- After trying 5 sets of these tires with over 80k combined miles, I figured it was about time to share an honest review of the Nitto Ridge Grapplers. Spoiler alert: I love them. These tires have gotten me through deserts, rain, snow and ice without issue, and I truly think they’re the best hybrid truck tire on the market right now!

Everything on this channel is just amazingly good looking.
No homo?
I had nitto trail grapplers on my truck and they were fantastic tires. Lasted about 75k miles until I switched to the ridge grapplers. This video is spot on. Trail grapplers were super durable but pretty loud on the highway when traveling to work or trips to the coast. Now the ridge grappler is in a league of its own. Same aggressive look, fantastic durability but the biggest thing for me was the reduction in noise while driving on the highway. I will always buy nitto tires but the ridge grappler is by far my favorite tire.
Good review, Andrew. You put out great stuff. I love those tires. I had 35s on my F350 King Ranch, 80-90% rough-finished, hot Texas roads, with the remaining 10-20% high-speed, off-road sand and salt water shallows. I got about 70k miles on the first set with normal periodic rotations (replaced them because of the 'look' of the tread as they got close- likely could have got another 10-15k off them before road safety was an issue), and about 60k on the second set and still a half inch tread depth before a girl ran a red light and totalled my truck.
Replaced it with a RAM 2500, and most videos state I can go 37s with no suspension mod, and maybe a little cut of the fwd well on the front. Since the 37" Nitto RGs are actually 36.5", I'm thinking of trying them on my 2500.
Keep the good stuff coming out!
Your channel literally going to explode unexpectedly man.

Your review was all I needed just bought a set for my 2017 f250 overland truck wow I'm impressed
I've had the ridge grapplers for 3 years and they have been great. 25000 miles on them a they are wearing like iron. I tow a 9300 lb travel trailer and they are very stable. Never done any hard core off roading but they are very grippy in snow. Get some,, I don't think you'll be disappointed. I will definitely buy these tires again.
Excellent review, I have been waiting on a comprehensive real world review of these tires.
Tried to do my best to make one!
Absolutely great video!!!! Well done and informative. Keep it going, gonna keep watching
Thanks for the great video! I'm new to truck tires but now I must educate myself--bought my son a truck with large tires that need replacing. This one is on the list.
Awesome video and review! Thanks so much. Wasn't familiar with Nitto, but you made my decision easy.
A 2nd gen on Walker Evans... beautiful
Gorgeous trucks and great video editing!! keep it up!!
Thank you!
Awesome review man! Really great looking photography too!👍
I have the Nitto Ridge Grapplers on my 2015 F-150 275 70R-18. Which is a 33” tire . It has 2 inch level with coil overs. I absolutely love these tires. I go off road a lot in Wayne National Forest in Southern Ohio. I have never had a problem getting through anything. Close to 10K miles and they look like new. Highly recommend them
I bought a set of 37s right when they came out for my F250. I drove a lot of highway miles and often tow heavy loads (well beyond what my truck is rated for). I now have 65k on them with lots of tread to go. They're still quiet, though a touch louder than the first half of life. I feel many people about them. I'm excited about the new Recon Grappler.
Thanks for your review! I’m getting 33” for my 2007 land cruiser tomorrow :)
Glad to see the comment I made have a video on it!! Thankyou
Wow, blown away by the production quality of this video. Many people just watch like anything else and have no idea what it takes to make a vid with this type of quality.
Thank you for appreciating all the hard work that goes into these!
I am on my first set and am very impressed! Colorado mountain driving and very little highway. I am a big fan!
Thanks man. Just bought these..good to know they’re deeecent
Another thing to mention is how light weight they are - 305/55/20s (33" tire) they're right around 50-51lbs which is 10-15lbs lighter than most other tires in the same size. Good for the smaller trucks to keep from killing fuel mileage and performance. Great videos, thanks for the review!
that means this tires won't affect the mpg in the trucks ?
Just another comment on how high the video & general camera work quality is... Great job!
Great review and it definitely helped me with my tire choice 🍻
Ive run terra grapplers for years . love them
Great video! Thanks for the info. These will probably be my next tires.
You won’t regret it. Love mine
Awesome video! It helped me out a lot!
Great review into the Nittos and hybrids in general. I think this style of tire has changed the game in my opinion. I hope you get a chance to try the Coopers and I would love to see how you think they stack up to Nittos. I'm running both the Nittos and Coopers on two different vehicles right now and I'm leaning towards the Coopers.
It would be hard to beat the Coopers.
I just ordered a set of these for my 2013 Nissan Titan. Can’t wait to get them installed next week. Thanks for the great review.
Thinking about getting them for my Titan also.How you liking them ?
I've had a set on my titan 2011 4 years now last great go better than the Hankook all trains I had that said had a much cheaper set of wild country mud tires and they did better in the snow
This does it for me.
