keeping the tires properly aired, balanced, & rotated are the key to long tire life.

I’ve had Ridge Grapplers on my F-150 now for 2 years. Do mostly over landing and very happy with them. No issues at all, and get through whatever I challenge them to do!

Ridge Grapplers are the best I’ve had on Ram so far.

2016 Ram 1500 4x4 Hemi RCSB 3.92s 2.5 Bilstein level on 35 Nitto Terra Grapplers G2s and just rounding 90000 miles and the tires still have a little life, level and tires I did when I bought her new. Still on the alignment I had done when I lifted, tires rotated every 7000miles,only balanced twice, still original steering and suspension and brake components. Will be buying the same tire soon. couldn't be happier with this Rig.

Love the Nitto i wish i had seen this video a year ago! But next time, maybe in the following 13 month i will get this kind of ones. Great explanation

I'm running 37" RT's on my F250. Rides so nice.

Great video !, only down fall to my RTs is nice smooth pavement when raining kinda got to drive like your on ice other than that great tire !

I don’t know about toyo but I got 80,000 miles out of my 35” trail grapplers. I was very happy with them!

I have had both and agree with you...I now have the Geolander X-AT and prefer these slightly better to the Ridge grappler. I had the 295 65 R20's, and put 5000 miles on them on my 3" Carli lifted 7.3 and am installing the 37 12.5 20's today.

I've had 3 sets in a row of the Toyo Open Country RT's. On a 2017 GMC 1500 Z71 with a 6" lift, running 35x12.50r22s, a 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with a 4.5" lift running 35x12.50r20s and a 2019 F250 Limited with a 3.5" lift running 37x12.50r22s. Hands down the BEST BEST BEST tire I have ever run. I'm 43 years old and have been buying off-road tires for 27 years. I've had them all. From BFG ATs & MTs, Kelly Springfield's, Super Swamper's, Nittos, Mickey Thompson's, Pathfinders, Toyo's, Yokohama's, you name it, and I've tried it. I get ridiculous good mileage out of the Toyo Open Country RTs. I just put 60k miles on my most recent set on my F250. I had been hearing tons of stuff on the Ridge Grappler and see a ton of guys running them so I tried a set. Went from the 37s on my F250 down to a set of 35x12.50r22 Ridge Grapplers. I'm a little shocked to hear the guy in the video saying the Ridge Grapplers were quieter. Seriously? Not on my truck. My other complaint was how the Ridge Grapplers handle in the rain. TRASH! I live in Texas and we get big down pours. The only time I drove in heavy rain the truck handled like garbage! I sold the F250 last week and bought a 2022 GMC Sierra Denali 2500. Going strait back to the Open Country RTs. Best off road tire I've ever had. The Ridge Grapplers look cool as hell but I didn't like them. That's my $0.02

I have a 2021 F250 with toyo rt in 37/12.5/20 with 54,000 miles on them.They have been great.They are at the end of their life and have been louder the past 20,000 miles.I just purchased a set of Nitto ridge grapplers in the same size.I’m having them put on this week.Hope they last as long as the RT’s and also hope they are not as loud.

I couldn't purchase the Toyo CTs (long wait time)so I got the RTs... and love them ..

RT 13.50 37" 20's on my '17 Ram CTD. 30k miles and just slightly less than half tread left. They've worn evenly, ride smoothly and are fairly quiet. Tires are round with one assembly only taking 3/4 ounce to balance. Of course, I always look for Road Force Touch balancing machines. Great tire if your truck sees a lot of street use. My only complaint is that my experience in the snow with them was not good. Puckered me up a few times. Will definitely buy another set.

Always good info. Surprised you guys don't have more subscribers.

Between my JKUR and Ram Rebel I’ve ran Toyo M/T, R/T, AT2 and AT3. The M/T is of course the superior off road tire with good on road manors. The R/T was a great all around except in snowy conditions. Fits nicely as a hybrid tire in Toyo OC line up. AT2 (had 2 sets) was a strong competitive all terrain tire but that new AT3 is a lot better and looks great.

Just put NITTO ridge grapplers on my new SuperDuty only have about 2-300 miles but so far so good. 37x12.50 on some 20 inch Method wheels.

