Tires NITTO or PHANTOM
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.
Nitto Ridge Grappler 285/45 R22
I have Nitto Nomad Grapplers on mine and really like them.
Rides much smoother than stock, less bumpy and not noisy at all.
Drove 3hours in a blizzard like a TANK. I was able to drive 70mph with confidence, everyone else was going 20-30mph. I do have nitto motivo 365s which are 3pms certified but dang im impressed.
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.
Sure, for about 12k miles.
They're Chinese junk. They sorta work, but have 20% less traction and 50% less lifetime.
I changed my OEM Nitto Terra\u2019s that came on my Pro out last week for Baja Boss AT\u2019s after only 15K miles. They were scary dangerous on wet roads.
