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 run the nt555r2’s, worth every penny. Night and day difference in traction.
I’ve never used them on a Miata, but I’ve gone through two sets on my Jetta GLI and another set on a big-turbo Audi A4. I think they’re fantastic for the price. Perfect balance of grip and longevity. They’re not the greatest in heavy rain or standing water but they’ll do the job if you take it easy. Obviously not something you’ll want to run in the snow although I did this year due to laziness (couldn’t make it up my driveway). I wouldn’t hesitate to buy another set.
I have a RWD LR Model 3 so my reply is based solely on this. I have never considered any other EV so I can't tell you about them.
\- I drive my son all over Ontario, Quebec, and the northern US for his sports year round. Sometimes to very rural areas. You'd be surprised where you come across charging stations.
\- You can change your habits to allow more efficiency in the winter: schedule your charging to complete around the time you plan to leave, try to make sure your battery is warm when you drive (see first point), always make sure the battery is warm when you charge, use your heated seats more than your HVAC, lower your driving speed to match the speed limit, etc.
\- my personal experience (22k KM on my car) is that you will no doubt experience some range loss in the winter. The colder it is, the worse it is. I would say on average I lost about 30% last winter but some of that is due to my heavy foot on the clear days.
\- I have put winter tires on every car I've owned in the last 25 years. So yes - I have them on my Model 3 and yes it handles like a dream in the snow.
I run NT05 on my R32. I'm in AZ so rain isn't much of a worry, but the times I have driven it in the rain, I never had much of an issue. I think when they wear, and they will much more quickly than your average tire, they will become very tricky to use in the wet.
They are nitto neo gen they supposedly say these are great for wet surfaces but the other day my car slid from a small turn going slow.
Have ridge grapplers on my work truck and I don’t like them. There isn’t a lot of sipping grooves so they aren’t great in anything sloppy like wet snow or mud
