NITTO RIDGE GRAPPLER’S, the worst tire’s I’ve ever had!

[@DD-is1pf]

Seems you are the only one. 60K+ miles, low noise, smooth ride, no issues.

[@fike301]

I’ve seen some exaggerated reviews both ways…I’ve run more aggressive mud style like trail graps and most brands last around 30-35k average on 1/2 ton z71 never had any tire besides factory stock junk wear out in 15k miles😊

[@SuperSnakePlissken]

I have a set of these tires on my tundra right now that have almost 70,000 miles on them. now I will say probably close to 50% of my driving is highway but I take good care of them rotate them regularly. With respect I bet you drive like a dumbass.

[@thejeepinrealtor5742]

I’ve run a 37” ridge grappler to around 40k mile and sold them with 1/4 tread life. They were fantastic. Currently running the 38x12.5r17 on my 2020 Jeep rubicon. They’re just not the great imo. The look amazing. But they’re wearing fast and have really soft side walls. I won’t get them again. I think the best hybrid right now is the Mickey Thompson Baja Boss AT. And the ridge grapplers start out pretty quiet. But get much louder with wear. I will say that the 37” ridge grapplers on the same jeep performed amazing on and off road. Maybe differences in sizes 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@leeeverett8109]

According to the web sight; Ridge Grapplers aren't rated for snow/ice.

[@bthomp0315]

You are the only person I’ve ever heard say anything bad about those tires!

[@cruzzindodge]

The ridge grapplers were the best set of tires i have owned... this guy 💯 has suspension and geometry problems!

[@SilverTRD]

I’m currently running a 305 ridge grapp and I love them! They’re at 75% and they’ve never been loud, perform great in mud and sand, and balance really well!

[@bartcornelius7717]

Ridge Grapplers are the best truck tires on the market.

[@Japlonewolf57]

Shit best tires I’ve ever had. 5 years and just now replaced. Still had a decent amount of tread left and has never left me stuck or stranded

[@thudtrades1850]

You have never driven 1/2 worn Bfg Ko's in similar conditions and, it shows.

[@Corbetting]

LMAO never had any issues in over 300K worth of running Ridge on multiple trucks. You're doing something wrong if your only getting 27K LOL What's the date code on those?

[@LBZDIRTYYMAX]

This is coming from the same guy who changes his oil once every 18k. Don’t listen to him😂

[@j.sfarms]

Cooper STT Maxx or Toyo Open Country CT. Both are "commercial" hybrid tires. Both are loud on the road (I dont care some might) both have good traction and both wear like iron.

[@betweenthepines4000]

Ive never been happy with any of my Nitto tires. The ATW was decent off road in mud or gravel, terrible in the wet and cold. G2 and G2W were awful in everything and these didnt last two months on my diesel gladiator, I took them off and went back to G2W’s. Which again was a mistake staying with Nitto. Im a Cooper and BFG guy now. Very happy with my Cooper Rugged Trek 37x12.5/27

[@BearClawJ]

It must be hit or miss. I've never ran any Nittos tires, but I did run the toyo MT on my 2017 F350 and got about 18k miles... I wasn't happy but always was told they are the best. I think my favorite tire was the cooper SST pro! Those had the overall best results so far for me.

[@GarzaDiesel]

Your right tire shops recommend these but when I had them on my 1500 with aluminum bed the truck was very slippery. I went with bfg now. No complaints

[@felipenavarrete8234]

I have Nitto Ridge Grappler 35 inch 12.50 20 inch black rhino wheels on my 2500 4+4 dodge ram cummins. Live in western Texas ranch so far they are great. Maybe it's the desert heat 🥵.

[@UHSftball54]

I didn't like the ridge grapplers either, for similar experiences, besides the lack of wear you mention. Ran them for 52k miles back in 2018-2019 on '17 f350 long bed diesel. I thought they lasted fine, but had horrible traction in mud, rocks, and wet dirt / gravel roads. I pull trailers on rough farm roads and oilfield roads, and I've never had this bad of traction. Went back to Trail grapplers and Toyo MTs and have great experience with them. 40k miles always out of both models, tolerable road behavior, great traction. Thinking of trying the recon grappler next.

[@BGood496]

50,000 on mine and they have performed great. Quiet, great traction on and off road. Will replace with the same when they finally wear out.

[@perksoflivingvlogs6219]

It's not the tires, You have bad tie rods and bad ball joints, and thats why they are wearing that fast. To wear like that at 20K, it's definitely suspension related. And if you run another set on that truck before you fix the issue you will wear those tires out fast as well.

[@GeminiDak0ta]

Agreed! 70k miles on mine....

