Tires Nexen or NITTO

I’ve posted this several times. I bought a set of rims that had used Nitto Grappler A/T tires on them. I got 50k before the wife run over something and cut one. I bought a new set and am at 80k plus now. Expecting many more.

Very few manufacturers have a solid warranty that is actually usable in this regard, however one of the best warranties in the industry is from Nexen.

The Nexens on my 70’ Beetle work great. No need to pay more.

They were absolutely excellent rear tires for a RWD with a lot of power in a snowy climate with a jumpy driver. Zero issues with slippage, balance, wear pattern, etc. since installed in December. 10k miles later and I found them flat with a hole in my parking lot at work, and a plug would not hold, big bummer.

They are budget friendly and reliable. I'm using for the past 5 years.....have driven at high speeds for long distances and hot climate.....felt very comfortable.

On my third set of Ridge Grapplers. They are the perfect tire in my opinion. Quiet, comfortable, long tread life and great in all weather conditions.

Ridge grapplers are surprisingly quiet on the highway. I'm on my second set after getting about 80k miles out of the last set. Great tires and I've never had an issue with them on wet roads either. I can't speak to snow performance, though. I live in deep south Tx.

I bought new Nittos and custom wheels that were about 1-1/2” bigger diameter. Each step looked better, and it looks really great now - except now its a little over-the-top, and my mileage is kind of terrible.

They’re trash tires. My Nittos hit 20k and lost enough traction on wet that I lost confidence in them. When a nail went thru the sidewall 4k miles later it gave me an excuse to upgrade to wildpeaks. The difference was huge.

Experiencing the same issue with my Terra Grappler G2. I wasn’t sure if it was just mine since we live in Florida. However, it doesn’t look like it’s an isolated issue that only applies to southern regions. Mine are only 2.5 years old with around 18K miles on them.
