I have the nitto terra grappler g3. Was significantly lighter than the ko3s I usually run.
I only run Nitto now. BFG let me\nDown a few too many times. That said, ridge grapplers are on two of my cruisers and the newer Terra g3 on the LX. Both perform great in heavy rain, on/off road, rock, mud, etc.
Dunlop enasave EC300 was a lot quieter than my then stock hankook ventus tires.
Nitto Ridge Grappler 285/45 R22
I have Nitto Nomad Grapplers on mine and really like them.
You'll be fine. They're just not good over thick snow or obviously ice. Just stay in the lane that you see is completely dry. I'm still running mine now, its below 10 here in NY and feels in the negatives. Fine in the snowy roads with just traction semi off. No issues. Only sharp turns the tires give out so go slow with moderate throttle.
So I just put 285/60/20 nitto recon on my 22 tundra from stock tires. I don\u2019t me if it just me but I feel like there a lot of road noise from these tires.
No, I made the mistake of driving my car around 40 degrees when it was raining, it was scary. Those tires are trash except when it’s dry and higher than 50 degrees
The tires are uncomfortable rocks at any temperature under about 55 degrees, and will actually fail at temperatures around 40 degrees. They are just-barely-road-safe competition tires essentially designed for use in warm ambient temperatures only.
I had an STI with the stock tires for a long time and they were terrible in the cold weather.