[@Shakshuka69]

I've always ran the basic BFG KO2 and always been happy with them. Not great on wet pavement but good everywhere else and never had a puncture.

[@crashinaz]

I've run Toyo Muds, Nitto Trails and Nitto Recons all in 37x12.50x20 on my 2500 Ram diesel. All 3 went 40k+. Friend of mine has run 3 sets of Ridge grapplers (35x12.50x20) on a Tundra. 20k miles at best on all 3 sets. I think it's telling that they came out with the Recon so quickly after the Ridges when it pretty much caters to the same use case... And coincidentally has a mileage warranty.

[@SD_Confidential]

15k miles on my Ridge Grapplers and I agree. They’re terrible in wet, snowy and cold conditions. I should’ve got another set of Wildpeaks.

[@Kevin45792]

I’ve had 2 sets of BF Goodrich KO2’s and got 80k out of each.

[@123yrmama]

Yikes running on banana peels. No thanks I like tread.

[@Kevin45792]

@@123yrmama still had tread left it was only a 2wd light truck.

[@123yrmama]

@Kevin45792 I need a eye transplant. I thought it said 80,000 miles. Lol

[@ZillaZarate]

I used to thought I likedem but really don’t cause they don’t last … but they are sweet looking on my truck tho

[@alexgarcia3900]

Those are god-awful tires, actually lol. Jk jk is not absolutely terrible, but definitely outdated. Mady other choices

[@Silver12LTZ]

Don’t have any experience with this certain model, but try the Cooper STT pro mud tire, I had the Discoverer ATP tires and they were great.

[@Morpheen999]

How often do you rotate usually? I think these tires sell good because people want an aggressive looking tire without the noise of a Mudd tire Ive been running the Atturo trail blade M/T, very cost effective tire.. Rotate every oil change and they last forever.. Mudd tires are loud but I don't care, some people can't stand the noise

[@raydelfa1125]

One man's opinion don't mean shit. These tires are great.

[@mattv3862]

My nitto ridge grapplers were the worst tires i have ever had. they were terrible on the wet road always spinning out, then to top it off one of the tires got out of round not from normal wear or alignment. about 1/3 of the tire cupped on the inside only in one section making the steering wheel vibrate. I have never seen a tire do this. I still had at least another 10,000 miles wear on the tires.

[@krismcclendon]

Same experience. Maybe 25k miles on them. The new Toyo RT Trail is the exact same. Maybe 30k into my set and they are shot. Going back to AT’s, that’s the only tire I got good mileage out of.

[@jaymoar3561]

It’s the name and the looks that make them popular, just like the KO2’s which are also overrated.

[@joshmordan2968]

Appreciate the review, I was dead set on getting a set and now maybe will reconsider. However I must say it seems everyone has different opinions on these but everyone is experiencing them in very different use cases. One person has them on a Ford Ranger, the next on a 350, ones towing heavy loads everyday, the other is driving on poor dirt and gravel roads half the time. Can’t expect any tire to last a million miles in extreme cases. Most the time when you see people get 30,40,50 thousand plus miles out of any tire that’s a hybrid or mud tires or even a slightly more aggressive AT, they’re probably mostly doing city driving, on a lighter truck, and not towing or going off-road much.

[@JacobOverman]

Mine were definitely put through pretty rough stuff. They didn’t last 30k. Definitely the worst tire I’ve had so far.

[@stgraves260]

I have Ridge Grapplers on my 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 4x4. They are quiet and ride really smooth. My complaint is they are not great Offroad tires. I pull a 8,000 # Toy Hauler and when I take it to a place called Cross Bar in Davis Oklahoma I have to put it in 4 wheel drive driving through the uneven gravel road to get to the campsites. My BFGs all terrains were more noisy on the highway but I could leave it in 2 wheel drive and drive those gravel roads all day long and not spin my tires. I do rotate my tires every 5,000 miles because I go off-road a lot. The more often you go off-road, the more often you need to rotate your tires.

[@TinCupTraidingCo]

Tera grapplers I have right now are at 70k+ on a Tacoma just now needing replaced.

[@ethanrogers3968]

I find the Cooper Discoverer At3 series is good. I have had the 4S model on my rwd F150 for a few years now. Never been stuck in mud or any amount of snow.

