Nitto Ridge Grapplers vs Falken AT3Ws...help me decide

junkyarddogg[OP] initial post: ↑

I've narrowed it down to these two but can't make up my mind. Which should I go with?

Will be majority on pavement with occasional light trails. Which is better for wet traction? Mpg difference?

I was initially set on the AT3Ws because I read it's better for wet traction. But I do like the look of the Nittos slightly more and they are about 2.5 lbs lighter.

Nittos, look way better, Falkens are heavy

If its to the point where a marginally different tire would keep you from hydroplaning into the ditch, you need to SLOW DOWN

Agree, any new tire design will be for the most part safe if you’re driving to the conditions. Maybe they should have a tire rating for nut jobs, can I do a 100 in a snow storm rating haha!

Lol but how much better wet? Will I be hydroplaning on the Nittos?

No. I'm on my second set of NRGs and I really like them.

Based on the fact you are looking for the tire based on "majority on pavement with occasional light trails. Which is better for wet traction? Mpg difference?" wouldn't the Wildpeaks be better as they are less agressive than the Nitto's?

Given that you are in SoCal, Wildpeaks may even be a bit overkill since you don't really need 3PMSF rating?

I'm in NJ. Yeah I was leaning towards wildpeaks but Nitto is lighter and looks better. If it can do decently in rain I would choose the NIttos. If they are not good in rain then at3w's.
