Tires NITTO or Kumho
I’ve posted this several times. I bought a set of rims that had used Nitto Grappler A/T tires on them. I got 50k before the wife run over something and cut one. I bought a new set and am at 80k plus now. Expecting many more.
On my third set of Ridge Grapplers. They are the perfect tire in my opinion. Quiet, comfortable, long tread life and great in all weather conditions.
Ridge grapplers are surprisingly quiet on the highway. I'm on my second set after getting about 80k miles out of the last set. Great tires and I've never had an issue with them on wet roads either. I can't speak to snow performance, though. I live in deep south Tx.
I have been running the nitto ridge grapplers for the past 65k miles. They are, imo, not as loud as you would think and definitely have given me some amazing performance.they’ve only really gotten loud in that last few thousand miles when the tread was really worn down.
The best tire I have found is Nitto Grappler A/T. The set I’m on now has 77,000+ miles on them and I’m expecting to reach between 80 to 85.
If you are looking for something cheaper,
Kumho Majesty 9 solus can also be an option
Their noise around the same level as top brand grand tourinf tires... like pirelli p7 as 3 or micherlin mxv4, continental pure contact.
very good at dry weather and acceptable at wet,
ride quality is good, but soso steering response.
Snow traction is vevevevery bad with this tire, almost the level if summer tire,but its georgia.
personally, I liked it.
I decided to swap the OEM Kumho tires for a set of CC2s with just 350 miles on the car.
My butt sensor says the CC2s ride a lot more softly than the OEM Kumhos. The ride feels more compliant and less sharp over potholes, expansion joints, etc. I find the CC2's ride to be noticeably better than the Kumhos. The CC2s also solved 90% of the steering wheel vibration issue.
I had them for a while, they lasted longer than i expected, and theyre decent for a daily driver, but the performance lacks alot.
Experiencing the same issue with my Terra Grappler G2. I wasn’t sure if it was just mine since we live in Florida. However, it doesn’t look like it’s an isolated issue that only applies to southern regions. Mine are only 2.5 years old with around 18K miles on them.
This is unfortunately common in my experience with Nitto. I ran Trail Grapplers that were cracked like that with still probably 2/3 tread left. Next set were Ridge Grapplers, they did the same at about 1/2 tread.
