Tires NITTO or Cooper
I have Ridge Grapplers on my Tacoma and 4Runner and haven’t had any issues with them. Do great in the snow and quiet for daily driving.
I’ve actually had both and much prefer the RG. I’m on my second set. It’s more aggressive yet surprisingly quiet.
Terra Grappler G2 is a great tire for all-around use. I drive 90% of the time on pavement and 10% on trails and sandy terrains here in Florida. I had my Terra Grapplers for about a year now and haven’t had any issues so far. Not too aggressive either where it gets really loud on highway driving and steering wheel starts to vibrate. ????
I have the Ridge Grapplers on my truck and love them. They ride smooth on the road and really aren't that noisy at all. I was pleasently surprised with how nice they are.
I’ve had both. Liked the grapplers better and run them currently. They perform better in the rain. That’s pretty much the only difference I was able to notice
That said Nitto Ridge Grapplers are a good compromise. Considered a ‘Mud Terrain hybrid’ but have great street manners.
Nitto Ridge Grapplers are a pretty good middle ground. Aggressive and capable tread pattern with sidewall lugs for offroading, but softer and quieter than full on M/T.
I've got STT Pros on my 2500hd and KO2s on my TJ both of which were a daily driver for extended periods of time. The Cooper's are definitely louder, but the entire truck is loud, so it doesn't really bother me. The comments here ring pretty true, and I'll take my Jeep in the snow rather than the truck. Honestly, just do what makes you happy. The trade-offs are miniscule if you know your limitations and drive appropriately.
AT3. Much better on-road, better mpg, not as good off-road, but still very good.
Cooper has had a consistent track record of balance/wear/behavior issues for all of us over the last couple of years.
