2022 Ram 1500 Night Edition Nitto Ridge Grappler 285/55/22

[@cathi_ag3]

Nitto looks really nice on your truck. Good tread, stance, and overall beauty. I might be going with these tires after my Falcon Wildpeaks. I have the '21 Rebel with airride and doing the 4" BDS.

[@dazerl2002]

Exactly what I was looking to see and here. Great info man. Got a 20 ram limited and going stock to bigger been looking at 285/60 but can not find anything with the air suspension out there.

[@KaranSharma-nn6mo]

could you please make a video showing full lock and the rubbing you are talking about?

[@WattsyID]

Look great. Thanks for helping me confirm this is the size I want

[@gjman1972]

No problem so did you decide to get them in 285/55/22? What year and model truck do you have? They are fantastic and they look incredible, the ride is as smooth and quiet as can be they are the best tires I ever bought. I look forward to seeing how they look on your truck if you post a video!

does not hit if you turn the tire? at what level of height do you bring the truck?

Look really nice exactly what I wanna do. Do you have any leveling kit on the truck?

Quería preguntarte si sentiste algún cambio en la camioneta cuando cambiaste la llantas se sintió más dura

[@user-bd5im7sj5s]

Good looking truck! Ram 1500 sports 2023 will fit this on the truck also with any all terrain tire without level or lifted?

[@BigKidCertified]

Absolutely perfect! I recently got a Ram 1500 limited after having nothing but lifted trucks. I’m at a point where I just wanna leave the truck alone but make it a bit more capable off road for camping etc.

[@gjman1972]

Congratulations! I absolutely love them and I wouldn't trust the negative things you are hearing such as there is a lot of road noise and they don't handle well or the traction is bad because nothing could be further from the truth they are amazing! I have had them for 10,000 miles now and the treads don't even show hardly any wear at all. Plus the aggressive nature of the tread pattern also gives the truck an incredible looking stance. Are you thinking about getting them? Thanks again let me know and tell me about your truck specs if you like id love to hear such as color, packages, etc. Thanks!

[@BigKidCertified]

Absolutely! I bought a lightly used one a few years old, only had 9k miles. The person that ordered it added every spec I was wanting so I had to pursue and eventually purchase it. Diamond Black Pearl, Black appearance (black bumpers, headlights) but chrome grill, emblems. I have the same 22s as you but in the two tone black and polished look. Black on black interior with the black and gray striped wood grain, panoramic roof, Ram boxes, multi function tailgate, air suspension, Level 1 group, anti slip rear 3.92 with 5.7 HEMI eTorque. I’ve been considering buying all the black emblems, mirror covers and then leaving just the grill surround chrome to see how that looks. So far, it’s the most amazing truck/vehicle be owned. I had an F-150 once and at the same time a Mercedes e550 AMG Sport model. That car was so quiet and smooth with heaps of power….the Ram Limited feels just like that car but with more room and utility. Kind of the silver bullet!! Just need a level kit and 285/55r22 all terrains now haha

[@daveivins5968]

It would of looked good with a 33 12.5 or 305/50, wide foot print always looks good

[@mauriciocastro6363]

A guy in another channel had these tires on a 2021 gmc sierra 1500 elevation, he had to scrap them due to vibration issues, Nito didn't stand for their product. He changed them for Mickey Thompson Baja and vibrations are gone.

[@gjman1972]

Your right it was a bad answer and thank you for pointing it out you were right to do it. It’s not nice to judge or minimize another person’s situation or experience because that is what they are dealing with. Just like I could say “Because he is having those problems doesn’t mean I will” and say he’s wrong I could also say “Just because I’m not having any issues means nobody else will either” because everyone is different. Thanks

[@ryanpaasch7464]

I have 18 ram 1500 with 285 70 18 or maybe 17? Love them lost a little acceleration handle great mud not so good. Bought tuner acceleration is better than stock very little hp gains but throttle control is way better just touch gas sets you back

[@pines2000]

Looks amazing. Definitely my favorite for looks. But im so conflicted on the whole E rated Lt tires that weight 63lbs i think versus going with a 305/45r22 thats 20lbs plus lighter, xl rated, and not a 10 ply. Or does the extra tire width make up for it. I see some people that dont like the ride quailty. As i wont be off roading i really just want then for the looks but want to maintain a smooth ride for trips. Noise isnt my concern more so bumps/ how hard it rides. Sorry for the long comment im being really indecisiven about this lol

[@gjman1972]

