Ok, I’m confused, The Terra Grapplers in the exact same size are a pound lighter than the Ridge Grapplers, also the Terra Grapplers have less of a gap in the tread than the Ridge in which should make the TG’s quieter? I’ve run the Trail Grappler before and they are heavier and much louder but the TG’s are much more of a street tire than the RG’s or am I totally missing something?

Found my heavier Nitto Ridge Grappler tires do much better with high quality shocks versus stock oem shocks. In addition, airing them down a bit does help ride quality too.     Sent from my iPhone

I’d love if the car wash would use Griots products, that’s what I use on my Vette. Anyway I think for my use the TG’s are the way to go since 99.9% of my driving is highway.

my apologies, are you referring to the Orig Terra or Terra G2?  There's also the Trail Terra which i thought you were referring to. 

 

To sum it up:

 

Terra VS Ridge...

 

Dry Performance - Ridge Grappler outperforms

Wet Performance - Ridge Grappler Outperforms

Comfort - Equal

Noise - Equal

 

The Ridge is Nitto's latest and greatest..  It's got 5 years of new tech behind the tread compound, giving you the best possible road performing tire that still retains the aggressive look.

 

Hopefully this helped more than confused you lol.

I am referring to the TG G2’s. I like the look of the Ridge Grapplers but you’re going to laugh at me for a big reason as to why I’m concerned about running them, I go through the car wash at least 2 times a week and the sidewall tread would throw tire gloss all over my truck as soon as I drive out, it would drive me crazy, my current TG’s are bad enough. Yeah, I’m a little nuts and OCD but it makes me who I am, LOL. I’m gonna have to think about this. 

 

Thanks once again for your insight on this, I do appreciate it.

ok now we're on the same page.

 

G2 is a good high treadwear tire, it's a better road tire than the Ridge.  You can't go wrong either way... very slight tradeoffs at this point.

 

I'm also OCD on this stuff... and I know what you're talking about.  

 

try out this shine, it doesn't fly off the tire.

Me too, but the tires from my local supplier are on back order, they are supposed to come in next week, so once they are on I'll post up some pictures.

Eppieguy, how did these tires turn out for you? Hows the ride with the heavier tires? I'm at the same junction you are deciding size.

 

Thanks!

Sorry, I've been away on Vacation, just seeing this. I am 100% happy, the ride is better in my opinion, they look great, very very happy with the final result. I have absolutely nothing negative to say about the change. I'm sure I took a little hit to MPG but I never really paid attention because I don't care about MPG's to be honest, if I did I wouldn't have bought a 6.2 and lifted it! LOL

Eppie Guy, im looking to get the same size nitto tire for my stock 22s.  I just bought the truck and havent leveled it.  Do you have any issues with rubbing with this size tire?

I have them in a 35x12.5x22.  Don't believe all the hype. They aren't "super" quiet like you read all over the forums. No difference in traction between these or any other tire I've tried in the snow or rain ( no tire has good traction in the snow besides snow tires ).

      upgrading speakers on 2026 std cab WT...

      By bwiese · Posted

      I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose

      Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
