Shockingly fantastic in winter slop. I was expecting them to be bad compared to my Sumitomos. Nope. Even better in slop. 100% recommended. Great in the dry with very low noise and super highway tracking. Finally found the grail of cheap and awesome.
Sumitomo is a fantastic tire. I run their summer tires all year around ( In Texas, heavy sedan ) very stable at 85 mph+, quiet and stay planted.
Sumitomo tires wildly out perform their price tag. Have had them on a bunch of cars over the years and have never been unhappy about it.
I have the nitto terra grappler g3. Was significantly lighter than the ko3s I usually run.
I personally have sumitomo and I really like them. Good traction. Good for regular road driving or mountain driving and all weather. A little bit pricier, but I feel the quality is worth it.
I only run Nitto now. BFG let me\nDown a few too many times. That said, ridge grapplers are on two of my cruisers and the newer Terra g3 on the LX. Both perform great in heavy rain, on/off road, rock, mud, etc.
Previously, Sumitomo P03 that I got rid of at 35k because LOUD. Otherwise durable and great in snow. A little unsettled at speed.
So I just put 285/60/20 nitto recon on my 22 tundra from stock tires. I don\u2019t me if it just me but I feel like there a lot of road noise from these tires.
This Tire Brand Has The Lowest Customer Satisfaction Rating, according to Consumer Reports
I changed my OEM Nitto Terra\u2019s that came on my Pro out last week for Baja Boss AT\u2019s after only 15K miles. They were scary dangerous on wet roads.
