I have 37" ridge grapplers on my diesel f250 and that rig is quieter than my wife's Mazda CX3 by a long shot. These tires are the shit.

Great video! Been looking for this for weeks

well done and solid data for comparison. Exactly what I was looking for. thanks for the great vid.

Spot on assessment! I couldn't agree more! Mine hold slight noise at best! Best purchase I've made!

I have the ridge grapplers on my 18’f150 6in lift 35 x12.5 had them for 8k miles, i rotate them every 2k miles and they still get louder each month compared to when they were new still love em tho! Still best looking tire out there and still quieter than a M/T

I’ve got new ones on my 22 Tremor. Unbelievably quiet and nice ride for the ridge grapplers

Thank you, this was helpful.

Thanks for your video presentation... Very well done. I also have Ridge Grapplers on my truck and could not be more pleased ! Current mileage is @ 18k & I faithfully rotate them every 3,000-3,500 miles. Quiet as can be... Look great... Ride great... Perform great... etc. Nitto definitely has a winner here ! FYI... As for your road test results, there may be a possible flaw in your head-to-head comparison... Unless your OEM stock tires are also 35", then your cruise control hwy speeds do not actually match for each set of tires. When you upsize your tires, then your speedometer is off & you're actually traveling faster than the speedometer reading indicates... which means you're inducing more potential noise into the test while traveling at higher speeds on the Ridge Grapplers. If you do end up doing that follow-up comparison test in the future, you may want to take that into consideration to keep the testing standards consistent. Thanks again...!

I just got convinced to get the Ridge grapplers over the toyo open county At2 because of more noise in the latter (according to the guy at the shop) and I always loved the nitto pattern better. The highway vibration is something I saw in another video for my Ram about a year ago when i started research. Anyway, thanks for the great video and as subjective a test you could make.

great video man

Thank you for testing information.

I feel the same vibration on the highway over 60 mph. I am hyper sensitive to this and I definitely feel it. I have only driven about 700 miles on them.

Great video very helpful.

Great video 👍

That is quite a bit of work switching out the tires to do the test thank you for the info

Freaking awesome video bro thats exactly what I was looking for thanx

Thanks for the great video, I want to replace my Trail Grapplers on my Rubicon,they way too loud,this video helped me 👍

You’re doing a video on the tires I want while the dude pulls up in an f150 with the wheels I want. It’s a sign.

i have 37'' on my 2012 ram 2500 diesel with a 6'' lift, have 60 thousand miles on them and a little more left , all good not loud at all , would put another set on no problem. just take care of your tires is key

I’m running 35/12.5R18 on my 20’ Ram 4x4 , with a 3.5” lift RC , definitely will keep buy them over and over , Ive had Nitto terra grapplers g2 before on my tundra 18’ , no comparison I will recommend the RG hands down

Kenda Klever R/T's are the quietest truck tires I've ever driven. They are awesome.

On my third set. 68000 miles out of each of the first two sets. I love em . Very quiet . Unlike Toyos they do not get louder as they wear.

I had gotten some BF Goodrich KM3. Love them! Great looks! But after 5 months it was terrible! I couldn’t use my Bluetooth. I went back to discount tire got the quietest tires. Michelin defenders. I appreciate smooth & quite ride

I have 38" Ridge Grapplers on my Wrangler 392. It is a smooth running tire. I don't hear any tire noise. Of coarse I am listening to the sweet music of that Hemi! Lol

You have to consider radial pull. Do you think a Suspension upgrade may help you? I balanced my tires using beads and they were dead on for 50k miles.

Thanks for the video. I’m planning to run these once i get a little more use out of the original. I’d be interested to see you repeat the sound test after a few months.

Old video but just letting you know that it’s still helpful.

You helped a lot thank you so much!

The vibration is coming from the steering since you got bigger and heavier tires.. if you lift the keep and put 35s I’ll suggest you get steering stabilizers .... one is enough... you won’t feel anymore vibration

As you mentioned, they are always quiet when new, even Trail Grapplers. Come back and do this again at 20k miles. The Trails are the loudest tire I've ever run. I think I'm going with the Terras, Duratrac, BFG AT or Toyo ATII.

Good choices. How much poke do you have for the tires? And did you need to add wheel spacers. I am not sure about the backspacing on those wheels. I am in the market for wheels/ tires and want to have minimal poke.

Great video. Curious to know what you can describe this vibration to be as which you mentioned towards the end of the video? Was it at low speeds at all?

