Attention! Due to the size of the tires, Packages might be SEPARATED in the courier facility and not be DELIVERED on the SAME DAY, even though we do ship them together. Tracking information can be checked by logging on to the courier website with the master tracking number you will receive via email. For example, you can receive 3 tires in one day and the 4th one the next day or the day after, or one tire in one day and the second one day after. We understand that this is a big inconvenience for our buyers, however, this is ABSOLUTELY out of our control.

OVERVIEW

The Nitto Ridge Grappler is an all terrain, all season tire manufactured for SUVs and light trucks.

The tire promotes great all weather traction. The tread design and all season compound improve the dry, wet and winter weather road gripping ability. The tread pattern enhances the grip on the road and terrain surface in various conditions, while the compound keeps the rubber flexibility throughout the year. The tread's wide groove pattern on the other hand, enhances the hydroplaning resistance throughout the tire's on-road performance. These grooves disperse water and slush from below the footprint, maintaining the ideal surface contact throughout the model's performance, guaranteeing a safer drive.

The tread design also improves the model's all terrain grip. The staggered tread blocks and wide groove pattern, along with the stepped shoulder design, enhance the on- and off-road gripping capability. They ensure the tire's performance on soft, loose and uneven terrain surfaces. This provides the tire's excellent forward motion, even when driving through deep mud and loose dirt. This prevents the tire from being stuck on such terrains. The tread's optimal elements keep the footprint clean as well. They resist mud and snow packing between the tread elements, which can block the tire's surface contact. It also actively avoids stone retention as it ejects rocks stuck between the tread elements, before they can drill into the casing and harm the tire. This combination offers high driving safety levels throughout the tire's off-road performance.

The optimal tread design and stronger construction increase the controllability. The flat footprint maintains the tire's road and terrain surface contact throughout its performance. In this manner, the tire boosts the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. As a result, the steering is quicker and more precise in its response to the driver's commands, while the structure is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting the model. The stronger internal structure keeps the ideal tire shape under the load and driving pressure affecting the tire. This upgrades the load carrying and withstanding capability and power, actively preventing the tire's deformation under the heavy load pressure, which significantly enhances its load capacity.

The Ridge Grappler offers a lengthened usability. The stronger compound slows the tread wear rate down with the wear-resistant rubber materials. The tread ensures even pressure distribution along the tread area. The equally spread out forces of acceleration, cornering and braking actively avoids irregular wear. This greatly extends the model's tread and service life.

Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
