2 years late to the party but I gotta say after watching countless tire reviews and comparisons, this was the best one. Very informative. I currently run the Nitto’s on my Ram 2500, they have about 15k miles on them and they seem to be holding up good. I’d say they’re at 50%. The Nitto’s are a Great off road tire. I’ve taken them off road a lot and they do great. They’re not great in the snow, however. The next set I’m gonna run are the Toyo Open Country RT. I wanna compare the two off road, in the snow, ect. If I don’t like the Toyo, I’ll go back to the Nitto. Really Great Video!

I just got back from getting two replacement Ridge Grapplers on the rear of my 2500 Ram Diesel. I use these a little more aggressively than most would. I do rally recovery work and long distance extreme rallying. I originally got these from Nitto as a sponsor for one of the events, (Alcan 5000) they weren't what I ordered, but I couldn't be happier with these tires. I came from Toyo ATII and it's night and day as far as traction is concerned. I am working as heavy recovery in Merritt BC this weekend for the Pacific Forest Rally. They are forecasting snow, but I won't need to switch to the Blizzaks for this little bit. These and a set of chains will get me anywhere except on ice. When we do Alcan work in the winter, I'll still keep my Blizzaks. (Edit) Just returned from the rally I reference above. Snow in every stage and really slippery mud, these tires were predictable and stable the entire way. I pulled several rally cars out of ditches and banks and never pulled out the chains or any other traction devices. These are seriously rally approved!

These have been great tires, not overly loud, great grip in many conditions including snow (even though they're not snow rated).

I had both the R/T (33x12.5r18) & the Ridge Grapplers (285/75r18) on my 05 CrewCab F150 Lariat, and now have the ridge graps on my 15 Sierra.. The R/T's were fantastic for the first 10-15K miles, but then quickly became slicks on anything other than drive pavement. They were extremely dangerous in the rain/light snow, and despite their aggressive knobby's they would just dig into the ground anytime you were in some light mud.. After 45K miles & one wreck in the rain later, I decided to put the Ridge Graps on. Their handling (wet & dry) characteristics blew me away right off the bat, and I could immediately tell that they were in another league of their own. Made my 05 feel like a sports car during this rainy winter despite having 190K miles on it with all original OEM parts (ball joints, control arms, etc.) that were so worn the ball joints could've fallen out... I even had a set of the original TA/KO's on my 05 before the R/T's, and they couldn't have even begun to hold a candle to these newly engineered Ridge Graps (2016 release). I now have them on my 15 Sierra (285/65r20), and haven't looked back. If you value your families safety in the rain and simply want the best tire money can buy, then buy the Ridge Graps. Great video, and kudos to whoever read down this far!

I was told by a manager at Big O that the Nitto and Toyo are built in the same factory with the same compounds. Tread design, appearance, and function would be the reason to pick one over the other. I am getting a set of R/T's installed today on my Duramax. I spend a lot of time aired down in the sand, hunting the mountains and harsh rocky / muddy / snowy terrain of Utah. The R/T looked to have a slightly more aggressive tread for mud and snow cleanout. No wrong choice on those two options in my mind.

Both great tires. I’ve ran them side by side on near identical trucks. And I’ve ran both more than once. Overall I prefer the RT; they’ve held up better as far as mileage as well as less chunking on shitty oilfield roads. I do think the ridge grappler looks a little better but I’ve put both tires through the ringer and the RT just flat out performs no matter what you throw at it. 60-80k miles under f250/350’s with a lot of rough roads and towing miles on them. 35-50k on the ridge grapplers.

I would argue Kelly started the segment back in the 90's with the MSR. They still sell the TSR now, which predates the Cooper ST Max. I have run the St Max on work trucks and didn't care for them. Still better than a slick though. The Kelly TSR's are a hidden gem. They are a 60-70,000 mile tire on a 1/2 ton pickup. At least they were for me (owned two sets). They are good on the road and never had me wishing i had more tread void in sticky mud. I would highly recommend you review them. That said i am looking for something new for my new truck which has 20" wheels and the Kelly TSR doesn't come in 20" sizes. I am strongly considering one of these two in the video.

Just switched from toyo MT to Nitto RG. The nittos do well in the snow but I feel like the MT had a little more bite in the snow. Hard to say for sure though as the snow is always different each week. Overall i do like them better though. Better cornering and quieter on the road, with strong, predictable off road bite.

