So my Method Wheels +18 offset are officially here and i've been searching for tires. I really am leaning towards the Nitto Ridge Grapplers in 285/65/18. I have a 2in leveling kit on the front. Do you think that is a good size to go with? I found them for $1,059 free shipping. I just wanted to get some thoughts on this before I pull the trigger.

 

I also like the Toyo AT2 they are $1,079 but I hear the ridge grapplers are a lot nicer.

I like those Nittos. Here is a pic I snapped off a truck locally.

True. I like the nittos and the toyos as well, but considering they are similar in weight (when looking at LT toyos), I like the Nittos a lot more. If the ridge grapplers weighed as much as the trail and mud grapplers and MT/RT toyos, then I may lean more towards the AT2s.

 

So.

 

Given aesthetic appeal and weight, I am favorable of the ridge grapplers.

Looks like he's got quite a bit of room. I wonder if I could go a little bigger

I think those are 275/65/18. Yours would be a tad taller.

I have Toyo Open Country RT they are the best tire I have ever had. I can't believe how dead quiet they are and ride very smooth. They really do not feel like an E rated tire.

I really like the tread design of the Toyo RT. They're just so gosh darn heavy. I'd rather have a 60lb ridge grappler over a 70lb RT, more due to keeping unsprung weight down and mpg up (somewhat). Not so much because of the ride/noise.

And one size wider.

 

I plan on installing 275/70/18 which are E-rated, but a true 33". 285/65/18s are good as well.

 

I'd look into the BFG KO2s. The Nittos look just like the stock DuraTrac.

Where did you find the weight of the Ridge Grappler I haven't see weights on the web site yet

Shipping weights provided by tire dealer(s).

 

Toyo's are on their website (nice and convenient), but for some reason Nitto doesn't publish them, and I couldn't get Nitto customer service to respond to my weight requests.

 

I went through some local Nitto retailers (including Discount Tire, online (DTD) and in-store) and they all said roughly the same weights.

 

305/55r20 XL Nitto G2 is 50-52lbs

305/55r20 Nitto Ridge Grappler is 60-62lbs

33x12.5r20 Nitto Ridge Grappler is 61-62lbs

 

The variations were in 4 different tire shops answers but they were all in the same ballpark so I don't feel like they were ALL bs'ing me since all their answers were fairly lined up, ya know?

 

I don't have weights for the 35x12.5r20 Ridge Grappler, as I was shopping in the 33 range, so I hadn't asked for the 35. You could always go to Discount Tire Direct and do "live chat" and ask them the weights.

I just think the ko2's don't look as good as the ridge grapplers

I have the Toyo at2 in a 285/75r18 on stock wheels and love them. Measures out to a 34.8 x 11.50.

I love my RT's but they're not as quite as I thought they would be but they're not bad at all for 35s

Do they rub? What leveling kit do you have? I can't figure out what to do. With an RC 2in level will 285/70/18 +18 offset rub?

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Brendan C · Posted

      New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended?

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By Vu1can · Posted

      So, GMCustomerService:  Judging by the Update History pictured above, is this truck missing any updates that it actually needs. If it's just for the infotainment system, the radio is working fine and no trouble with SeriusXM. and Android Auto is working fine wirelessly with my phone. Some months ago, an update notice was sent to my truck. I approved the update and it finished saying that the update was successful, but it seems that whatever that update was, it didn't actually get installed - at least not if I'm to go by the Update History shown above.   So, again, are there any updates that this truck really should have? I've checked with my dealer but they're reluctant or commit to anything and if I want them to check, they require a $200.00 fee just to check it out and then I'd have to pay for the actual update(s).    Ignorance is bliss, and if none of the updates goes to fixing any mechanical discrepancies, I'll just leave things as is.

      Electrical Problem - solved

      By CNH-320 · Posted

      Hey everyone, I recently had an issue with my 07 2500HD GMT900. My DRL’s stay on at all times. Right front turn and right mirror turn signal indicator stay on solid at all times. By “at all times” I mean the only way to make them go off is disconnecting the battery. I tore the headlight assemblies out, tried disconnecting the harnesses to eliminate bad wiring at the harness, I unplugged the headlight switch, no change and the mirror turn signal still stayed on. My first thoughts were : Bad bulb and/or socket somewhere, under hood fuse panel bad, bcm bad, tail light or trailer wiring problem, or some random short to power in the harness.  Possibly a bad ground but unlikely. I had a big clue in the fuse panel, it had a burnt smell. I started pulling every fuse that had to do with DRL or right turn/park lamp. Nothing made the right directional turn off but pulling the DRL2 fuse made the DRL’s go out.  After studying wiring diagrams, I found that both problems had that fuse panel in common, the bcm also controls both problems but knowing the fuse panel had a burnt smell I removed and disassembled the fuse panel and found a little corrosion on the printed circuit board.  I ordered a new fuse panel from Amazon for like $260. When it arrived I installed it, and put everything back together, the problem was fixed. I figured the fuse panel needed to be replaced anyway so that was a logical place to start. Hopefully this story helps someone in the future. Regretfully I didn’t scan for codes before I did everything.

      That stinks. I’m sitting on the side of the road right now with the same issue. Never had an issue before taking it in for the ground strap recall. Now I’m outside of warranty and they’ll probably want $200 just to diagnose what they already “fixed”.
