I personally love the DWS and used them as my "winter tire" in the PNW. I did find them to lack the sidewall support for giving me confidence in the dry, however if you aren't pushing the car hard, they are a fantastic all year tire
Love my Ridge Grapplers and they have about 60k miles on them.
On my 2015 Passat I put a Chinese brand as I go many miles the design of the tires is really good looking, no road noise and good grip so far 15k miles and no issues and half the price.
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.
I run NT05 on my R32. I'm in AZ so rain isn't much of a worry, but the times I have driven it in the rain, I never had much of an issue. I think when they wear, and they will much more quickly than your average tire, they will become very tricky to use in the wet.
Wrote my car off into an enbankment on NT05's in the rain while driving normally.
