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.

All-Terrain Tires Off-Road – 2025 Test 9(17:52)

In a Tire Rack first, we took popular On-Road, Off-Road, and Rugged All-Terrain, as well as Off-Road Max Traction tires, to an off-road driving park to see how these categories compare off the beaten path! As we continue to expand our testing program, we are working towards a full-scale off-road portion that aligns with the objective and subjective format of our road-focused testing. In the meantime, there’s no time like the present to kick up some dust and get a feel for these tires in an off-road environment. So, join us as TJ and Brent take a subjective ride in the sand, across river rock, and attempt a hill climb!

Great tires, came stock on truck. Ride is quiet, i have had no issuse in snow at times 6" deep. Would consider purchasing at the necessary time. The tread life seems okay, buy only 8k miles still too early to tell

TRX is a different animal, but these tires are really sweet. I’ve had everything you can think of and I’d put these in my top 3. They are good in the winter. Hook well with 700hp and are light weight. Tough to beat.

...I'm getting around 48,000 miles on these tires and really have nothing negative to say about them mostly in the Wet Traction, Noise, Ride Comfort and Dry Traction on roads, they are outstanding tires...

This is my 6th set I've put on my RAM TRX as its a company truck and 1 of 5 all with these tires on them. I'm getting around 48,000 miles on these tires and really have nothing negative to say about them mostly in the Wet Traction, Noise, Ride Comfort and Dry Traction on roads, they are outstanding tires and when you can snag them Buy 3 get 4th free at the dealer at 280 each the value is outstanding. There is more aggressive tires out there but if you want superior traction and almost no noise from a think tire then go with these...I am thinking about going up to 37" and that leaves me needing another tire so im not sure what I can get to give me atleast some of the qualities I've been getting..

Fantastic tire overall, I'm not a gentle driver by any means and I haven't pushed these particular tires on certain conditions yet but overall I'm very impressed with how well they have held up and how much more life is left on them after 3 years of moderate/enthusiastic abuse. I'm pushing 700HP on all wheel drive and all 4 tires are still usable and in decent condition.
