Tires Toyo or NITTO
Nittos for sure!!! I’ve had both, the BGFs are loud but last forever, not that great in the wet. The Nittos are the quietest big tires I’ve ever owned. On a light truck they’ll last long enough, I’ve had mine over 30k miles and still 12/32” left on the tread. Also some of the best all around off-road tires imho. They’re designed to throw mud and snow out the treads, so more traction and less sliding. Very surefooted.
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.
Bought my wife the Toyo open country AT3’s and we love them, give it a look. We have a lot of mud here in South Georgia and it’s worked great
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
Had both. Now running Toyo Open Country AT3. Best on wet compared to all three. Snow, sand and mud is all about the same.
I've had my new CX-5 Signature for 2 weeks. When I drove it home, and then for the next day or so, the ride was very rough. It wasn't what I thought I'd bought. I then checked tire pressures - all were at 50 psi. Evidently either the prep guys filled them that high, or they didn't reduce them to the sticker-recommended 35 psi. After setting them at the recommended pressure, the ride is great.
My Fox had 185/60/14's when I bought it new. I've ran this size for may years mostly in Pirelli and Yokohama's. They seem to be about just right. I did try 195/60/14 but I got a wheel rub in the rear when I hit hard bumps. Now I had some NITTO - NT01 Ultra HP that were 205/55/14. I really like the way these tires looked on the Fox , they are only + 0.07 difference in Side Wall height compared to the 185/60/14. What I liked was the width of the tire is 8.07" wide -vs- 7.28" wide. The only Cons about these tires is that they are very soft. So you are lucky if you get 30,000 miles out of them.
I've had NT05's on my TT and they lasted one season, and I couldn't drive in the rain.
