Tires NITTO or WEST LAKE

I have the trail grapplers m/t in 37s on my CJ7 and they're amazing how good they do in all conditions, ok on the road, great in mud, great for crawling over rocks wet and dry, and amazing in snow at 1 in p.s.i. for a road tire.

I went 2” larger overall diameter tire (factory 27” to 29”) and went from a regular oem tire to walmart (west lake ) ATs. And I only saw a very small change in average mpg, aprox 32.1 down to 29.8mpg.

I've had my Ridge Grapplers for about 4 years. Mostly highway. My only complaint would be wet pavement traction is not as good as I would prefer. Dry pavement is as good as I need it. Best traction of any tire I've ever had in snow. Road noise is pretty damn low for an aggressive looking tire. The best thing about these tires that will make me get another set soon is that I currently have about 100,000 miles on them.

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.

Mag 5 years na westlake na gulong ko. Wala naman naging issue.

On stock wheels I'm running Nitto 555 G2's at 305/35 on all 4 corners. Best tire? No. But for the price and treadwear they do fine.

Experiencing the same issue with my Terra Grappler G2. I wasn’t sure if it was just mine since we live in Florida. However, it doesn’t look like it’s an isolated issue that only applies to southern regions. Mine are only 2.5 years old with around 18K miles on them.

This is unfortunately common in my experience with Nitto. I ran Trail Grapplers that were cracked like that with still probably 2/3 tread left. Next set were Ridge Grapplers, they did the same at about 1/2 tread.
