3rd Gen Grappler Gang - Show off your Nitto's

Is that stock suspension?

 

They look killer dude! Can't wait to get mine on

 

beautiful truck nice job

 

3" Front and 2" Rear spacer kit lift. I ordered it 2 weeks before I purchased my Icon Stage 4 kit. There's a little delay and my kit won't be arriving for 3-4 more weeks. So we quickly threw it on so I can finally mount my wheels and tires, haha. Simple hour install, but we also had the resources of a full dealership, haha.

 

Finally got everything installed yesterday. Full OME kit with 888's and dakars, rotiform six-or wheels, and 285/70/17 ridge grapplers

 

Nitto terra grapplers 265/70r17 with 1.5inch level!

 

I like these ridge grapplers but my local tire shop (national chain) wont even sell them to me, as they claim they are incredibly dangerous for winter use, and should only be used in summer months.

Food for thought i guess.... back to the drawing board on my tire selection

 

Personally, my experiences have been great in the snow, especially for a hybrid tire. I take my truck through dirt, rock, snow for a few years now and I can't complain. It's the best all around tire in the market IMO.

 

From another forum, post #12"

"I wrote to Nitto about this and got a great response. So hopefully this helps anyone else. I linked their EXO Grappler for you in case you wanna check that tire out on the Nitto site.

"In regards to your question, to start off the Ridge Grappler is a mud and snow rated tire. We do have customers that have ran these tires in winter conditions such as yours back east and have heard back positive feedback."

"Now, for more severe winter conditions we normally advise customers of the EXO Grappler. These are for customers looking for a more dedicated winter tire. It is made up of a more durable compound than any of our Grappler tires which allows it to resist the effects of colder temperatures. The tread pattern is also designed to provide traction in those conditions as well. It is the only of our Grappler tires with a 3 peak mountain snowflake rating."

"While so far the Ridge Grappler has been a great tire for us, I would recommend if possible checking out forums and see reviews of customers running those tires in similar conditions on a similar vehicle so you can get a better idea." End of quote

1st set of Ridge Grapplers. only 4k miles on them....so far so good. Quiet, do really well in the rain. Have yet to have off-road. 285/70/17.

 

any rub?

 

Love the Ridge Grapplers!

 

Not in the 25k mikes since I’ve takin this picture. I’ve never been off road so I can’t comment on that though.

 

wheel specs? offset, backspacing, etc

 

Do like my old BFG All Terrains A Bit better though.

 

Check rotiform’s website.

 

What do you like better?
