Wind. I see it all the time here in the Southwest. Washboard road patterns emerge like sand dune shifts in the Sahara. Couple that with constant movement from tires on vehicles, it makes it worse.
3" lift/level, 16" wheels (i like Method), 33" Nitto Ridge Grapplers. The offset should give you a 1" poke for a more aggressive look.
I enjoy my Nitto g2 NT555’s.
I've been running a 17" steel rim and a heavy 35" Nitto Mud Grappler (~120lbs total) off the stock mount for years with no issues.
Nitto motivo 365. They're sticky while also being rally inspired with good tread ware so far. And they're "all weather" basically a more robust all season that just does a little better in dirt or snow while still being very much a street tire.
I swapped over to the SL 285/70R17 Nitto Terra Grappler and my gas mileage isn’t being affected a whole lot. I managed to get back into the 20mpg range over a 400 mile highway loop I did.
I have nitto ridge grapplers and they do pretty well. I don't get a lot of snow where I live but they do decent in mud
I have had the ridge grapplers on my Ram for 3 years. My overall experience with them was okay. They look great, but snow/rain traction was poor.
I have the nittos as my daily tires, but I autocrosses on them for about 8 events before I got rid of them. Do not get them. They're terrible in the wet, wear very quickly with camber, scream when no where near maximum grip, you can never get them hot enough and I'm pretty sure the sidewalls are 90% jello.
I’ve put 200k plus on ridge grapplers in Wisconsin winters. They are terrible in the snow. Awesome off-road in mud, but not good winter tires.
