Tires OEM BMW or NITTO
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.
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.
I hate how my bmw can\u2019t figure out the dang tires going to be lower in 30 degrees vs 95 degrees
Stock BMW tires are run flats. Run flats stink.
With the stock run flats th ride is brittle and harsh.
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.