Thanks for the feedback!

Excellent video. I learned a few things so thank you. I own a 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon with an AEV 3.5" lift. I ran the Toyo Open Country R/Ts 35x12.5x17s for ~2years -20k miles and they performed great. I sold them recently and now I am running the Nitto Ridge Grapplers in the same size. I don't know why but it feels like a stiffer tire and seems to have a bit more road noise. Off-road performance is about the same. Thanks for taking the time to compare the two tires. I think the are both excellent with very few small differences.

I love these Hybrid tires Now I go off road in my Prius Hybrid these were designed for

I am currently running on Toyo R/T Jeep JLU 2018 and man they are good off-road. My next set of tires would be Nitto Ridgegrapplers I just want to see the difference between them

17 tundra 1794. 3/2 lift upper control arms. I have the nitto’s. The had a funny wear on two of them like a flat spot. Less then 3k miles discount tire replacement. No burn outs or jumping the truck just drive road and beach. Traction is good in rain and dry conditions on the beach 80 miles of just beach round trip excellent soft deep sand with 4x4. Other than the two wearing funny great tire.

Went from the nitto trail grapplers to the the nitto ridge. 35x12.50x20. The ridge grapplers are amazing and perform perfectly on wet roads. I will stick with this model tire from here on out!

They’re terrible in the rain, an honestly, they suck in the snow too. Not sure why there so popular. That being said not many m/t or hybrid are good in the rain, but as far as snow, there are much better out there. As far as mileage and quietness out of tire. It doesn’t get much better than the ridge grappler, I’m switching back to wrangler duratracs after my nittos wear out

@@hulbert87 I've gotten mixed opinions on Duratracs, some say they're great in snow but not in rain and visa versa. Was really hoping the Nitto R.G.'s were gonna be good at least for something in bad weather. Their measurements and look are great. You seem to like them, what do you think?

Can I fit a 33x12.50 nitto ridge grappler with a 2” suspension lift on a 2020 F-150 xlt 4x4 without having to cut any of the crash bars will those tires fit?

Personally have a set or R/T’s they are phenomenal hands down best tire I’ve had, I have put them through everything but snow and did great never got stuck with them but you have to get the tires spinning to eject better but it’s expected because they aren’t a true mt I have 30k on them and I have plenty of life on them still personally I’d recommend them over the nittos for offroading because the shoulder lugs are a lot more open and the tread blocks are just a lot more spaced out in general only down side is the sidewall isn’t as aggressive as I’d like it to be it’s very mild it doesn’t scream off road and I think that’s the only down side this tire

@tailhook44

I agree about the sidewall. For a hybrid tire the sidewall looks pretty weak. I have KO2 right now and they have a more aggressive sidewall. But these RTs will be my next set of tires.

I’m’n’a send one of these sets through mud with 30k behind me, but also want to get into Texas dry season as far as possible before changing to dry tires. Which one gets sent? Can nitto 12 ply f rated handle that stress and not leave me stuck. I will use the low range and dig a bit if I must. Get me stuck and there will be a conversation. I’m far more convinced that the mud platform can handle that request better than the all terrain platform, however 12 ply is phat. I could care less about the rims. Alcoa’s or not. There’s probably something comparable for that tire size. The load rating wouldn’t matter until the truck class increases. Unless that’s what those f rated tires are aimed at. If so, that’s pretty daring. What ply do the 10 ply nitto have in the sidewall? Three like the rt’s or just two?

Hey Matt " Great comparison on these two tires, but I would like your professional advice on the Hankook Dynapro MT2 and the Nitto Ridge Grappler because I have 2020 F250 Super Duty that comes with the Factory Michelin tires. I take this truck off roading in deep snow and mud for two weeks straight when we go deer hunting. After hearing your advice about the Hankook MT2. I'm on the fence post between the two tires.

I bought my 2020 Tundra xp and they had ridge grappler on it. They rode well however I did a little research and for my Tundra that has a 1 to 1.5 lift on it the Recon grapplers are a little better for me. I drive tons of highway but then my final destinations are dirt backroads and construction sites. I have found that they have very limited noise and I can talk on my phone without having to raise my voice. I also found that they wear well. I will repurchase either one. I currently have 275/65/20s on there now.

my ridge grapplers are completely worn down and bald in 29k miles. im a very spirited driver but still expected a little more out of them. the offroad performance was good when there was still tread.
