Tires NITTO or Firestone

NITTO Tires

I had a set of Nitto Ridge Grapplers for around 50k miles... The Ridge Graps are great for off-road, good for on road (not as good as the Recons), but I have mixed experiences using them in the rain - they kinda feel splashy... But I was very impressed with the amount of tread left after I put 50k miles on them.

Pros: great for off-road, good on road
Cons: splashy feel in rain
Mileage: 50000 km

Firestone Tires

I got some Firestone Destination XTs about 1k miles ago in the stock size. I wanted LT tires for the stability towing. So far they are working great. Way better off road and wet traction then the stock Pirelli Scorpions. But they hang on to gravel bad.

Pros: better off road, wet traction
Cons: hang on to gravel
Mileage: 1609 km

I just added the Nitto Ridge Grapplers to my truck. They look great! There's a bit more road noise than the stock Pirreli's, but that's no surprise.

Pros: look great
Cons: more road noise

Rating 5.0

I'd recommend Firestone Firehawk Indy 500. They're really good and affordable tires that have excellent grip. They don't have much road noise and last decently long.

Pros: excellent grip, affordable
Cons: summer tires

Looks good. I did 275/60/20 E Range Recons back in January and have about 5k on em. Only one issue was the past few weeks I had a slight leak that ended up being three very small punctures from some framing nails. Plugged em myself and haven’t had an issue in a week so we’ll see if I fixed it.

Still no appreciable road noise, and the only noticeable mpg drop is in the city going light to light. On flat hwy the mpgs went down maybe 1 mpg over 120 mi. I’ve aired em down and taken them out on the beach and they performed perfectly. They’ve been on some back mountain roads in WV and had much more traction than the stockers.

Now, with the E rated tires vs the stock Goodyears, I did notice that the rear spin a LOT easier in the rain.

Pros: no appreciable road noise, performed perfectly
Cons: rear spin easier in rain
Mileage: 8000 km

Ran these for 1.5 years had two flats. Still had good tread depth. One was a rock puncture which I have never had before. On my beater truck so I wheeled the piss out of them. Good in snow, ice, mud and sand. Bad on wet roads imo.

Pros: good tread depth, good in snow
Cons: two flats, bad on wet roads

They are pretty good in dry weather, but absolutely terrible in snow. If you typically encounter snow, invest in snow tires.

Pros: good in dry weather
Cons: terrible in snow

I currently have a set of Firestones on my car. I hate them. Noisest tire I have ever used, and they are leaving black marks on my garage floor. But they were cheep and that's all I could afford at the time. Never again.

Pros: cheap price
Cons: noisy, leaves marks
