Tires NITTO or OEM FORD

Nittos for sure!!! I’ve had both, the BGFs are loud but last forever, not that great in the wet. The Nittos are the quietest big tires I’ve ever owned. On a light truck they’ll last long enough, I’ve had mine over 30k miles and still 12/32” left on the tread. Also some of the best all around off-road tires imho. They’re designed to throw mud and snow out the treads, so more traction and less sliding. Very surefooted.

I have the ridge grapplers on my stock 4Runner. What little off-roading I’ve done has been good. Not so great on wet pavement. They are quiet while still looking super aggressive.

I’ve had both and prefer the Nitto. Super quiet, aggressive look, and the performance is awesome, so far.

285/65/18 XL Ridge grapps here.

From my research, best weight to load capacity to performance ratios.

Probably will buy again.

I’m rolling on the RG’s I love them very quite relative to tread. They have performed quite well in many off-road scenarios sure they’re a little heavier, but they look sick and perform amazing

I run the nt555r2’s, worth every penny. Night and day difference in traction.

I’ve never used them on a Miata, but I’ve gone through two sets on my Jetta GLI and another set on a big-turbo Audi A4. I think they’re fantastic for the price. Perfect balance of grip and longevity. They’re not the greatest in heavy rain or standing water but they’ll do the job if you take it easy. Obviously not something you’ll want to run in the snow although I did this year due to laziness (couldn’t make it up my driveway). I wouldn’t hesitate to buy another set.

Dealer free tires typically aren't that great. One of the most important parts of the vehicle keeping you safe is something I spend extra money on. Got rid of the run flats that came with the car since they felt too blah.

I have these on my Jeep. They are downright dangerous on anything but dry pavement.

I've had the Nitto Ridge Grappler in a 285/76r16 for about a year and a half now with about 19k miles. I just went in to get them rotated and they told me I should consider new tires, because they're down to 4/32 in the middle and 7/32 along the edge. Of course they also don't have a mileage warranty, so I'm disappointed to say the least and won't be buying them again.
