Most customers rate Wet Traction highly with scores of 9-10, highlighting reliable grip in wet conditions. A few lower scores suggest occasional variability, but overall performance excels for rugged all-terrain use.

...The absolute best tire I've ever had for highway wet road usage...
Tires were new with my 2021 Tundra 4WD Truck purchase (Nov 2020). Nearly 60k driven to date. The absolute best tire I've ever had for highway wet road usage. You will hear the road roar; this has advantages especially when it comes to scaring off deer. Handles very well on dirt and gravel roads. Haven't experienced snow or ice, but would expect solid performance.

I used to cringe when I had to drive on wet roads, not anymore. These Nitto tires don't spin at all when taking off from a stop. I can force a spin, but that is on me...
I can only compare them to the Wranglers. These are a big improvement. The first thing I noticed is how much quieter they are. They are by no means street tire quiet, but you won't have to crank the stereo up to drown out the noise as was required with the Wranglers. You will still get bounced around with the big bumps, but they handle typical road imperfections very well. Handling is about the same as the Wranglers, which is to say very good. Here is the night and day difference: wet roads. I used to cringe when I had to drive on wet roads, not anymore. These Nitto tires don't spin at all when taking off from a stop. I can force a spin, but that is on me. The safety factor alone, being able to drive with confidence on wet roads, made this purchase worthwhile.

The Nitto Ridge Grappler earns strong winter traction scores in rugged conditions, with many customers rating snow and deep snow performance 9-10. Ice traction shows more variability (scores 5-10), but the tire delivers reliable capability in harsh winter environments typical for all-terrain use.

Had some snow and ice come through. Mail truck had trouble getting up a hill, probably 20/25 degree slope about 50-60 yards. Put my bumper on his and locked in 4 low, no spin and got him on his way...

...I have had this tire on highway, dirt, gravel, mud, in snow, and rocks. I cannot complain about how it performed in any of these environments...
Was really surprised with the ride comfort and off-road performance of these tires. Very pleased with how it handed the overlanding trips we have taken both in the Eastern and Mid-West. I have had this tire on highway, dirt, gravel, mud, snow, and rocks. I cannot complain about how it performed in any of these environments. I will be replacing these with another set when that time comes.

Customers overwhelmingly rate the Nitto Ridge Grappler's dry traction as excellent, with most scoring 9s and 10s. High marks highlight confident grip and responsive handling in rugged conditions, aligning perfectly with its all-terrain design. A few 7s suggest minor variability, but overall performance excels for intended use.

...Dry traction: no complaints at all. Excellent performer. I live where the highways have lots of curves and I have no qualms with taking curves at 10-15 MPH over the posted recommendation...
I decided my review of the Nitto Ridge Grappler would wait until I've seen them through their lifespan. After 40,000+ miles, it's time.
Overall, this is a really good tire. Would I buy them again? Yes, if I lived in a warmer, drier climate. Any hang-ups I have with the Ridge Grappler are probably as much about the Tundra's rear-end torque in 2WD as anything to do with the tire. I don't care about ride quality because...it's a truck. The ride was noticeably more stiff than the OEM tires, but you're moving up to Load Range E on a 1/2T truck. Road noise? That's what SiriusXM is for. Now for the Nitty gritty...
Dry traction: no complaints at all. Excellent performer. I live where the highways have lots of curves and I have no qualms with taking curves at 10-15 MPH over the posted recommendation. From brake to Wide Open Throttle there are occasionally some chirps, and there are short breaks in traction over the painted Stop lines at an intersection, but acceleration is confident, reliable, and predictable. Hard braking is just as confident.
Wet traction: under normal highway driving, performance is what you'd expect. Never had any problems in the curves. Acceleration, however...the light rear end and heavy torque makes wet acceleration interesting. Even at 40 MPH, throttling up for on-ramps on the interstate can get a little squirrelly when the truck downshifts to gain speed. Hard braking on wet pavement is better than the acceleration, but there's more weight in the front.
Snow traction: again, under normal driving on snow-covered roads, performance is satisfactory. There is a bit more understeer if you're in 2WD, and 2WD acceleration can be a challenge - even light acceleration from full-stop. 4WD in the snow feels like you could go nearly anywhere, even on hard packed snow.
Off-road: Dry or mud, compared to Courser A/T (2 or 3), BFG A/T3, and General Grabbers, one of the best of any tires I've had on any truck.
