Tires Toyo or NITTO

I’ve actually had both and much prefer the RG. I’m on my second set. It’s more aggressive yet surprisingly quiet.

Terra Grappler G2 is a great tire for all-around use. I drive 90% of the time on pavement and 10% on trails and sandy terrains here in Florida. I had my Terra Grapplers for about a year now and haven’t had any issues so far. Not too aggressive either where it gets really loud on highway driving and steering wheel starts to vibrate. ????

I have the Ridge Grapplers on my truck and love them. They ride smooth on the road and really aren't that noisy at all. I was pleasently surprised with how nice they are.

I’ve had both. Liked the grapplers better and run them currently. They perform better in the rain. That’s pretty much the only difference I was able to notice

I recommend Toyo tires, Bridgestone and Michelin. We usually go with toyo but all of the 3 have served us well

That said Nitto Ridge Grapplers are a good compromise. Considered a ‘Mud Terrain hybrid’ but have great street manners.

Nitto Ridge Grapplers are a pretty good middle ground. Aggressive and capable tread pattern with sidewall lugs for offroading, but softer and quieter than full on M/T.

I ended up getting the Toyo Open Country ATIII tires as recommended by some of the posters below, and my tire shop! These seem to last longer than some of other options I was looking at, and don't need rotation as frequently. They're also rated as all-season tires, which is a nice plus for New England.

So far I've driven them offroad quite a bit in VT on the NE BDR, some trails in NH, and out on the beach at the Cape Cod National seashore. They've handled it all very well.

As far as road manners go, they are nice and quiet, but of course they are a slightly louder than highway tires. nothing obnoxious. They've also done just fine with grip on wet asphalt, and are fine on dry asphalt as well. I don't think they are as responsive as the HT tires were for steering on the road, but they track nice and straight.

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.

Tire is rubbing! (only when I turn) My attempt at rectifying the problem. Installed BFT fit blocks and it still rubs. Cut the fender liner and it still rubs. I returned the wheels and tires.
