Tires NITTO or Nokia
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.
285/65/18 XL Ridge grapps here.
From my research, best weight to load capacity to performance ratios.
Probably will buy again.
I’m rolling on the RG’s I love them very quite relative to tread. They have performed quite well in many off-road scenarios sure they’re a little heavier, but they look sick and perform amazing
I’d also recommend the Yokohama Avid Ascend series as a good all season, and the Nokian One (it’s a new tire, I’m running them on my fiancé’s car right now and while they aren’t the quietest, if you’re not a car buff they’ll be perfect for you)
On my work vehicle ( 2011 Ford Escape AWD) studded Nokians.
I went from a set of nokian hakkapalitas to Blizzaks on a 2017 Jetta GLI. Learn from my mistake and never do this!!! You only save money until you need to get pulled out of the ditch.
