Tires Nexen or NITTO

I’ve been wanting to upgrade the tires and finally pulled the plug and got some nitto ridge grapplers in 265 70 17 on the stock TRD Sport wheels and stock suspension, no rubbing it all fits perfect and looks great. Performs too, testing them out almost immediately and I’m definitely satisfied.

Nexen winguard sport 2 have been just fine for me.

For ATs I’ve been using Nitto Terra Grappler G2s, they’re quiet and good in rain/snow.

I put Nexen Roadian AT Pro RA8 on instead (they were on sale and had white letter sidewalls, I am old school) and honestly I haven't regretted it at all... I do some off-roading and deal with pretty severe winters and snow and the Nexens have been very good in those conditions and I have put a fair amount of interstate highway miles on them and they run nice and quiet.

I went with the Nexens and have been very pleased.

Nitto's on. I love these tires

Nexen like all brands make different levels of tires. If you decide to buy the cheap ones your results will be indeed be bad. I bought a nicer tire that they make and have had no issues with them. It's actually the best ride quality I've had in my car. They drive better than Dunlop and Pirrelli P-Zero I had in the past.

A bit over rated. I have some. Not the grippiest 320tw but they last a long time, pretty good in the rain but need heat to grip up when dry. Better than some cheap uhp tires but noticeably slower than the Hankook V12 evo2 I had.

My last set of Nittos were junk. I had to have them shaved 3 times to make them round again. They were so bad.

In case anyone stumbles upon this, my 35 inch load E ridge grapplers are AMAZING in everything **but** mud. Almost got hopelessly stuck the other day. My old cooper evolutions MTs would have easily dug me out. Im looking to get out of these asap, awful for winter overlanding. If you hit mud you're screwed in Ridge Grapps
