are you running?
What are you guys considering good mileage I just had to change mine after about 30,000 miles?
It all depends on road conditions, weather, driving style, etc. Some customers get 70k and others only get 20k. There's a lot of variance!
How to lower TPMS threshold on 13+ ram truck s is a video y’all need to do. 80PSI IS IGNORANT for a daily non towing rig.
We just dropped that exact video last week! ua-cam.com/video/EWPUxBx-En8/v-deo.html
Lol. Ignorance is buying a truck designed for towing and then complaining about it.
Ridge grappler have 2 different sidewall patterns on each side! Looking forward to your pressure video. I have 13 ram 2500 and have 35 12.50 17 and tire pressures are all over the place online. Would like to know a proper setting. The tire shop guys recommend too much pressure.
Weigh your truck, then use this chart: www.toyotires.com/media/2125/application_of_load_inflation_tables_20170203.pdf
Toyo tires are great they last a long time and I’ve had better luck with them! Can’t say the same thing about Michelin
What do you think about the Milestar Patagonia MT
What's your opinion on the BF Goodrich KO2?
Great on Jeeps and half-tons. They don't hold up well on solid axle Diesels.
I had the exact same question. I run BFG’s on lighter vehicles but was scared to run them in my 2500 so I ended up with Ridge Graplers which so far I’m impressed with.
@@BrianLampright913 I've been running them for about a month now. But I guess we will see how long they last. I can tell you they are not that good on the stopping/braking. So far that's my only complaint.
Any update on your KO2 use? Looking to install on my F250 if I don’t plan on towing much this year.
Rhinopkc I’ve had them on my 06 ram 2500 for a little over a year now. So far, they’ve held up great, tread life has been great, it’s seen some light off roading as well, and even a snow run up the MET in NorCal. Performed really well there too. I’m sure there are more aggressive tires that might perform a little better off road, but my truck sees more streets than trails
Anyone have input on BFG KM3s? Know a few Jeep guys that love them but none that drive in the snow or have them under heavier trucks
They're awesome tires, but we find that they don't last as long under the heavy diesel trucks.
CJC Off Road thank you for replying. more than likely going to go with the toyos for my Duramax
What do you consider the best tire pulling a 34ft travel trailer with a dry weight of 11000 lbs
The Ridge Grappler will be quieter, but the RT might last a little longer.
Falken Wildpeak A/T3W
@@theoriginalrjt21 You’ve got the wrong video.
Anyone know the most aggressive tires I can throw on a stock ram 1/2 ton? Stock rim, suspension, also keep in mind it's my daily drive
Hemi1500 try the trail grapps
I’ll stick with Cooper discovery STT pros, they’re made in America, their F rated and last a hell of a lot longer than both of those brands. You can’t tow as much with those either.
37x13.5x17 toyo mt for the win on all occasions
Toyo MT -are the best imo.
6 .7 nah I have my reason to disagree
I’ve always heard good things about toyo
I wouldn’t get any of these. I have had them all on various Raptors. The BFG KO2’s are the hands down the best A/T tire out there. The Ridge Grapplers made more noise brand new than nearly bald KO2’s. The Toyo’s look cool but man you will hate them as they age, if you are over 30yrs old and hate vibrations from cupped tires. I know I am going to catch comments about them looking like brains. I am hear to tell you if you have brains you will buy this tire 🧠😎.
Keep the air pressure when on Road at 40-44PSI and this tire will wear perfectly down to literally bald.
And if you are going to run these on your RAM, keep in mind that you are not going to want to run the same high tire pressure called for with the OEM tires, which means you need to re-set your TPMS for a lower pressure. Guess what - CJC can help you with that. These guys no one what they are doing. Glad I chose them for my truck! 🤘🏼🤠
Bought a lot of Nitto Ridge Grapplers. Great tire, but often not very balanced in the larger sizes.
I've heard good things about Yokohama's MT (G003) and xAT (G016) -
Do you have any opinions on these?
PS: Love your videos!
They’re not bad, but we’ve yet to see another option hold up as well as the Nittos and Toyos under these heavy trucks!
What about the Terra grappler g2?
We're planning an AT vs RT(hybrid) video later, but this was just a comparison of the three most popular tires we install at the shop. The Nitto Terra Grappler G2 is by far our favorite AT though. Very quiet, good traction, fantastic tread wear and good fuel economy.
@@CJCOffRoad ok great that's what I was planning on getting with the e load and 10 ply since I tow.
@@01tangodown I'm running them on a 3500 dodge diesel and do towing and some off roading. So far I have 20,000 miles on them and they look as goos as new. Some places still have the little do dads sticking out of them. Plus they smoothed the entire ride of the truck out.
@@jamesvaldez4093 excellent! Thank you for the information I really appreciate it.
Io voto le Toyo O.C.
Toyo and NITTO are the SAME company. They just want you to think they are different, so they can sell to both of you.
T K Despite being under the same ownership, they have distinctly different tire offerings under both companies. There’s no tire conspiracy going on...
No No No MAXXIS RAZR MT 40,000 MILE tread warranty YES on a MT BOOM beat that! Do not bead lock them, that will void it
KO2S THE BEST
I've had those manyany times, and ran them for over 10 years. The toyo rt is far superior in noise, wear and traction. I'll give the ko2 credit in wet weather, but outside of that, toyo rt anyday for me. I drive a heavy diesel super duty, maybe the rt is a good fit for heavy trucks.
YOU FORGOT THE KO2'S... waaaaay better imo and better weight rating
Toyo MTs ate trash! Especially on a diesel.
