Tires NITTO or Maxxis

I've put a couple hundred K's on mine and so far I love them. Great for street, gravel, dry dirt. The only issue I've had is the occasional wet mud on a trail. These get real squirmy in wet corners but I can't fault the tire, that's not what they're designed for.

I've had both. I prefer the Ridge Grapplers because I'm more interested in offroad performance, but had no issues with the terra grapplers and they were much cheaper.

I have Ridge Grapplers on my Tacoma and 4Runner and haven’t had any issues with them. Do great in the snow and quiet for daily driving.

I’ve actually had both and much prefer the RG. I’m on my second set. It’s more aggressive yet surprisingly quiet.

Terra Grappler G2 is a great tire for all-around use. I drive 90% of the time on pavement and 10% on trails and sandy terrains here in Florida. I had my Terra Grapplers for about a year now and haven’t had any issues so far. Not too aggressive either where it gets really loud on highway driving and steering wheel starts to vibrate. ????

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.

I had NeoGens (205/50r15) and liked the way they looked, and they handled great in dry weather... But would break loose in wet pretty easily. And while I had them I didn't notice the road noise until... I got some Continental ExtremeContact Sports (205/50r15) These guys have much less road noise, except at slower speeds where you can hear every single tiny rock and pebble tossed up in the wheel well lol. But they look fantastic and are incredible in dry AND wet weather!

The Ardent sucks by most accounts. Read this article from [NSMB.com](https://nsmb.com/articles/ask-uncle-dave-talking-tires-maxxis/) where the Maxxis rep basically says the only reason Ardent's are even made anymore is because people recognize the name. Rekon 2.4 is my vote (not a particularly wide 2.4, more like a 2.35). Some have mentioned the Ardent Race, but the Rekon has way better cornering traction than an ardent race, and bigger center knobs than an ardent race for braking traction.
