Tires MICHELIN or NITTO
I just got 285/70/17 Ridge grapplers installed last weekend. I absolutely love them. We've had some very hard, driving rain recently and they've performed fantastically. I've seen a lot of balance complaints with the KO2, but I've seen a lot of no problem whatsoever. So far no vibrations with the Ridge Grapplers as well.
I've had both. Performance was about the same. Nittos have been wearing even. The RGs are noticably louder. Not crazy loud, but louder than the BFGs. They look so aggressive though which I love
Nittos for sure!!! I’ve had both, the BGFs are loud but last forever, not that great in the wet. The Nittos are the quietest big tires I’ve ever owned. On a light truck they’ll last long enough, I’ve had mine over 30k miles and still 12/32” left on the tread. Also some of the best all around off-road tires imho. They’re designed to throw mud and snow out the treads, so more traction and less sliding. Very surefooted.
I have the ridge grapplers on my stock 4Runner. What little off-roading I’ve done has been good. Not so great on wet pavement. They are quiet while still looking super aggressive.
I’ve had both and prefer the Nitto. Super quiet, aggressive look, and the performance is awesome, so far.
285/65/18 XL Ridge grapps here.
From my research, best weight to load capacity to performance ratios.
Probably will buy again.
I’m rolling on the RG’s I love them very quite relative to tread. They have performed quite well in many off-road scenarios sure they’re a little heavier, but they look sick and perform amazing
Michelin Premiere A/S tires work very well in light, heavy and even blizzard snow conditions (as good as any conventional tire does on ice).
I had NeoGens on a G35 Coupe and liked them ok. Continentals are better IMO.
The Michelin tires weren’t a great choice if you were gunning for a podium at Indianapolis in 2005.
