Tires NITTO or Maxxis
I had the ridge grapplers and I loved them. Very quiet tire that’s supposedly supposed to last around 40k miles! I only used it in loose sand and no muddy terrain but I was content.
I ride on a DHR2 rear in DD casing and MaxxTerra compound, and an Assegai front in EXO+ MaxxGrip. Really good combo for the descents but a little bit slow on the climbs.
The Maxxis Ikon in dual compound would be a good choice. It won't have great grip on wet roots or rocks, but sounds like that's not a concern.
Something like a maxxis ikon should roll great on the road and still work on trails.
I've run both, currently running ridge grapplers. I vote nitto, hands down the best tire I've ever had on a truck. they last forever, ride smooth, aren't too loud on the highway, and are solid in sand.
They are nice tires that roll really well. Mud and other soft ground can be an issue with the low tread and cornering can be a bit iffy with minuscule side knobs and rounded profile.
If you liked the XR4 the Rekon is probably the closest, or Ardent. It's worked well for me everywhere I've taken it from Duluth to Moab, and everything in between.
I ride them and have have never really had a problem with em. That being said, I feel like they aren’t the right tires for me.
Looks like these are gonna be the top contender for my next set of tires. The Nitto Terra Grapplers I currently have are horrible in the rain.
I had the Nitto 420S on my Ram SRT-10. The tread virtually did not wear, but they had the worst wet traction I've ever experienced by the time they were 5 years old. They turned to rocks despite still having 90% tread. No rotting or cracks.
