The Ridge Grappler is Nitto's Rugged All-Terrain tire developed for drivers of SUVs, Jeeps, and pickup trucks seeking a stylish, capable, and durable off-road tire that can be reasonably driven in towns and highways in-between their adventures.
The Ridge Grappler's durable compound is molded into a symmetric tread pattern featuring robust reinforced tread blocks with tapered edges which optimize surface contact for competent dry grip. Variable pitch tread blocks of slightly different sizes reduce road noise for enhanced on-road comfort. Step block edges and staggered shoulder lugs combine for advantageous grip characteristics across many all-terrain environments. The Lateral zig-zag patterned Z grooves promote efficient water evacuation to the shoulder notches, while sipes in the tread blocks assist hydroplaning resistance and wet traction on paved surfaces. A high void ratio and multitudinous biting edges deliver confident traction in light snow.
Internal Construction of the Ridge Grappler includes a two-ply reinforced polyester casing for durability and ride comfort. Two high-tensile steel belts offer a sturdy foundation for even load distribution across the footprint. Two nylon reinforcement plies further stabilize the tread for high-speed handling and durability.
As with all Grappler tires, each Ridge Grappler tire features two unique sidewall designs. One side is more traditional while the other features a more aggressive block design.
El neumático Ridge Grappler de Nitto pertenece a la categoría: Todoterreno Resistente y fue desarrollado para conductores de vehículos utilitarios deportivos (SUV, por sus siglas en inglés), Jeeps y picops, que buscan un neumático versátil y estilizado, capaz y duradero, tanto para condiciones todoterreno, como cómodo en los autopistas.
El compuesto de caucho durable del Ridge Grappler es moldeado en una huella de patrón simétrico, que cuenta con bloques robustos, reforzados con bordes cónicos, estos, optimizan el contacto con la superficie, para obtener una tracción competente sobre superficies secas. Bloques en la huella con tonos de sonido variables con diferencias de tamaños leves, reducen el ruido de la carretera para aumentar el confort al conducir en estas. Bloques con bordes escalonados y tacos en los hombros se combinan, para proporcionar características ventajosas a través de muchos ambientes todoterreno. El patrón lateral con surcos en zigzag proporciona una evacuación de agua eficiente a los canales de los hombros, mientras que pequeñas ranuras en los bloques de la huella, ayudan a resistir el deslizamiento sobre agua (hydroplaning) y asistir con la tracción sobre superficies mojadas. Mayor espacio entre los bloques y gran cantidad de bordes adherentes proporcionan una tracción confiable sobre superficies con poca nieve.
La construcción interna del Ridge Grappler posee una estructura reforzada con dos capas de poliéster que aumentan la durabilidad y comodidad del andar. Dos correas de acero con resistencia a tensiones fuertes, ofrecen una fundación sólida, para distribuir el peso a través de toda la huella. Dos capas de refuerzo de nailon aumentan, aún más, la estabilidad de la huella para obtener mejor maniobrabilidad y durabilidad por su uso a velocidades rápidas.
Como todos los neumáticos Grappler, cada neumático Ridge Grappler ofrece dos diseños únicos del flanco, uno tradicional y otro más agresivo.

Reviews highlight excellence in dry traction, with customers praising the RE-71RS's exceptional grip, precise steering response, and confidence-inspiring cornering for autocross, HPDE, and track use. Many note strong wet traction in light rain, though some report hydroplaning risks in standing water. Treadwear earns praise for a 200TW tire, with users reporting consistent performance through multiple heat cycles and 6-8 track days when properly managed. While a few mention accelerated wear under aggressive driving or heavy vehicles, most consider durability impressive for the category. The stiff sidewall and predictable limit behavior are frequently cited as strengths, making these a top choice for competitive drivers prioritizing dry performance and track-day longevity.

...It also had good traction in the wet while driving conservatively in a highway with poor drainage with standing water...
I drive to autocross events. In the street the tires are not too noisy, great traction in the dry. It also had good traction in the wet while driving conservatively in a highway with rather poor drainage with some standing water. In autocross, these stick amazingly well, even better than the worn out Yokohama A052s that I replaced, with much sharper turn-in feel. Very safe at the limit (and even a bit beyond), and better behaved after getting warm. I really like these tires.

Reviewers scoring 9s and 10s praise the RE-71RS for exceptional dry traction, with "sticky" grip and precise cornering ideal for autocross, HPDE, and track days. Many highlight quick warm-up and consistent performance in short sessions, though some note gradual grip loss in prolonged heat. Rapid tread wear aligns with expectations for extreme performance use.

...Dry traction is easier to tell, and it is good! Great for a street tire. For spirited driving on open roads, I highly recommend it.
I've had a good experience with these tires. They are on an old 911 that is now an antique, so I don't thrash it around like I used to anymore (no more track or autocross days, sadly). But I do drive it with spirit on the roads. It's hard to get a great sense of what the tires can do on the street (I don't push legal bounds too much, out of consideration for others), but I have been pretty happy with them. They are much more comfortable than my old Yokohama Advan Neova O8/9s and better in the rain. That said, I rarely drive my car in the rain so I can't say what the limits of the tire are in those conditions. Dry traction is easier to tell, and it is good! Great for a street tire. For spirited driving on open roads, I highly recommend it.

Excellent grip, easy to get up to temperature. Great for fast laps during a 20 minute track session...
Excellent grip, easy to get up to temperature. Great for fast laps during a 20 minute track session. Really good on a wet track except in standing water. These lasted 5 track days, with wear on the first rib being most notable. Street performance is OK, getting noisier as they wear. A new set is on my car now.

Reviews highlight consistent grip even as tread wears, with several users reporting 8-10 track events or 80+ autocross runs. While rapid wear is expected in extreme use, many find it manageable, emphasizing the tire's ability to maintain competitive performance across heat cycles.

...Tread wear is as good as other 200TW tires I have used.
Excellent tires for track/HPDE use. They come up to temp quickly, and maintain performance throughout a 20 minute session. They are predictable, easy to drive. Great traction in the dry. On a wet track (no standing water) they are great, largely because they do come up in temperature even when wet and cold. Tread wear is as good as other 200TW tires I have used.
