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?

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      That one looks decent for the price   BUT..I want something that also supports OBDI/1.5. A lot of the prosumer-grade scanners don't have legacy support in order to keep costs low. I believe the Autel does if you go higher end with them.   For fun, I reached out to a local Snap-On rep because I was interested in the 2600. $1895 MSRP, says he can do $1595. That's still a lot, but then again, that's not a horrible discount for just asking out of the blue. Could probably do better if I was a regular buying off his truck, but I'm not.   Not sure if I mentioned but I didn't realize with USED scanners from Snap On that you need to make sure a) the serial number isn't flagged as stolen. On the newer ones, SnapOn can remotely disable the device if it's flagged in their system. And, customer service can tell you if it is, if you're thinking about buying used. B) Make sure it's paid off. If the seller still owes money to the truck or if they financed through Snap On, the device can be remotely disabled until the balance is paid. It's less clear if SnapOn will tell you if a balance is still owed; I didn't make it that far with the used model I was considering. I did read that SnapOn has no way of tracking any "truck financing" deals between the SnapOn rep and buyer, only if they financed through corporate. So there's that extra caution needed.   Still waffling on whether I go with a ~$500ish Autel/TopDon or spend bigger money. The value seems to be in the prosumer brands. I'm not giving them enough credit TBH, actual production repair shops use them daily BUT I'm still allergic to certain kinds of underdog products trying to unseat American companies with solid reputations. SnapOn's scanner isn't wholly made in the US, but it is assembled here and they have US support and probably the most proven/ robust legacy support.   Something to think about. Value, or principles? There's a $1k difference.

      Winter Returned

      By Atlas · Posted

      I'm thankful to live where we don't have extreme weather. We might all be blown to smithereens when Mt. Rainier goes, but 80 is warm enough in the summer and I can generally count the number of hard freezes in the winter on one hand. The cars here don't rust and they don't get sun-baked, either.   We have finished off many of our average 52 days of "clear/sunny" weather, though. Sunsets are coming earlier, the nights are a little cooler. It's right around the first week of September when we get our first warning that summer is coming to a close with overcast skies and the start of "hoodie weather" temperatures during the cooler parts of the day. By October, it's usually time to ditch the shorts. By November, it's mostly raining.

      My point was: If what you are doing works, keep doing it:   But, I will have a talk with AI to make sure their info is more accurate going forward.