Got 25k on my ridge grapplers in 285 75 16 They are an 8 volume despite immaculate rotation and balancing every 5k miles. Easily the second loudest tire I've ever had behind a cheap set of muds. If I didn't have so many miles on them I would sell them in a heartbeat right now

I have Ridge Grapplers on my 1989 K5 Jimmy. I really like them and feel the road noise is very minimal. I actually can’t hear them normally unless I try to listen for them. I’m sure my 31 year old truck even though in great shape is probably noisier than a new Jeep so I hear the tires less I’m sure for that reason.

Do you prefer a br goodrich ko2 all terrain tire or the ridge grappler for a 2wd ram 1500? I want a off road look bit don't really go off road any. But I don't like to much humming noise. Just trying to get a better opinion on that. Thanks

Awesome video! What psi are you running?

Vibration can be the suspension. Im going to upgrade my tires, choose 295/60-20 Nitto , but because my truck has 105,000 miles and going with brand new suspension. Factory suspension, control arms, terminals, etc.

The wind can make a big difference. You should have done decibel reading going the opposite direction, same section of road with both tires.

I've had 33x12.5 20 Ridge grapplers on my '19 F150 for about 2500 miles. I'm not impressed, AT ALL. They are not quiet by any means. They HUMMMM like a MFer. I also cannot get rid of the vibration above 55mph. The vibration gets worse up to about 87 but at 90 it's completely smooth. 3 road force balances by 3 different shops using a hunter elite machine. 2 tires requiring above 30# and 2 tires requiring almost 50# of road force. I don't know if I just got bad tires but I hate these dam things. I've opened a case with Nitto and hoping they replace all 4. The only thing positive I can say about these tires is that they, IMO, have the best looking sidewall.

Put almost 30 k on my ridge grapplers before I sold my Jeep . The first 5 k was a quiet ride . 2nd rotation I could hear a slight hum . By 12-15k I got a steady hum , especially between 45-75 mph . But it wasn’t unbearable

I drove 285/55r22 Nitto Ridge Grapplers for 50k and I switched to the same size 285/55r22 Toyo AT3 and they are way quieter and WAY better in the snow on my F-150

Good Video! 6:51 are those Ridge Grapplers I see?

I put them on my F150 FX4 THEY ARE GOOD TIRES

And don't forget that your actual speed is greater with larger diameter tires than your posted speed, so that's even better review.

Hello, does a negative offset make it louder ?

Any difference in steering ? My toyo mt’s would follow every crack in the road

If you’re not on stock wheels you may need hub centric rings to remove that vibration

👍👍

Wish you would do another video regarding to ridge grabbler. Say after 25 to 30000 miles. Then possibly establish the level of road noise. Like the ridge grabbler just need more info prior to the investment....thanks

I did not care how loud they are.. I listen to my 12 inch speakers music system 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

What is the name of the app you use on the phone?

Do your new rims center bore fit the hub or is there a gap?

Good choice. The Nittos will probably outlast the Jeep!

Mine were great until 15k miles and have steadily gotten louder since then. Now at 21k miles they are a bit annoying. 2019 RAM 2500, brand new truck, no alignment issues, rotated every 5k miles. The bigger problem is with 7/32 tread left at 20k miles I’m on track to be worn out by 30k miles. For such an expensive tire it should last longer.

They get louder as they wear down

You don't want road noise go with the Terra G2s 90,000 plus miles rotated every 5k and buying the same very soon.

Something to add. Jeeps don't have any kind of sound proofing compared to any newer truck.

The look of the tires wasn't worth the vibration to me when 80 MPH is normal cruising speed. The same thing happened to me and bounced around tire shops figuring they would get smooth at high speeds but they never did. Your right around the fact a more aggressive tire with vibration at high speeds is a thing. Can't blame the company though or the installer, all-terrain tires aren't engineered for smooth 80-90 travel, though they did seem to balance out (kinda) around 100 MPH. Still, I switched to Goodyear all seasons and have no issues going right to the limiter.

Psi?

Mine aren't (-:

Wait till you get about 12 to 15k on them

They’re not to loud, ran nitto mud grapplers 35’s. Those can be annoyingly loud.

Wait until you get 10k-15k on them...🤪

The reason for the subjectivity is the ineptitude to properly review in proper detail the situation. And this being the speed each person drives mostly, whether they have the radio On and what volume level, and the air inflation rate. All of these people mostly don't know to isolate once they decide to access the tires and then profess to other people what was happening. They're just doing their thing, and having their emotions about the situation under their personal conditions, then go and give a tire review or comment without even thinking of all proper parameters to have considered in the moment. For this Jeep, not made to be a wind tunnel hero, seems the noise is more what you are dealing with.

Doing the lift is the most dumb thing to do
