Default Nitto Ridge Grapplers PIC HEAVY

My Nitto Ridge Grapplers showed up last week. What a great looking tire.





I could not wait to get them mounted.

I am impressed from the start. Tires look "meaty" and aggressive. To my surprise they ride very smooth with the perfect amount of tire roar. After a week on these I can say that I would recommend them. Performance remains to be seen, but I have no doubt that they will not disappoint.

That's a nice tread pattern. They are Nitto, so I'm confident you will get the performance and wear you are looking for out of them.

Now, if they just offered their tires in RWL...

I have never had Nittos. I like the fact that its in the middle ground between a mud grip and radial. They seem to be just what i need. I am on dirt roads daily, and out in a pasture often. Have not had a lot of rain yet to make everything sloppy. Cant wait.haha

Hey cutter, get them pics. I would like to see them on those wheels.
Update: i have had mine on my truck almost 2 months. As mentioned i am in south ga, these Nitto Ridge Grapplers have held up great in any terrain i have had them in. For me it is sand and clay mostly. The days out in the pasture is usually more of a mud. I am still impressed. On a side note, over a long road trip they performed brilliantly. This truck is a stock 02 1500. These Nitto Ridge Grapplers give it the best ride i have had.

Those look great cutter. Nice truck. I like the way the truck sits on the Nittos. Did you put a level kit on the front? What size Ridge Grapplers did you put on?

An added bonus i did not think of with these Nitto Ridge Grapplers. A TUFF sidewall. I had to take my truck down a recently cut fire break, roots, down trees etc... No problem. Didnt even need 4*4.
