Nitto Ridge Grappler?

[jeffkunkle]

2. anyone running 285 Nitto Ridge Graplers on a gen 5 if so whats your set up, rims lift cut.
I only have a 3" Bilsten lift and seem stuck with the choice of Nitto 265/70/17 (true diameter 31.65) Ridge, OR BFG 275/70/17 (true diameter 32.2) so Id lose about >1/4" of ride height. Im not sure new rims and cutting is worth 1/2" or ride height between 285 and 265 Nittos YET.

No rub for me... I've got 285/70/17 E-class Nitto Ridge Grapplers on my 2010 4R. OME lift (2.5" or 3"), stock rims, front wheel wells cut out already to accommodate a Shrockworks bumper. I can barely fit my pinky between the tire and UCA though.
Gas mileage is surprisingly similar to my previous 285/70/17 Grapplers. ~17.5mpg between highway and local. I was right at 20mpg for strictly highway.

I like them. No rub after the fender liner mod. 285/70r17 They run slightly louder than the stock Dunlop tired but not nearly as loud as other tires I have had in the past. They drive soft which I like. Zero fuel mileage loss from the stock set up to the lifted set up. I was surprised by that one. Used them off road once and they seemed to perform fine. I'm no expert so I can really give you a true off road report.

What is your front lift? did you what did you trim? Im going to run XD131 rims its about the same as SCS, so looking for a preemptive cut from the shop to my house.

Same for me on 3rd gen. Bit bummed. Was hoping I'd have enough for chains up there in the winter but no go unless I get a spacer and don't really want to do that.

Are you guys ordering these from Discount Tires?

Yes for me. See my past post I have cost and all in there.

Boom.

Yes. I know I'm spamming these pics in every thread.

Got a chance to take these out on some fire roads today up near Fairplay. I'm really enjoying the look and feel of these tires. I will say that road noise is definitely greater than for the stock terra grapplers, but not excessively so. Just a slight hum when driving.

Got'em love'em

285/70/17 c, 3" Bilstien lift, on 17x8 XD-131 Robbie Gordon rims. Pushed the front wheel well forward. Only rub is slight backing up on a hill at full lock. I will most likely black out the XD on the center caps.

Sorry I missed this. Yes - C range. Great tires so far but still early in life. I did the fender mod that I saw on here before putting the tires on and no rub. No spacers.

Kage, thanx they look good n will b looking into getting a set soon . Need to save up some!

58.2 pounds for this tire. I would expect others could vary by up to a pound or less.
Nitto specs have them at 54 pounds each.

looks like 285 up side down

 

[Boyds4Runner]

285/75/17 C and E appear to be available now!

 

[DreamRun08]

I would love to see the Ridge Grappler in a size 285 65 r17 for my 8in wide wheel. it has about the same diameter as a 265 70 r17 but is a bit wider(.79in) If you guys feel the same way please request it at their website

If they get enough requests they may start producing them

Can someone who has these verify that they are stamped with "M/S" on the side wall....

While I know the jury is still out on how these perform in the snow, and it appears they are not "snow flake" rated I'm curious if they will pass for a "snow tire" as far as the law is concerned. Hence stamped "M/S"

Thanks,

Sand can be just as bad...

And snow isn't all that far of a drive!

Thanks for the confirmation!
