Nitto Ridge Grappler?

Installed my 285/70/17 C loads this morning and went straight to the trails. Found some snow and mud. They did good.

I'm glad to hear "They did good." Would you care to elaborate on that? How well did they grip? Did they slip or spin? Did you air down? Especially interested in their snow performance. Tx.

They did decent in mud. Definitely not a mud tire but can hold its own compared to a lot of the other A/T tires on the market. We did a muddy hill climb and only managed to get 3/4 way up with ATRAC and the rear locker engaged. Took about 3 tries. Did slightly better than my friends truck with KO2's.

Didn't have any issues in snow(it was mostly ice). Yes there was some spin in the deeper spots but nothing a little rocking can't solve. I didn't air down, kept it at 35psi and stayed in 4HI. Just a small test to see how well they perform on the forest service roads, the easy stuff. I'll take it to the Offroad parks next and see how flat they can get on some boulders.

Put some info in your Signature! What rims/ lift etc. that way we don't have to reply and ask. What spec are those rims?
 
Wondering what size ridge grapplers to go with, 285/70 or the 285/75 both in the C rating. Seems like most people went with the 70. How would your compare the two other than the height difference ?

They weigh more. Other than that there is no difference other than the height difference. Width is identical. I run the 285/75's was there a more specific question I could help with?
 
Almost went with Duratracs again. I had them on my 13 4Runner and plowed through the snow, did pretty good on mud and rocks... I had 40% left with 40,000 miles.

This time went with Nitto Ridge Grapplers 285/75/17's. So far so good!!!

Skaterpdx, did you regear ? If not how the truck performs with 285/75 ?


No regear yet... It's on my list with a rear locker, but my budget is blown on other stuff.

Acceleration is really not that bad, I can still get on it and it moves.

I am about to add skid plates, front and rear bumper w/swing, winch and a CVT. Then regearing may move to the top of my list...
