Just curious as to what you've seen. I think the Nitto "show truck" brand that they once were is long gone, personally.

Tell them to wheel harder ;P I’m basing my opinion on direct experience using RGs for two years in variable conditions.
Here they are clogged with mud 100 miles from pavement when we were traversing the dead zone in the Baja Peninsula. They fared no better than any normal AT in mud and it took me a couple of hours to get out of this.
Here they are being sliced open on a mildly rocky trail in Northern California 3 of the 4 tires had sidewall gashes. This one had a failed sidewall , was running 20 psi.
Here they are failing me with lateral snow traction up on a shelf road in the backcountry of Washington State. This was the last straw for me.
So yeah I’ve used them and won’t be running them again.
