Tires NITTO or DUNLOP

So I came to event day on my normal Dunlop SP Sport Maxx tyres. In practice, I found that on the R-spec I could do an 89 second lap, but consistently run at 92 seconds (I could do consecutive 90 second laps, but brakes would become the weak link after about 4 consecutive laps). On the street tyres I could do a 93 second lap, but due to brakes again, nominated at 95 second lap.

Can only speak for the nittos personally, but they are a good tire imo. Can never go wrong with a nitto.

Ridge grapplers. I was amazed how quiet they are for 37s, I’ve got about 10k on mine now and they still look new, cool looking tread.

Have 2 other buddies running the Nitto Ridge Grapplers in a 35” and they are a really nice looking tire and so far getting great milage out of them as well.

I had the ridge grapplers and I loved them. Very quiet tire that’s supposedly supposed to last around 40k miles! I only used it in loose sand and no muddy terrain but I was content.

I got myself the Grantrek AT5s. For me they have a good compromise between traction offroad and road noise on tarmac. I also fitted a full spare with one of those AT5s on it. Fits perfectly where the 3/4 sits.

I've run both, currently running ridge grapplers. I vote nitto, hands down the best tire I've ever had on a truck. they last forever, ride smooth, aren't too loud on the highway, and are solid in sand.

You will never get the q4 hot enough and will be more prone to low side, the exact thing you are trying to avoid.

I had them on my JKU when I bought it. I drove the Jeep home and to the tire shop two days later to replace them with Toyos. Extremely overpriced tire for the ride quality and handling.

I used them on my work truck and didn’t like how fast they wore out on the road, and I didn’t find they were any better than my KO2’s in the mud/snow/off-road. I got 40,000 miles out of them before I got newer tires.
