Tires NITTO or NANKANG

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

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.

Nankang ns2 is really good!

Nankang ns2/ns2r, lotta bang for the buck

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

I have a set of Nankangs on my Ghia. They are a decent tire, but don't expect tons of grip from them, and they're pretty hard.

I ran a set of NS2's years ago, they came on my B5.5 Passat. Grip wise they were acceptable in the dry, and pretty poor in the rain. Alot of my customers also ran them back then. I've never seen anything akward happen to one, no sidewall bubbles, blowouts, or failures. They aren't unsafe or bad tires, they were just always at the bottom of their category in terms of performance, refinement, grip, so I never considered buying a set. If my hands were tied in terms of availability, I would feel perfectly comfortable running Nankangs, especially on an application like a Figaro. I would go for it.

The ride is nice, noise is low, but the wet traction is very poor.

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.
