Tires NITTO or Kumho

I’ve been with the Kumho Ecstas and they’ve been a dream. One of the better mid range tires to replace the oem with.

Take a look for some Nitto in your area. Made by Toyo and decent looking tread patterns. And 3pms rated on a few.

I put Kumho Crugen HT51 at the advice of a trusted tire guy. They are only a few weeks old but so far so good at the price he got em on for.

Went from:

Nitto Terra Grappler G2s (good)

to Ridge Grapplers (meh)

to Recon Grapplers (amazing). Great ride super quiet still enough knob for the back 40.

These are the roughest riding tire ever. I used to replace with the Michelin M/S2, but nowadays on my last two Rams, I run the Nitto 420V and I like them better in all respects.

Nitto Grapplers. Ran them on my ‘14 EcoDiesel. Must have got 50-60k on em

I had these on my Autocross car last season. I changed to the Kumho V730 early this season and it’s a game changer.

I had them on a car. Rode nice and quiet. Great rain traction. belt did end up breaking in one tire causing a tumor and another was starting to fail after 6 years.

NT05 isn't great. And I hate the 555's - the orig were cheap and OK but the G2 is worse, you can do better with Firestone Indy 500's or Continental ExtremeContact both are about 300TW.

In a year and a half of having these tires I’ve had 3 flats and 1 slow leak on the sidewall of a a tire… needless to say, I’ll never get kumho’s ever again
