    My used 23 Tacoma came with brand new Nitto Ridge Grapplers. While I love the aggressive look of these tires I gotta say - they SUCK in the rain! Last night while taking a slow curve at low speed I mildly accelerated and started losing the rear end in a fish tail. After a couple of zig zags I got it straightened out.
    This never happened in my previous truck with my Goodyear Wranglers Adventure.

    I’m almost nervous to see how these Nittos will perform in the snow based on their terrible rain performance.

    any of you all running Nittos with these issues? Strongly considering switching out to the Wranglers.

    Same issue with my ridge graps. They were good at first but now at 10k miles they are slippery in the rain.
