Nitto ridge grappler (overview)

[@jameshurd8657]

I really appreciate the balancing information! I believe that is huge!

[@longreach207]

My Wrangler came with Trail Grapplers and I then upgraded to Ridge Grapplers and your host Gilbert is right on all counts! This tire is the ONLY tire that I'll ever roll on in my Jeep!
Perfect tire in EVERY respect...80mph on the interstate to 2.5mph on mountainside trails. Yes, I routinely drive over widely-varied road types and hereby attest to the Nitto Ridge Grappler!!
P.S. The road noise is sweet!! 🇺🇸

[@ronischoeneman5194]

Great review, thank you. I am am having a hard time finding out what sizes of this tire carry a 3 ply sidewall. I emailed Nitto about the the one that you just reviewed. 285/70/17 in load range E, which is the exact tire I am looking to purchase, and they responded that it was a 2 ply sidewall. However, like your video, I have seen and read otherwise. Do you know where I could find that info? Thanks again for the great video!

[@thetiredadtv6421]

Thank you for the awesome comment 👍🏼😁
When looking at tires pretty much everything you need to know about the tire is on the side walls it says sidewall and I believe 2 ply steel and 1 ply nylon/polyester and below it says the finally rating. Which on this tire equals to 3 plys. so on the full 10ply E rated they are 3 the C rated 6plys are only 2 ply sidewalls

[@dadsonjgsrt8127]

They are the best tires ever I love them I always buy them. One thing is Joe can I tell how old are the tires are like when they were made

How your mileage on those tires and everyday driving on regular roads, and if you tow is it stable? Would like to get you opinion, thank you

[@ross5875]

Would you recommend this tires for a 1500 mile road trip, mostly highway, im moving across country, or should i just buy them at my destination, i love these tires

[@thetiredadtv6421]

For an aggressive tire they do ride very nice and are quiet I mostly recommend these tires for dirt roads and rocks but they do preform very nice on the highway I would still recommend them because they also wear very nice

[@Flight_Mike]

I’ve used many different tires for Railroad use. Cooper makes a good tire and Goodyear Kevlar is the best. Everything else is prone to getting flats.

Which do you recommend for a ram 1500 in size 275/60R20? I'm trying to decide between these nitto ridge grapplers XL or LT rated? Mostly commuting, occasional off-road, Occasional towing of 21ft camper.

[@thetiredadtv6421]

Price wise there is not a huge difference but the XL are going to ride better with the LT you might get a little more tread sway unless your pulling your trailer then the LT are going to shine and the LT are going to last longer if it was my truck I would do the LT they handle the dirt and rocks much better and again your going to love having them when your towing a trailer because you can up the air pressure vs the XL they can only max out at 51 psi the LT can go up to 80psi

[@gman0812]

Gilbert, great review. Before I purchase these bad boys, I’d like your advice. I am looking for a daily driver family friendly aggressive tire. Only off road Ill do is camping and lake days. Towing a small coffee trailer. Mostly daily driven. I don’t mind some noise but how are these with the noise?

[@thetiredadtv6421]

These are a great tire for that but it sounds like the Falken AT3W might be a better tire for you or even the Falken RUBITREK at depending on the size of your tire

Would you recommend these or ko2’s? Can you tell much difference in the sl, c, e load rating tires by looking at them?

[@thetiredadtv6421]

The nittos you can tell the difference from the different load rating and BFG no because they only make them in C D or E rating. As far as which I would chose it depends on what kind of truck or suv they are going on and depends if you go into the snow or sand more

[@ThunderRunner]

Looking at something to go on an f150…c rating. More snow/ice, almost no sand.

are this tires affect the mpg on the gas trucks ? what about vibration on high speed like 80 ?

[@thetiredadtv6421]

Depends on what kind of vehicle and what ply rating there is 4 ply standard loadwhich doesn’t really affect gas mileage and if you get a 10ply or even 12 ply in some sizes it will drop it anywhere from 1-2 mpgs and vibration should not be at all noticeable if they are properly balanced after being installed

I Used to have to stop at the end of my driveway everytime I left and pluck ROCKS out of my NITTO RIDGE GRAPPLERS, and that GETS OLD QUICK.

I’ve had them on my Escalade (285/45r22), expedition twice benefit of the doubt (295/70r17), and f150 (35x12.5r20).
They never balanced right, they ride pretty rough (even with air ride suspension), they don’t last long at all 30k was an average of all 3, they are a tad on the noisy side, and lastly they cost an arm and a leg each time I’ve spent either close to or right at 400 for each tire.
I will give them that they have great handling, grip, and performance off road and some what on road and also they look nice the main reason I kept buying them.
So unless you’re a true nitto bandwagon person or like looks over performance and quality stay away from these.