@pines2000 Thanks and no problem about long messages it could never be too long it’s good to say what you want. To add to what you said, I don’t go off-roading either I just got these for the amazing aggressive look it gives the truck and they ride perfect meaning I don’t even know they are there vs the stock tires. I’m willing to bet that a lot of the people who say the ride isn’t smooth should probably look at other things on their truck that are causing the ride to not be smooth. I mean are their shocks bad? Do they abuse their truck going off roading and then complain that the tires are causing the bumpy ride on paved roads when it’s really a damaged truck causing the problem? The point is you really have to consider the conditions a person who says bad things about these tires is operating with. I drive my truck on long road trips all the time and it’s simply wonderful so don’t overthink it because these tires not only look awesome but they perform awesome as well. They cost over $600 a tire with installation and they don’t suck and I swear if you just stopped listening to the noise (no pun intended) from all these guys on here that don’t know what they are talking about and put these tires on your truck you will love how they look and how they ride.

[@Jose-zy1wj]

I have a 2021 Rebel on stock 18’s seriously considering changing to grapplers, did you notice any noise or ride difference at all? I don’t want to lose comfort

[@gjman1972]

Hi thank you for the question, the answer is I did not notice any additional noise or ride difference AT ALL. These tires not only look amazing but perform amazing I wish there was a way to show that to you but I have nothing but good things to say. It was close to $600 per tire and I regret nothing about doing it and again I love the look, the aggressive tread pattern, and the performance. If you decide to get them I would love to see how they look so if you get them please post a video of how they look. And if you have any other questions about them of any kind just ask.

[@charlesmcmillian367]

Did you get these at discount tire? Did they have any issue/concern about putting them on?

[@gjman1972]

No they were through somewhere else but there are no problems at all they are great

[@JulioMunoz-sm1gz]

What’s the noise level & comfort ride feel like ? The Recon Grappler have a better ratting on their website I wonder if it’s to much of a difference .

[@gjman1972]

Hi thanks for the question the answer is these are simply amazing tires and don't let anyone talk you out of them because they are NOT loud and the ride is as smooth and comfortable as you could imagine. They are incredible and I've now driven on them for 12,000 miles so I can definitely vouch for them. I have 0 regrets and just love these tires completely. I hope this helps and you take my advice you will not be disappointed. Thanks!

[@nolanchance2364]

How are you liking your tires? What kind of mpg, overall, are you seeing on your truck? The ridge grapplers completely change the look of the truck. Thanks!

[@gjman1972]

They are great they ride so smooth they are quiet and the gas mileage actually improved but yeah they completely change the look I really couldn’t be happier with them.

[@nolanchance1]

Do you have 3.92 gears or 3.21? I heard bigger tires with 3.92 can actually improve mpg as it changes realized gear ratio to more in the 3.73 range

[@DetroitMuscle313]

how is the noise level, did you lost MPG ?

[@gjman1972]

Hi thanks for the question I can barely hear anything and that might be surprising with the tread pattern and such but it’s barely audible and it rides completely smooth. The MPG has actually improved as well. I hope this helps!

[@nolanchance1]

Chose the ridge grapplers over the Baja boss?

[@gjman1972]

Hi yes for me I thought they had the look I preferred but I was definitely going back and forth because I loved the Mickey Thompsons too and despite what some people say, and I don’t doubt those things are true for those people, but I have had no issues whatsoever with road noise or anything they ride like a dream honestly.

[@Wiwb411]

Thanks for the vid! Just ordered a set, did you get a spare as well

Hi I have no lift just the air suspension and these work absolutely perfect in terms of ride quality, lack of noise, and traction.

Do you notice acceleration loss? that is the one thing holding me back on bumping up to 35’s

Hi thanks for the question so far I’m up to almost 4,000 miles and it honestly couldn’t be better. I just went on a 600 mile trip fully loaded with stuff and it’s just a great stable smooth quiet ride. Do your research of course but I highly recommend them that’s for sure.

Nope no negative issues whatsoever it’s as smooth and steady as can be which surprised me because I thought it would cause the truck to have a rougher ride but it’s as good as can be.

[@peaceful51]

Why not the same size as the stock?

[@gjman1972]

Hi thanks for the question I wanted a little bigger size because the stock tires looked too thin for me and had no treads to speak of compared to this beast. It was really a matter of personal preference because what looks like great to me might not be the case for the next guy and vice versa and that's fine but that's why we can all get what we like for ourselves when we are the ones paying for it. But yeah these gave it that more aggressive look that I wanted and I love them and despite what you hear from the know it alls these tires are not loud there is no road noise to speak of there is no handling issues they are spectacular in every way and the odometer didn't need any calibration either.

[@thomasmickovski3787]

So would I be able to put this on my ram? Exactly same as yours, just don’t want any rubbing problems

I don’t see why not I have air suspension keep in mind and when I’m in normal driving height it’s perfect in every way.
