Summary

Description

The Nitto Ridge Grappler is a hybrid all-terrain/mud-terrain tire designed for light trucks and SUVs. Positioned between the mud-focused Trail Grappler M/T and the more road-oriented Terra Grappler G2, this model offers a balanced performance both off-road and on pavement. Its aggressive tread and sidewall design provide excellent traction in rugged conditions, while maintaining a smooth, quiet ride on highways.

Features & Benefits

  • Hybrid Tread Design: Combines aggressive off-road grip with optimized tread pitch for a quieter on-road experience.
  • Z-shaped Center Sipes: Increase biting edges for better traction in loose terrain.
  • Stone Ejectors: Prevent stone retention and protect against tread block damage.
  • Reinforced Tread Blocks: Reduce flex and improve durability under load and rough conditions.
  • Dual Sidewall Design: Offers the option of a more traditional or aggressive appearance.
  • Self-Cleaning Shoulder Grooves: Improve mud and debris evacuation to maintain grip in off-road scenarios.
