Tires NITTO or NANKANG
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.
I’ll probably end up with another set of Nankang AR-1s next.
I have 3 sets of wheels+tires.
Nankang NS-2R for track on Teamdynamics
They were used for about 6 months, but I swapped back to the stock 17' classix OEM wheels as I was street parking in a city, wanted a more comfortable ride, and wanted cheaper tire replacements .
Nankang worked well for me
I've had both. I prefer the Ridge Grapplers because I'm more interested in offroad performance, but had no issues with the terra grapplers and they were much cheaper.
I have Ridge Grapplers on my Tacoma and 4Runner and haven’t had any issues with them. Do great in the snow and quiet for daily driving.
My Fox had 185/60/14's when I bought it new. I've ran this size for may years mostly in Pirelli and Yokohama's. They seem to be about just right. I did try 195/60/14 but I got a wheel rub in the rear when I hit hard bumps. Now I had some NITTO - NT01 Ultra HP that were 205/55/14. I really like the way these tires looked on the Fox , they are only + 0.07 difference in Side Wall height compared to the 185/60/14. What I liked was the width of the tire is 8.07" wide -vs- 7.28" wide. The only Cons about these tires is that they are very soft. So you are lucky if you get 30,000 miles out of them.
Those tires are complete total dogshit. I will never, ever put them on my car again. About 2K miles of good tires, and about 20K of greaseball bullshit.
They slip like crazy in my g in the rain. NT05s in 285 width. Good dry performance. Scares me a little on raining freeway rides.
