- Today I’m showing y’all my new tires for my stock height 2015 F250 6.7 Powerstroke, which are 295/65R20 Predator New Mutant X/AT. I got these after having my Nitto Ridge Grapplers on since February of 2021. I’ve long wondered how much, if any, it would raise my truck by going to larger tires and I found out it raised it by about half an inch.

Awesome just ordered my predator xat same size for my 2015 f150 👏🏽 Thanks for the input.
@@investinghutler5323 Awesome!! I think you’ll really like them. They still look great and perform great after 14,000 miles of use with getting them rotated every 6k miles. Thanks for watching! 😄
What tire pressure are you running? I can't find any recommendation for this specific tire. Thanks in advance
@@investinghutler5323 Sorry for the late reply! I’ve been running all 4 at 65psi, it seems to be a nice balance between firm and soft for daily driving, and it seems to have good & even tread contact with the ground.
You've had the tires for almost 4 months now. How are the tires working out for you at this point in time? Would you still recommend them?
Hey Roman! The Predators have still been working great to this day. The tread still looks brand new and I’ve already put a little over 5 thousand miles on them. So far I’ve driven them in heavy rain on the interstate, on dirt roads and just regular sunny weather and they’ve kept me planted with great traction.
I haven’t done any serious off roading/mudding yet and because I’m in Texas I haven’t gotten any snow/ice to try them on, but so far they’ve been great to me and I would certainly recommend checking them out if you’re looking to buy some! They’ve a great mix of affordability and performance.
I'm considering buying a set of nitto ridge grapplers. Did the first 30k miles using the ridge grapplers drive good? Vibrate, noise etc?
Hey, thanks for stopping by! I loved the Nitto Ridge Grapplers while I had them. I bought them at Discount Tire so they did the mounting and balancing and I would get them rotated and balanced every 6k miles.
I never had any issues with them vibrating and the only real issue I ever had was driving on icy roads. For some reason they just don’t grip very well on ice, so I would slide if I was stopped on a sloped road, but they’re not 3 peak snow rated so I wasn’t too mad.
Noise wise, they had a low hum to them that seemed to get a little louder as they wore down but it was never anything compared to having a true mud terrain tire. It never bothered me or my wife and she would have definitely let me know if it was bothering her. 😂
They’re a very popular tire and I see them on a lot of heavy duty trucks, so I would certainly recommend them if you’re interested in a set, especially if you can get them on sale. Let me know if you have any other questions I may be able to help with!
0:10 your steering wheel is shaking because you have NOT balance your tyres, does not mean you need new ones, look after the current ones.
Its pointless running AT tyres on a 20" rim they are useless anything bigger than a 18" rim is pointless on and off-road.
Hello and thanks for stopping by! So, unfortunately the steering wheel shaking was after I took my truck to Discount Tire to have them rotated and balanced. I bought my Ridge Grapplers from them so I had the free lifetime rotate and balance and it helped a little but not much. I rotated them about every 6k miles and the last time I went in Discount Tire said I needed an alignment, but when I got it checked by a local shop they said it was just barely out of line. Ultimately, I got these new tires, an alignment and had them balanced all at the same time and now she rides like a dream! I do agree, I like the way 18” rims look with some beefier tires on these trucks. I stuck with 20” rims because that was the OEM Lariat rim size, so when I bought these new rims I had the Ridge Grapplers mounted on them and I’ve just always had 20” rims and tires on it.
