I Couldn't Resist... Nitto Ridge Grapplers on my 2021 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro!!
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Okay fine, I have a problem... so what?!?! lol. Today I showcase my new set of Nitto Ridge Grapplers on my Lunar Rock 2021 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro. As many of you know, I've had this exact set of Nitto Ridge Grappler tires on my Tundra TRD Pros before. To me, it really is the PERFECT TIRE for this truck. It fills out the wheel well, widens the stance and just brings it all together. The size of the Nittos are 295/70r18 load range E... weight is about 70lbs per tire. Which is about 15lbs more than the Yokohama Geolander AT tires that were on my Tundra before.
I love how aggressive these Nittos are while still sustaining a quiet road presence. Very minimal road noise from these Nitto Ridge Grapplers. I love BFGoodrich KO2s as well but they just don't suit this Tundra as well in my opinion. Would you agree? Should I have considered a different tire? I know a lot of folks really like the Falken Wildpeaks AT3Ws and Mickey Thompson Baja ATs. What tire would you have selected?
Thank you for watching as always, I really appreciate the support. If you found ANY value in this video or would like to see more Tundra TRD Pro content, please consider Liking and Subscribing. Your support means a lot and it doesn't go unnoticed. Thank you!
-Stay Untamed...

My 2021 TRD Pro double cab has 285/70/18's on it. I went with that size because it is the last size before it dramatically impacts the mpg. I still am able to get 15 city and 18-18.5 highway with my size here in Texas. I've read on the forums that with that extra 40 lbs for all four tires it is the tipping point for the mpg to go down. The best part of the Nittos is just how well they last. I'm at 51,009 miles as of today and they're still looking great. I bet I can easily get another 15-20K out of them before they hit the wear bars. Your next project should be putting some RCI rock sliders on your truck. I have those and they are amazing. I also put a 12,000 lumens lightbar in my big hood scoop which helps a ton in Texas when driving at night and all the deer try to jump in front of me. Great video!
Your background scenery is BEAUTIFUL!!! 'Merica! Truck's nice too. :)

I love the Lunar rock, you should keep it and SC it! Then let me buy it a week later lol. Have a great weekend.

There is no doubt it looks very good. The Cooper STT tires are very good offroad tires. But if you want aggressive looking, you got it. But on this, I gotta say it does look better and badder. Good job on this upgrade.

@@UntamedMotors The truck looks good though bro, would make a great forever truck 😏. Good luck with the build!
Think of the weight you’d shed Dx’ing that rack system and topper. I’d save the topper though for your Wyoming winters & store it in the summer.👊🏻
Ummm 🤔 you are crazy but it doesn’t mean that you’re wrong, definitely video the truck/car every service call. You might be “ crazy “ but ur SMART!!
They look awesome! How do they do in the snow? Especially compared to the KO2s?
Love the Nitto Ridge Grapplers.You think you'll ever do a 1" spacer? Also, go Rhino RB20's incoming from untamed... I can feel it!

Haha no RB20s this time around. I like the Caliraised sliders that are on it. I’ve never been a fan of spacers… they often do more harm than good imo.
I have the exact same truck! I love it! How do you clean your wheels and wheel wells? Mine seem to just always stay dirty!
Thanks untamed! Have you considered Toyo open country A/Tiii? They are 8 pounds lighter (62 per tire) and still aggressive and are better in snow and wet. Just curious of your thoughts on those.
Looks great! What are your thoughts on the new KO3's ?
Tried the nitto and decided to go back to my cooper AT3 xlt.

General grabbers and toyo ats are cool imo. I personally run nitto Ridge grapplers on my lifted 04 sequoia and I do love them. They're pretty cheeks in the snow tho...Also if you ever consider selling this lemme know ! Also also are you going to throw on that new Magnusson super charger ?
ngl truck is bad ass !niceee
How are the sliders holding up with the salt, I want a set of the Wescotts, they look awesome!
I recently went with the Falken Wildpeak A/T3W 265/70-17 115T on my 4Runner because of the weight. Previously had the KO2's and could not eliminate the steering wheel shake at 60 mph.

