I’ve had both. Liked the grapplers better and run them currently. They perform better in the rain. That’s pretty much the only difference I was able to notice
That said Nitto Ridge Grapplers are a good compromise. Considered a ‘Mud Terrain hybrid’ but have great street manners.
Nitto Ridge Grapplers are a pretty good middle ground. Aggressive and capable tread pattern with sidewall lugs for offroading, but softer and quieter than full on M/T.
2018 explorer tire upgrade 265/50/20 Nitto Ridge Grapplers
I have a set of these, 6 years. Never a single issue. They are a little harder but nothing like what you would expect from the comments.
I’m replacing them tomorrow with a new set 6 years to the day from when I 1st put them on.
They are amazing tires. Hands down the best I have ever owned in 30 years of driving.
Nitto tires use a lot of the same tech as Toyo (who owns them) so you are just seeing a decent AT truck tire wearing like it should. All the no grip comments are funny this is a truck tire not a sport tire. Nitto has a winter line as well that is great and very inexpensive.
I put a set of Nittos on my F-150 and love them. It came with crappy all terrain tires that were noisy and didn’t handle well in the rain. The new tires are far more quiet, especially at interstate speeds, and have better grip when the weather isn’t cooperating.
The socal 86 cup is sponsored by them, so they've all I've ever used. They're more like 260tw. But I got 245 r40 17 for like $80 each. They're not the best, but they're the best for the money.
I had them on my 2013 GT. They did not hook up well, and I was stock. They were also noisy. I’d choose something else.
I swear at my nitto 555 G2’s…….They spin through 4th…
I do not recommend
