Nitto Ridge Grapplers are awesome!

How much rougher would you guys say the ride is with the Ridge Grapplers? I don't expect them to be soft by any means, I just wonder how much of a ride difference there is between these and most tires that are same/similar size since they are F-rated as opposed to many of the E-rated tires?

My ride quality drastically changed once I put big heavy tires on. The ride quality suffered from the tire itself being heavy, it sucks when you hit pot holes, speed bumps, and dirt roads. Need to upgrade my shocks now. However the Ridge Grapplers themselves ride great, they balanced perfectly, have very little road noise, and no steering wheel shake. I've ran nitto trail grapplers and Toyo MTs and the ridge grapplers are the best riding tire out of all of them.

I went from 35" Toyo AT to the 33" Nitto, so ply rating and sidewalls size difference, I felt the ride stiffened a little. However, I lost about 15lbs per tire and the Nittos handle everything better, and are quieter. I wouldn't say it rides worse for a 3500. I'm running Bilstein's and am leveled with a torsion crank. I currently have 360lbs of sand bags in the back and it rides much better! Lol

Do the Ridge Grapplers sling rocks bad? I currently have Nitto Terra Grappler G2 and they sling a ton of rocks. Lots of paint chips.

i don't think they do at all. My trail grapplers were much worse

I have 11k on them and haven't noticed any. The tread near the edge of the tire is pretty big.

Just installed 295/60/20 ridge grapplers yesterday. First time actually seeing these tires in person. Really happy with the look and ride so far. Drove about 60km on the highway and they are surprisingly quiet, and pretty smooth, granted these replaced some fairly worn out 35x12.5 Toyo MT's.

 

For anybody wondering, I've found the tires measure a little short. The specs say close to 34" tall, but mine measure more like 33" tall with 65psi up front and 75psi in the rear.

Are you still liking the ridge grappler? I'm thinking about switching after 4 sets of Toyo MTs.

Just picked up some 275/70/18 Ridge Grapplers.  They are much quieter than I thought they would be and look great on the truck!  I called Nitto to check in on recommended tire pressure and they told me 42psi all around for best wear...for anyone wondering about psi for that size.

Level 8's fell through, Vision Rockers 18 x 9 +12 offset, 285 75r 18 Ridge Grapplers.Tires have like 14 miles on them, quite for now, like others have said, just a little louder then the Michelin tires that came with it stock. Non stock keys, trimmed mud flaps in front, front suspension top out to fit tires.
