Nitto Ridge Grappler?

[T4R4L]

I've driven about 700 miles on them and so far I love them. Most of the driving is on city roads and the freeway, but we did take a trip over the weekend and drove aprox. 45 miles on dirt roads and easy OR trails. They performed very well and the road noise even at highway speeds was very quiet. Comparing to the Terra Grapplers I had on my Xterra prior to the 4R I would say the cabin noise is actually less (Some of this may be due in part to the 4R being quieter than the Nissan anyways, but still a pleasant surprise to me).

The only thing I would note is if you have never driven E rated tires on a mid sized SUV the ride may feel bouncier than usual. This is not an issue for me as I have been using E rated Terra Grapplers for 7-8 years now and am used to it. If you do a lot of on-road driving and want to keep the squishy feel, you may want to look at a C rated tire as they will be softer.

Really good to hear, thanks for the update. Looks like they do offer the Ridge Grapplers in C and E. I doubt you would going from Terras to these, but have you noticed any drop in MPG?

Also, would love to see pics of them on your T4R if you can!

I believe the "C" is only in the 285's, if you go stock 265 size "E" is your only option. If the stock size was in a "C" load I'd be interested in these. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks for the feedback! - considering these or the BFG KO2s in the 285 size.

Here is the current sizing list they have posted. Very limited right now, but I'm sure they will add if the tire sells well. I went with E load tires mainly because I needed new rubber and my next option was either Toyo RTs or Duratracs which are both E load tires anyways. It also helps these were much less than my other options...

I only drove the vehicle a couple hundred miles with the factory tires so I won't have much of a comparison, but I averaged 17.4 MPG on my 500 mile trip with 5 passengers and a full camping load out. I'll continue to watch it and see if it changes up or down from there.

I'll also take some pictures of the tires on the truck after work and post them this afternoon.

Thank you...same info I saw as well.

[MENTION=143100]aspec44[/MENTION] thanks for the update. I have run E load tires on my xterra and I think I am going to wait for the C load 285's. The C load is fine for what I normally do and I would prefer a bit more comfort this time around. I hope it doesn't take to long for the C load 285's to come out.

May have missed it, but does anyone know what the 285 flavor weighs?

Lookin good! I wasn't sure which side wall pattern to go with, but after looking at yours I can see either one is a winner.

Had the 285/70r17 Ridge Grapplers put on today as well. Haven't driven too far on them yet and still need to get my truck aligned, but they ride extremely well and the road noise is actually pretty similar to the stock 265 Terra Grapplers

 

[bjohnston115]

They seem similar to the ST MAXX Coopers, both being a mid point between an AT and MT Tire. Wonder how they compare...

Now if only someone would make a 255/80/17 tire in Load Range C and I would be very happy!

 

[Magnetic4R]

is it me or is the side patterns different? is that an option or certain load has different side patterns?

Each side of the tire has a different pattern. If you don't like it, you can always have the tire shop flip the tire around to the other style.

These tires perform great off-road and on the street thus far. Haven't driven in the rain a lot yet though. Here are some photos from Ouray and Moab this week.

I did some googling but couldn't find the weight of the 285s. Anyone know how they compare to the same size K02s?

 

[jstim]

If you search this discount tire posted about the weights. The 285 in C range weighs 54 pounds if I remember correctly. If I am recalling all the info right the 285 E range weighs 58 pounds. I read it yesterday, somebody feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

I read the same!