Interesting, appreciate your comment! I have the same shake at 60mph w/ some large KO2’s on my ‘63 3/4t 4x4 GMC. 🤔
How would say the sound is compared to a BFG K02? Louder, quieter, about the same? My 22 Sequoia TRD Pro will need a new set of shoes pretty soon.
I'll take some scratches for a discount! Truck looks awesome!

Haha that’s what said… they weren’t awful scratches either. But scratches nonetheless…
Curious if you cross shopped 295/70-18 Recon Grapplers in SL weight range. They are 52.5 lbs each and perform very well against the Ridge Grapplers I have had in all conditions, but don't get that big hit on MPG and ride quality. Put Recon's on my 23' TRD Pro and only seeing 1-2 mpg hit adjusted for size (17-18 mpg hand calculated now vs. 19-20 mpg stock)
I love my Falken Wildpeaks AT3Ws on my 2017 1794 T tundra. How are your tires on wet roads ? It would be the only thing I would worry about down here in south Texas.
@livingadreamlife1428

No wet road issues at all with the Grapplers. They’re a hybrid tire.
Interesting, just went through that wheel debacle w/ my LS500 @ local Lexus dealership. They’re going to repaint and repair! I always make a point of telling the svc tech, w/ whom I check the vehicle, that I expect them to take care of my wheels and watch where they place those lug wrenches. They actually type that into the comments…wether replacing tires or just rotating I set the expectation right away.
What tire pressures are you running at cold? Googling tire pressure for 295/70r18 Nitto Ridge Grappler and there's a wide variance of people running various tire pressures. Discount tires had it at 35psi cold but i feel like it's under inflated, I have it now at 38psi cold and it feels better for normal driving.
I’m curious how the 295 Toyo open country M/T’s would fit.
I have 20" rims on the TRD Sport. How would this tire look, thoughts?
Dealer in Northeast College Town. Economic update for your channel. Slight uptick in sales. All economy cars (Versa, Corolla, Sentra) from $7,000 to $11,000. Unseasonably warm weather (high of 60s) Looking foward to Untameds Economic update.
For a second, I thought you'd bought a different truck😂.
Tires are SSUPER EXPENSIVE NOW?
How is this tire in rain? I have KO2s on my 22 Tacoma and from stop to go the tire slips in wet conditions. I don’t jump on the accelerator, not that it would matter with that lack luster power plant 😂😂
Now a days most shops will walk the car with you
Do they rub a little bit in the front?
How are the ridge grapplers on wet roads. I had terra grapplers on a Tacoma they were horrible in the rain.

They aren’t the greatest by any means… they sometimes slip but not as bad as KO2s. The Yokohamas were better in the wet.

You're also pushing 40mm (2x20mm) more air, and you've lost effective gearing with the greater diameter.... it's all a trade-off for looks and clearance. Love the truck though!

Tires look good. Get rid of the rear cap, save your bed paint.
@UntamedMotors
3 ай бұрын
I’ve considered that. I’m on the fence.
Never been a fan of these ridge grapps. Just seems like some AT's are more aggressive. they just don't really look like an MT making it pointless so why just not go with an aggressive AT. the spacing between the lugs seems be more aggressive on the wilpeak at 3/4's. I know the lugs are spaced closer for road noise just not a fan.
should of went with bfgoodrich
Give those a little offset .
Tires look good, but the place looks cold!! No thanks.
I’d love that truck if it weren’t for the bad mileage
Get rid of the decked system if you don’t need it.
Get rid of the bed cover and get a retraxpro. :)
The truck would much better without that bed cap. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Ridges are heavy dude and long in tooth. And all relative. You think it looks aggressive but to others it still looks like you’re riding on bike tires. Btw ko3s are out. Stop with the old outdated tires dude. Lol