A tire that is rarely mentioned is the nitto exo grappler. I threw them on my 2018 f350 and love them! Also a hybrid, maybe leaning a bit more towards the MT styling but 2 major things that make them excel over the ridge grappler or RT's: 1) they have the 3-peak mountain snowflake rating for winter and wet conditions (many guys I first hand asked about the the ridge graps said they're plain scary in the wet or snow and here in the vancouver area that is a deal breaker) and 2) They're built for heavy duty trucks like the big heavy diesels. Definetely worth checking out if you have a superduty or cummins etc...as they should out last and out perform both the ridge graps or the RT's in many cases. A real hidden gem. I've had ko2's and open country at2's on other trucks and like these the best so far. At3's could be a new contender too!

Thanks for the great view

Most people don’t know this, but both of these tires are made in the same factory north of Atlanta in a town called White, GA.

I’m running the nitto ridge grapplers on my 19 f250 work truck 25k miles so far ride great and drive on average 50-75 miles of rough oilfield lease roads daily at pretty high speed which normally tear up tires pretty fast but these are holding up very well and I’m super impressed they will be going on my personal vehicle when it needs tires.

I didn’t know the RT’s had been out so long. I always kinda thought duratracs were the OG hybrid. I’m definitely gonna go with nitto or Toyo on my wrangler jk this time. Just can’t decide between the RT or Trail grappler 🧐 Plus both nitto and toyo are made in my home state of Georgia!

I have the Toyo RT’s (E rated) on my ram 2500 and I’m at 49k miles with decent tread life left. I’m fixing to buy another pair and sell these on eBay. I live in very humid and hot Mississippi and haven’t had any issues at all with these tires!!

I have Toyo RT tires on my RAM and they work absolutely great a little loud though

The R/T is a great all around tire for towing, everyday driving , dirt and snow. Not very good in ice, but that obvious with the lack of sipping and big tread blocks.

Would love to hear your thoughts on Nitto Ridge Grapplers vs Toyo Open Country A/T IIIs - specifically on ride quality and noise comparison. Thanks!

Well done!

I went from the ridge grappler to the Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT (both in 37x12.5/R17) The cooper doesn’t look quite as aggressive and it was a about 1/4” shorter in height BUT it’s made in America by an American company (now more important than it ever has been), significantly lighter in weight and based on my first 20,000 miles on them, they will last approximately 60-70,000 miles with rotation every 6500 miles. I was replacing my ridge grapplers at 45k due to them becoming ice skates in the rain at that point.

I got 60k out of my RTs on my 1500 sierra with regular rotations. They also have a tread warranty, you forgot to mention that lol. I went with the nitto terras on my 19 F250 because i wanted the agressive look but regret the road noise a little. I don't take it offroad seriously so my next set will probably be the ridge grapplers.

Hey I checked both of those out but went for some Coopers. Excellent video

Another great video... Im a kook I went for the Toyo MT because I like the way it looks

Can't wait to see the new Toyo AT3 on a truck in sizes 35 & 37!

I’m from TX and farm for a living, so constant mud, huge ruts, bad roads etc etc but in the winters spend 80% of my time in the mountains snowboarding. Been running the RT And I’m on my second set but looking into the Toyo CT and putting a carli and innov8 wheels on it. Wanted to know what y’all or anyone else thinks of the C/T

I use the Copper load F on my SRW F350. Noise is minimal and it's got better traction than the Nitto ridgeline load F.

I’ve ran all of these and I’d say the nitto trail grapplers do well on the heavy trucks too. I got similar life out of those as I did my Toyo mts. I have not ran BFGs or Coopers on 3/4 tons yet but on my 1/2 ton I’m currently running stt pros and have ran ko2s and they have lasted a long time! I can imagine it would not be the case on a heavier truck tho..

I've put over 95,000 miles on two sets of Toyo Open Country R/Ts. 55k on the first and still have a good amount of tread on the second set. The next set will again be Toyo Open Country R/Ts.

