Nitto Ridge Grappler?

[zonzin]

Just bought a set in 285/70r17 C-Load and used the discount!

I ordered a set of 255/80-17's,, they are sitting at a Firestone waiting for me to show up for install. Having them done in Hillsborough OR when I go visit family for Christmas. With the 10% and no tax they were 858$ out the door.:becky:

Printed out Tirebuyer OTD price and took to Discount and they matched it!

285/70/17s in C load. Debated on going with the P tires but with the amazing price Tirebuyer has them for with Nitto discount and then matching local, hard to beat!

Whats your rigs total height?

4Runners with Ridge Grapplers.

After serious research it seems I will be going with Ridge Grapplers over KO2s, Wildpeaks and Duratracs.

My question is for those with Nitto Ridge Grapplers with 3inches or less of a lift.
What is the total height of your rigs now?

I ask because my rig is a daily driver and my works parking structure has a limit of 6ft 9inches. I dont want to go above 6'8" to be safe. Last thing I need is to wedge myself under a piling. lol

To the top of the factory roof rack rails, 76 1/2" and 83 1/4" to the top of my SmittyB roof rack. . That is with 3" lift, and 255/80-17's.

I'm fitting in parkades around 6'6" with no problem. (Running 285/65 tires with 3" lift)

I just posted my KO2s for sale so I can get into these, but it’s a little disappointing to hear such low mileage results from those using these. I don’t drive much, maybe 10,000 miles a year but to only see 30-40k out of these Nittos seems unacceptable.

Don't forget that it depends on how you use them. I am always at the expected life on street use tires, but my offroad tires wear at a rate of 25,000 miles.

This is in the Southwest though and desert terrain is very harsh on tires.

If you are following John The Lucks California trip thread (from Canada), you will notice his KO2s had been wearing extremely well until their tread suddenly deteriorated during a single trip with lots of miles in the desert.

Thanks for that info! As someone who off-roads a lot, I understand the torture that such activities subject the tires to. I guess I still expected more than 40,000 out of these, but I’m one who will spend the money on tires if they perform.

Okay I have made it through 20 pages of the 50 something and I noticed that most people went with the 285's, is there a reason why? I was looking at 305/70 for some SRS wheels I also don't have a lift yet but I am looking into the Eibach lift kit.

 

[Decipher]

285/70-17 is a sweet spot for a lot of people who can usually fit them without UCAs and a body mount chop. Not everyone can make it work but most, myself included.

Weight and other issues come into play with the bigger size at that point which amounts to a minimal overall difference for much greater hassle.

I will be coming form Gener grabber A/T2's that were on my Xterra. I do know SCS SR8 or F5 wheels I really like the wide stance. 285's might work also. Is there a huge difference between the c and E I know one is 6 or 8 ply and he E is 10 but is the ride that much stiffer, if anyone has had both. I was looking at Goodyear Wrangler MT/R but read that they can't seem to hold a balance. I have no lift now, but I am planning on going with the Icon stage 1 and some UCA's, or the Eibach kit and some UCA. I think I am screwing things up more since I am reading every thread about lifts and wheels. but I do know I want these for tires and SCS for wheels.

I have 12k miles on the Ridge grapplers with 10 ply and never did drive one with the stock tires. I have the KDSS if that makes any difference, it rides pretty well with them on but definitely a stiff hit when hitting strips on bad highway but nothing annoying like I have experienced on half ton pickups when putting 10 plys on.

Most will agree that E load is a super stiff ride. Although people run E load, it’s insane overkill for the 4Runner. That load is intended for full size pickups that haul and tow a lot.

I’m currently using C load and have ran P series standard load tires on my Runner. C is the perfect balance between on road comfort and off road toughness. I’d seriously consider taking good quality P series over E load for my needs since I don’t crawl sharp rock.

Sharp rocks dominate here in Arizona, but I use P-metric anyway. I run Wildpeaks and their LT-C is a great size, 275 70 17, but runs a full 10lb heavier per tire than my P265 70 17, so, no.

The trick is to keep it at street pressures. When aired down, P-metric can easily lose a sidewall, ask me how I know. Also, shoulder protectors are really important, most P-metric ATs have shoulder protectors that are only good for style.
