Tires NITTO or SUMITOMO
I have the trail grapplers m/t in 37s on my CJ7 and they're amazing how good they do in all conditions, ok on the road, great in mud, great for crawling over rocks wet and dry, and amazing in snow at 1 in p.s.i. for a road tire.
I've had my Ridge Grapplers for about 4 years. Mostly highway. My only complaint would be wet pavement traction is not as good as I would prefer. Dry pavement is as good as I need it. Best traction of any tire I've ever had in snow. Road noise is pretty damn low for an aggressive looking tire. The best thing about these tires that will make me get another set soon is that I currently have about 100,000 miles on them.
Take a look for some Nitto in your area. Made by Toyo and decent looking tread patterns. And 3pms rated on a few.
Went from:
Nitto Terra Grappler G2s (good)
to Ridge Grapplers (meh)
to Recon Grapplers (amazing). Great ride super quiet still enough knob for the back 40.
These are the roughest riding tire ever. I used to replace with the Michelin M/S2, but nowadays on my last two Rams, I run the Nitto 420V and I like them better in all respects.
Nitto Grapplers. Ran them on my ‘14 EcoDiesel. Must have got 50-60k on em
I went from Sumitomo HTR Z2 tires to Michelin Pilot Super Sport and was left very disappointed in the Michelins. Initial turn in suffered (slight delay from steering input to vehicle changing direction). The Michelins are like sticky gummy bears, the Sumitomos had much stiffer side walls and that made driving far more enjoyable even though they were less sticky.
I have 20" Ridge Grapplers on my 19' Grand Cherokee Limited Hemi. I'm around 25k miles now and it feels like when I'm in the highway around 50mph+ the front left tire seems... wobbly? Not sure if that's the correct term, but it feels like it isn't perfectly straight/weighted.
Experiencing the same issue with my Terra Grappler G2. I wasn’t sure if it was just mine since we live in Florida. However, it doesn’t look like it’s an isolated issue that only applies to southern regions. Mine are only 2.5 years old with around 18K miles on them.
This is unfortunately common in my experience with Nitto. I ran Trail Grapplers that were cracked like that with still probably 2/3 tread left. Next set were Ridge Grapplers, they did the same at about 1/2 tread.