Man one. I had too mt on two trucks and my current ram 2500. My toyo mts where awesome! They were pretty quiet! I switched to ridge grapplers and they make the truck handle funky! I hate them. Have had the two swapped out and they was slightly better but still cause the truck to halve and wonder funky. Mostly at freeway speeds. Maybe its just my luck.

Both great 👍

Another great tire is the yokohama mt. They're quit a bit quieter then the toyo mt's that I had before and are wearing much better as well.

I could not get the Ridge Grapplers to balance. Multiple attempted to balance and I had extreme vibration.

What’s your thoughts on the exo grapplers? Or any history? I’ve got roughly 10k on mine and really impressed

How would you compare the Toyo Open Country A/T III’s vs the Nitto RG? Thanks!

I have the Ridge Grapplers on my K5 and I like them so far. Quiet below 50mph and slight hum over 50. I have 325 60 18 so they are wide and I hit a flooded area of a street under a bridge at 55 mph and it got sketchy quick with that short wheelbase K5 but that has less to do with tire design and more to do with the width I chose and the wheelbase of the truck. It wanted to get sideways at 55 LOL. Still waiting to get them off road.

I got a Ram 2019 Ram . I pull a 34 ft travel trailer dry weight is 11000 lbs. Whish tires do you think I can get good tread milage from the Nitto Ridge Grappler or the Toyo Open Country R.T. I also want to put after market wheels on. Look at the 20x10 with a negative 19. Like to put a 35x12.50 on my 2019 Ram . Will it fit on a stock height 2500.

Toyo RT’s on my 76 cruiser in 🇦🇺 ... unbeatable

Look at the kenda klever rt, Great tire!!

Could you comment or try on the new General Grabber AT3 ?

I like how he said my ram, Ford.... even.. chevy.

Nitto ridge grappler is the best tire I've owned for my f250 I will only buy these from now on

What size tire can I put on my 2018 Chevy 2500hd with out having to put a leveling kit or lift kit on it I’ll be using my stock 20” wheels I would like to put a 275/65/20 on it but not sure if they will rub stock tires are 265/60/20 thanks

I had a 2014 ram diesel 6" lift on toyo 37 MTs i got 60,000 miles on 3 sets i put on that truck over the years i had it . what is all this noise about short lifespan ? they change the compound or something ??

On my recent set of RG's I got about 28k miles. 98% road driving. Is that about normal?

Cjc offroad have you tried Firestone Destination MT2?

which one treads water better?

i wish there was a toyo a/t in 37x13.5r18

Tires of this type have been around for a very long time. They have existed as "commercial traction" tires. They have just never been marketed heavenly to the average consumer. Kelly Springfield was the lone exception. They had the DTR back in the early 1990's and then the TSR in the 2010's. Both of these were aggressive hybrids and i have owned multiple sets of each. The TSR was and is fantastic. They are quit, well mannered, very capable off-road, and have very long tread life. So, to me, the Kelly TSR should be credited with starting the modern useful 'hybrid" tire trend not Nitto. Nitto deserves the gold star though for cashing in and reviving a market no one seemed to believe was so large. Back in the 80's and 90's bro trucks use to rock hard core mud tires or other "all terrains" that were designed purely for looks such as the SS Thorn Birds and various other offerings from Mickey Thompson and Dick Cepek. Most of these modern "hybrids" perform better off road than the old stuff.

I live in the southeast where we get a lot of rain and water sitting on the road. I want a tire that is good for these conditions, but also aggressive and will do well in the sand and other off-road scenarios. I have been looking at the Toyo MTs, but would like some feedback and other options.

I have a 2010 f150 crew cab. Running 33x12.50 toyo rt. Have 80,000 miles and still have great tread left

So these come with any warranty? How many miles ?

I only could get 40,000 out of my Ridge Grapplers but have over 50,000 on my RT’s so far

I’ve had two pairs of those Nittos and they wore out in 8 months each time. The second pair delaminated tread within 90 mins of running a dirt road. -a dirt road also run in mini vans by my students...so not good.

Load Range E or F?

How about weight differences with the common tires you guys run? I'm assuming this would help understand about "stopabilty" and/or milage. Also, what kind of milage differences from stock are people are seeing? Granted this depends on alot of different factors.