I’m replacing my 33’s nitto ridge grapplers with exact the same ones my Denali is due for some new set of tires this guy convinced me to stick with what I already had 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Forgot to mention YES they’re very quiet tire for city hwy driving 👍🏽 absolutely zero noise
Your second Gen is so clean! 🔥🔥
Honestly, heard all I needed to hear in the first minute. ‘This is my 5th set’. Great video though, thanks!
Andrew, in your experience which has been the best tires for rain? I hate slipping and fishtailing so I've only bought ATs, but would you say the Ridge Grapplers are better than BFG KO2s in rain??
10k on lifted 2011 Tundra. Love these tires (35x12.50R20, F rated). Still close to new. Great snow grip, dirt and some mud (nothing extreme). This is all I would ever buy again.
Good review. Love that Gen2 !
That second gen with the walker evans 🔥😍
thanks bro made up my mind on these tires!
Maybe have to try these. Love the quietness on my 3rd gen mega cab but the trail grapplers only lasted me 13k miles and a little over a year before they started cracking
Great video. You helped me make my decision. Thank you.
Great video! I'm getting 37s 🤘
Great video! I’d like to try these (35x17s) I’ve always had KO2s but they always seem sketchy in the wet
I’m putting these on my Sprinter van. I had the wheel Wells expanded to fit them. My question is with mostly road driving could I get 100 K on these tires. I’m old and not that aggressive. Are they fairly puncture resistant?
Loving the videos and please post content on the tdi
Great video and informative 👍
how well do they perform on/in sand? the majority of my offroading will be on beaches in deep soft sand and M/T is horrible in sand, with these being a mix of A/T and M/T im kinda curious.
This is awesome video quality AND quality content. well done. What are those bronze wheels on the Dodge?
Thank you! They’re 20” Trail Ready wheels. 👍
Great informative video. Thank you
Love the truck and videos! What color is your truck? Very clean!
Interesting opinion and review
Great video !
What pressure do you run unloaded on pavement (normal driving) and when you air down for off road? I’m running NRG 35s on my 4th gen 2500 and like them so far (4k miles). I got the 12 ply F rated tires based on a recommendation from the boys at CJC ... might be overkill, but they are stout. I’ve been running 45 front 40 rear for normal driving which seemed to wear evenly with the chalk test. I haven’t tried airing down yet since I haven’t done much off-roading yet. Any recommendations?
Love your content... keep it up! 👊🏼
That's one of those things that really depends on your exact truck. 45 front and 40 rear is always a good start though!
I love my nitto ridge grappler, have about 30,000 miles on them. They still look brand new.
How often do you rotate them?
The quality of these vids and only 32K subs??? How???
Thanks for the info
That wheel and tire combo for that 2nd gen perfectly 👌
Also would those tires work on factory 2nd gen dodge dually 16 inch rims?
I agree
Love that 2nd gen!
I just purchased a 22 Nissan Pro4x I'm putting a 4inch lift with 285 70 17 all around live in SoCal what load range would you recommend for Ridge Grapplers? Thanks
Best hybrid truck tire period
How would you rate these against the terra Grappler G2? As in gas mileage, noise, and wet/snow driving?
I love the sidewall on these because it helps protect my wheels from curbs when I go to the grocery store
😆
That’s a good point. I didn’t think of that because if you have a very small sidewall you can easily damage the wheels but if it’s just tire who cares
You should check out the Kenda Klever RTs. Great tire! 6k miles and still loving them for the value you get!
They would be worth looking at if they weren't made in Taiwan or Vietnam.
I second that statement man I am loving my Klever RT. Perform better and extremely silent compared to the Nitto Trail Grapplers I had. Better grip on snow and I live in the mountains and did way better out in Moab. Loving that price point as well. Major head turners as well!
My tremor came with duratracs from the factory and the jump was massive when I went to ridge grapps. The Goodyears were louder, had less grip overall and didn't look as good. I have put 10k on the duratracs and they were about half way done. My nittos still look brand new with 15k on them, they just handle the 1,050 lb ft of torque better.
I agree 👍
What tire pressure are you using for daily driving?
what pressure do you run these for everyday / highway use?
Thank you for the review. Have you tried the Pirelli Scorpion AT Plus? How are they?
One question I do have is whats the lease amount of acceptable tread for these tires
Hello,
Liked your video!
What brand and model chrome wheels is on your white Dodge 2500 ??
I have been wheel shopping for my truck but have not seen these before!
Thanks
Those are a discontinued Walker Evans wheel. Extremely hard to find, but super cool!
Love mine too 👍
hey man! just wondering what the tire specs as seen on the 2nd gen at 3:52 are. are those 35's, or 33's? and what's the width and rim size thanks. oh and also does that 2nd gen have a life or levelling kit or is it stock height?
They’re 35/12.5/17 on 17x9 wheels with 4.5” backspace. The truck is on a 2” Thuren King 2.0 suspension system. Zero rub and zero trimming!
