Tires NITTO or Kumho

kod mene su Kumho ljetne

I’m running 255/80 17 Ridge Grapplers on my Tacoma and love em.

I have 35k miles on the Nitto Nomad Grapplers and they’ve done great. They’ve handled everything I’ve thrown at them. I would buy another set in a heartbeat.

I got Nittos recently and they’re great! Comparable to falkens and slightly cheaper as well. I havent done any off-roading yet, but they drive well on pavement, and gravel roads such as ones we have here are no issue. More grip than the OEM ones, at least it feels like it.

Kumho is top dog in the midrange right now, I’d go for them.

That said, I’ve had a good experience with the discount tire house branded “Rocky Mountain” tires. They’re 3 peak rated M/S tires. And road noise is not bad at all. I don’t even hear it. I have about 15k on them over the last year or so.

I’ve got the RG and can confirm comparatively quiet on freeway and not good in the snow or even rain slick slick slick.

I had Ridge Grapplers on a 2021, stock size on 20 inch wheels. They were quiet and good MPG. The Ridge Grapplers were sketchy on wet roads while the Defenders are lighter and make the truck feel 1k lighter.

730s are pretty disappointing as an autocross tire. They thrive on heat, but it’s hard to get them hot enough that they will work well for autox. They are awful in cold weather.

I have the nittos as my daily tires, but I autocrosses on them for about 8 events before I got rid of them. Do not get them. They're terrible in the wet, wear very quickly with camber, scream when no where near maximum grip, you can never get them hot enough and I'm pretty sure the sidewalls are 90% jello.
