Tires NITTO or SUMITOMO

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 got Sumitomo HTR A/S P03 tires put on my car last October. I live in Wisconsin and am frequently in NW Wisconsin/MN/SD. They were great for me last winter and are pretty quiet during the summer and solid in the rain. I’ve put over 25k miles on them in a year and still no complaints and limited wear. They were a middle-lower cost option when I bought them on Tire Rack and installed for free at Discount Tire. I’ll probably buy them again. I’ve heard they’re a little soft and wear fast though? That’s not been my experience yet but just what I’ve read.

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 a 2023 F150 Lariat with the 3.5 EB. I leveled mine with a 2 inch lift and added 34 inch Nitto Recon Grapplers (SL). I myself do not like the heavy rake look, so I think a level with larger tires looks better and I am willing to sacrifice a bit of gas mileage for the aesthetics.

Nitto terra grappler g3 are fantastic

I’ve got the RG and can confirm comparatively quiet on freeway and not good in the snow or even rain slick slick slick.

I had Ridge Grapplers on a 2021, stock size on 20 inch wheels. They were quiet and good MPG. The Ridge Grapplers were sketchy on wet roads while the Defenders are lighter and make the truck feel 1k lighter.

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.