I have the Ridge Grappler on a 17 Silverado 1500 in a 295-55-20. I have 85,000 miles on them and about 40 percent tread left. Rotated them about 4 or 5 times since I've had em. Will probably last about 100k to 120k miles. I guess that's what you get with a load E tire on a half ton truck.

What is your preferred method of balancing these large tires, weights or beads? Thx 👍

The Ridge Grapplers are the best I've ever run on my Ram diesels. I just drove, a week ago, through one of the worst and earliest winter storms in Minnesota on my way to Montana. I was driving on 1 inch of ice and sleet mix. A dozen tractor trailers and a slew of cars and trucks had run off the side of the roads. I never slipped once on those surfaces. When my Ridge Grapplers wear out, I'll be buying another set. I also do a lot of hunting and the tires are amazing on mud and snow.

Any longevity comparisons between those 2 for ram diesels or other heavy duty trucks. Have heard really good things on the RT's for mileage wear. Didn't know if the ridge grapplers were as good?

This is great because I have been wondering about the performance of the Nittos as compared to Toyo. We have been using Toyo Open Country AT's with great success at our business. It sounded like you said the Toyo was best at the end. Did I hear that correct? I'm going with a USA made tire and if both are made in America, I'm leaning toward the Nitto based on your statement that it is the quietest.

How do you guys like the Nitto Terra Grappler G2's in 37x12.50R17?

Have you tried the Geolander X-AT? Just mounted a set. Seems like a good contender for best mix use tire. Long time KO2 Fan so will be interesting how these stack up. Nitto Grappler has a 2 Ply sidewall vs Toyo RT 3 ply. That was the main reason to not run the Nitto tire for me.

What about the KO2's? Ill be needing a new set this coming fall. I have a 15 laramie ram 2500 with a 6.7

Great video as always, got the notification. I WAS interested in the Nitto, after you guys said it is super quiet. But, when I contacted Nitto about a mileage warranty, they don't offer anything.. they lost me on that deal unfortunately.

Im getting my nitto

What exact set up is on the Ram in this video at 3:02 ???? Tire and Rim size

How are the tires in wet traction “heavy rain on-road”???

You filmed this on base huh

On my first set of R/T's, not impressed with the tread life and spins bad on wet surfaces. No burn outs, easy braking and turning. Might try the M/T's next as they have great reviews.

I prefer swampers. I love noisy tires just like a loud exhaust let them hum.

For you diesel owners, what load range you running? E or F?

What tire and dimension do you guys think will work with stock 2018 ram 2500 with 35’s

I've got 20k miles on my Ridge Grapplers and faithfully rotate them every 3,500 miles Without question, THE greatest hybrid tires available, hands down...!!!

You Guys should try the km3s

Nitro and Toyo = same company. 👍

These off roaders aren't cheap, either! For something you throw around in the dirt, these all terrains are so unbelievably expensive.

Thats funny "if your doing burnouts in your truck" I bet the guys that say they get 12k probably don't mention any burnouts they've done lol

Neither of those for me. Mickey Thompson mtz p3 !

RT are a great tire, I run them on my truck

The Maxxis Razr AT is a comparable tire to both of these. Quieter then the Toyo RT

Toyo RT...👍👍

What are the tire dimensions? It looks to me like the ridge grappler is slighter taller and a bit wider even though I’m sure they’re the same size.

Can you run ridge grapplers at 65 psi safely.

I wonder when Toyo is going to do an update on the RT’s....

What's the wheel at 2:07 in bronze! Sickk

Hello guys. I’m in Canada and the one thing I’ve found with all the A/T or R/T tires is that they are ok in snow and suck on ice. That said and I know you are down in California where you don’t get a winter but I was wondering if you had an opinion or recommendation towards these tires inability to grad on ice.

Have yall tried 37" Discoverer STT Pros?

I had the RTs and they were terrible in the snow. I thought they'd be better honestly.

Bought the ridge grapplers, but got wrong spec for 1/2 Ton. 10ply super stiff, bad riding but will last awhile.....

Toyo RT. RAM 1500

how are the ridge grapplers in winter?

I don’t mind road nose

Have you ever run bfgoodrich KO2 on any of your RAM 2500?