What is the best tire for highway miles? Also a tire that will not gather small stones from my 1,500' driveway then throw them out later while I'm driving.
Will this tire go through an automatic car wash?
How is the driving handle on the highway? Is it supposed to vibrate while driving i have 285/70/17
Very well done video!
Thank you very much!
I love those tires I got 90k miles of my last set
I just put on a set of Falken Wildpeaks..are they similar to Nittos?
What wheels are on the 3rd gen ram? Bronze colored ones
How do the Ridge Grapplers perform in the rain?
Hey brother. I got ridge grapplers on my 06 Dodge 3500 love them. Wearing great
I ordered some for my 17 2500 and I can't wait to get them. are they wearing good?
@@laneblount9888 11,000 miles still look new. G rated on a one ton. Arguably the best tires on the planet 👍
are those tires affect the mpg of the trucks ?
Great review. How do they compare to others driving on highway through heavy rain?
The siping and tread block design makes them perform quite well. I have no complaints!
Thank you!
My 35 Toyo RT are about done. Been a great tire. Probably gonna go 37 when I get tires and will strongly consider the Ridge Grappler just to try something else.
I love my 37x12.50x18 ridge grapplers
You won’t regret it
@@zanelucas512 I've had them on for a week now. Very nice!
I have had RT's and Ridge grapplers on my 15 F350 diesel...both 37's. Really liked the Ridge grapplers. I just got a 20 F250 7.3 Gas and did a Carli 3" level with 37x12.5x20. I tried the Yokohama X-AT's. Really pleased with these if not slightly quieter than the Ridge grapplers. Its hard to tell coming from a diesel to now gas. Check them out.
Love my grapps. No doubt
how do you like the 7.3 gas?
@@cbboiii1100 Love it. I pull the same work trailers and boats up to 16000 lbs. She has enough low end torque and gets the job done...Its no Powerstroke but basically does everything the same at 80%. There is an upfront 10k savings from gas to diesel and there is way less maintenance. The only thing I miss is the exhaust brake when pulling...make sure you have good brakes on your trailers. I trade every 4-5 years 100-150k miles and would get another gas.
I have a 24' Jeep Wrangler 4DR with 35" Ridge Grapplers on 18" Fuel's. What is the best pressure for mostly street driving? Please answer )-;
Please!
I'm thinking about putting them on my new 2021 Toyota 4Runner
Can you do a review on toyo at3s?
What rims are these please? The copper ones
When did they introduce the dual side walls on these tires? Or have they always bin that way?
They’ve been that way since they came out!
got these shoes on my rig up north never got stuck pulled plenty of trucks outta ditches
Picking up some of these for my 03 4x4, 4 door long bed Cummins. I was wondering what load range is good for a 1 ton. I do tow, but not a ton, and I do occasionally stick 3,000 to 6,000 in the bed of gravel. When I input 35 x 12.5 x 20, the rating that pops up first is 125Q F2. Seems like that would be heavy duty enough for my purposes. Thoughts?
Just pay attention to the max load in pounds per tire. If that meets your needs, you’re good to go!
What Tire pressure are you running these at for your daily? I have had these tires on my 2015 Ram 2500 and I didn't make it 30,000 miles. I love the tires and the looks and would like to keep running them but would like to get more mileage out of them.
What did you run them at? Normally, for a 2500, it’s around 60 psi
If justdiesel says they are good tires then they are really good tires so I’m buying a set of nittos ridge grapplers.
I’ve got zero complaints which is more than I can say for a lot of other tires I’ve tried!
Ya dude I’ve had them 40000 miles and they really are an awesome tire. Pricey but totally worth it. I assume just front the tread wear I have about 20000 left. Great in snow, soft sand, dirt, street, quite and aggressive looking
What camera are you using
What locking hubs are on your 3rd Gen? Wanting to put locking hubs on my 2020 Ram 3500. Thanks.
These are the Yukon Spin Free hubs. Dynatrac also makes a killer setup too.
Hell Yeah Brother
only have 2-300 miles on mine, they feel spongy , not sure how they will do with 15k trailer on the back
what about the toyo at3 open countrys?
Tires are soon needing to be replaced on my 2nd gen Cummins, maybe I will give these a shot !
You won’t regret it. Love mine
I only have 33,000 miles on my Ridge Grapplers (32”ers on a 2020 Tundra) and they are almost down to the tread wear marker and I am looking to buy new tires before winter sets in in Wyoming. I did pull a 3,500 lb trailer, with WD hitch, for almost 10,000 of those miles. I see folks talking of 60-70k miles. Did the 10k miles of trailer pulling wear my tires down that fast?
Probably. What’s your air pressure? Are you sure they’re E rated 10 ply?
What wheels are those??
got a 2007 ram 2500 stock. thinking about wheels and 35 inch tires. cant decide on wheel size what do you think ?
I have a 4th gen with cali offroad anarchy wheels. I love them. I get all kinds of comments about them. You might look into them
