Tires NITTO or FULDA

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 have a set of these, 6 years. Never a single issue. They are a little harder but nothing like what you would expect from the comments.

I’m replacing them tomorrow with a new set 6 years to the day from when I 1st put them on.

They are amazing tires. Hands down the best I have ever owned in 30 years of driving.

Nitto tires use a lot of the same tech as Toyo (who owns them) so you are just seeing a decent AT truck tire wearing like it should. All the no grip comments are funny this is a truck tire not a sport tire. Nitto has a winter line as well that is great and very inexpensive.

I had NeoGens on a G35 Coupe and liked them ok. Continentals are better IMO.

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.

Love nittos on my other truck, but for the raptor theyre terrible, horrible in rain, loud, and heavy as a mf.