[@user-ve9we5fg2c]

Should have paid for the extended warranty. U would have got a new set. Have 38 on my jeep they great no issues. Super quiet smooth and when I rotate them the fifth wheel never loses pressure

[@murrkem8239]

I think the only market that the Nittos hit is that you can get the popular sizes for half tons that are not E rated

[@fike301]

I can guarantee runs balls to the wall spinning at every intersection… Baja style driver, no alignment, rarely rotates. I’ve seen too many reviews and currently have set trails on now with 15k miles. If your wearing any tire besides stock factory tire out in 15k miles…..the mirror may display the culprit 😂😂😂

[@JacobOverman]

Okay. You’re slightly exaggerated. I do work my truck. I pull heavy loads and drive a lot of gravel roads. I do rotate and have a perfect alignment. I’m stating that in my experience and out of all the different tires I’ve owned. That this is the worst I’ve ever ran

[@littlejp6090]

@@JacobOverman thats your problem these tires are not really designed to pull loads with. and top it off you have a truck that weighs heavy. you need a heavy duty tire .bfg hd are an option for you.

[@sliceoflife8996]

Well, I feel something else is going on here. I ran ridge grapplers and did it rotate as often as I should and still got 48k out of them before they started sounding like mud tires. Smooth ride the entire time.

[@JacobOverman]

Everyone has a different experience

[@countryboyevan264]

Yeah my stepdad had ridge grapplers on his 6.7 F-350 they were shot at 30k miles and wearing like shit

[@randyharrison9149]

[@Kovacreation]

Baja boss AT!!

[@addvizorbiz2630]

2004.5 Dodge RAM 3500 4x4 DRW. It's a "well maintained vehicle" @ 200,000 miles and have the same sentiments as you! Had alignment done at time of purchase, rolls down road straight, held a good balance but still wore rapidly! Had rotation done at 10,000 (recommended for DRW) and at approx 15000 miles had a road hazard inside dual puncture, too large to patch and was told NITTO would not honor any road hazard!! Since there were 15,000 miles on tires and was told since it is a 4x4 I needed to buy 2... "at a discounted price though"... almost $500.00 "Out The Door"! Any more "NAME BRAND" tires for me? NOT!

[@ZR1Terror]

I love grapplers. I just ordered my 3rd set.

[@reub3ngAs]

ive got a set almost 3 years old from mfg date and a little over 30k on them and theyre dry rotted to the point im tire shopping now

[@edwardgt3028]

Completely agree! Had them on my Tacoma and worst tire ever!

[@PeytonTallmage5.3]

What tires would you consider your #1 choice?

[@JacobOverman]

So far I think nitto terra grappler, which I don’t believe are available anymore. I like the Toyo at2 and at3. Seam to be a good tire. I’m going to try bfg ko2 next

[@PeytonTallmage5.3]

Ok thanks, enjoying the vids!

Got 20k out of mine... they were 35x12.50r17 horrible grip on anything other than perfectly dry pavement

[@Texasman992]

I think nitto itself is going down hill I have 40 k miles on mine but just had to get them trued today because they wear so bad. I have a brand new front end no reason for them to wear the way they do. Also have a buddy that had to get his warrenty because the wore out so quick. Not going back to nito again !

[@stevepartridge75]

I liked my Cooper AT3s on my 7.3 f350. I was at 30k+ and they were at half tread and doing great.

[@colt191169]

Best tires i have ever had. Im on my second set, first set had 48k on them and could have went longer but winter was coming. The current set i have has 41k with plenty left. I Have many friends that have had similar experiences with the ridge grapplers as well. Maybe you didn’t get the lt tires for a heavy truck and chewed through them fast? They i live in wayyy upstate ny so we get plenty of snow and they do great for me.

Check your load rating! Mine have 62 k on 3/4 ton 4x4 & I love mine .

Never had issues with my nitto recon and terra grapplers

[@alexgarcia3900]

Ive got 25k on mine with no issues. Good on mud actually, and decent on road, noise is also very good. I think you're smoking the goods, brother. Also, dont compare hybrid tires with tires, and on top of that, check your tire pressure, and no, it's not what the max of what the tire says

[@NHWilderness]

Ive run bfgs for years i have my own plow business and have found the bfgs to be the best until they hit 20 to 25k miles then look kinda like those they get really slick and suck ive found the best thing 2 do is get new at half life and sell used on market place for 6 or 700 of u can get it to ease the pain witch is what im doing now waiting for my 1st set of nitto ridge grapplers to come in and definitely regretting it now after seeing this. I've never had a complete set of BF g's balance out correctly either. I don't know after reading these comments. If the order hasn't come in for the ridge grapplers, I'm going to try The general grabbers heard some good things about those and seeing positive comments here as well..idk good luck with the bfgs i may be stuck with the nittos if they get delivered 2moro

Everyone has a different experience. But overall I have heard and seen great things from the bfg tires. I also have seen very great things from the Toyo at3’s. I’m running a set of nitto recon grapplers now. Excited to see how they perform. So far they ride good but are noisy for being a all terrain
