Tires NITTO or PHANTOM
All these responses saying the NT555 G2s suck worry me... cause I just bought a new set for my 2004 GT. And I love them so far...
Another vote for NT01’s, I beat the piss out of them to the cords. Some of the fastest laps me and a couple buddies have are a session before they cord.
NT01's are always my go-to. They aren't as sticky, but man, you can run them to the cords and they still perform.
Nitto Motivo 365 is better imo if you’re doing any snow driving!
Dude, I have had these on my 2019 4Runner and put about 40k miles on them. Drove all over and in all conditions. I drove in the snow storm that kicked Indianapolis into -17 degree weather last January and put like 6” of snow in Northern Alabama. When I was driving south on I65 just entering the north side of Bowling Green, the snow was coming down the size of golf balls. I never even put the 4Runner in 4wd, keep it in normal drive, had about 4” of snow on the highway all the way to exit 1 outside of Nashville to get in Alabama and the roads were NOT plowed, the speedometer never went below 65-70 the whole way. I NEVER lost traction with my 285/70r17 Ridge Grapplers. Never slipped, slid, nothing.
These are quieter on the road, but that could be the more luxury cab interior. I don't feel or hear vibrations like I always did in my brother's 4x4s back in the day. They seem like a decent overall tire. They handled mud okay, and don't track up the grass on my properties, and did okay on some snow and ice recently.
I had Ridge Grapplers on a 2021, stock size on 20 inch wheels. They were quiet and good MPG. The Ridge Grapplers were sketchy on wet roads while the Defenders are lighter and make the truck feel 1k lighter.
I'm running Nitto Ridge Grapplers. Look cool, great off road capability, tow well. Heavy as all hell, lost two mpg!
I've tried Nitto's twice and hated them both times. The compound is horrible and traction sucks.
I just replaced Ridge Grapplers on my 2020 Ram 1500. Worst tire I ever had. They were horrible on wet pavement, packed snow and ice.
