Tires NITTO or Barum

Nittos for sure!!! I’ve had both, the BGFs are loud but last forever, not that great in the wet. The Nittos are the quietest big tires I’ve ever owned. On a light truck they’ll last long enough, I’ve had mine over 30k miles and still 12/32” left on the tread. Also some of the best all around off-road tires imho. They’re designed to throw mud and snow out the treads, so more traction and less sliding. Very surefooted.

I have the ridge grapplers on my stock 4Runner. What little off-roading I’ve done has been good. Not so great on wet pavement. They are quiet while still looking super aggressive.

I’ve had both and prefer the Nitto. Super quiet, aggressive look, and the performance is awesome, so far.

285/65/18 XL Ridge grapps here.

From my research, best weight to load capacity to performance ratios.

Probably will buy again.

I’m rolling on the RG’s I love them very quite relative to tread. They have performed quite well in many off-road scenarios sure they’re a little heavier, but they look sick and perform amazing

I run the nt555r2’s, worth every penny. Night and day difference in traction.

I have been using Barum tires with no complaints. They perform well on my 2012 W204 and cost a lot less than Michelin / Pirelli / Continental /etc

I run NT05 on my R32. I'm in AZ so rain isn't much of a worry, but the times I have driven it in the rain, I never had much of an issue. I think when they wear, and they will much more quickly than your average tire, they will become very tricky to use in the wet.

They are nitto neo gen they supposedly say these are great for wet surfaces but the other day my car slid from a small turn going slow.

Have ridge grapplers on my work truck and I don’t like them. There isn’t a lot of sipping grooves so they aren’t great in anything sloppy like wet snow or mud
