jcsswix - How do you like those Nitto grapplers? I have been eye balling those. Do those 20" rims leave you enough sidewall when you air down?

PS. Ive only see a few Z71 07 and up.

Love the Nitto Ridge Grapplers. They're great on and off-road. I have plenty of sidewall when aired down. They are 10ply so they're very stout. I haven't ran them less than 15psi. It required extensive trimming of the inner fender well to fit the wheel/tire setup without rubbing even with the few inches of lift from my suspension setup. Also yeah I have seen very few z71's 07 and up too... They're not very common it seems.

Which Nittos did you have? Everyone I know that has had the ridge grapplers have had excellent tread life. They were recommended to me by a friend who manages a discount tire company and in my own research online the consensus was they run 40k miles easily if properly rotated. This played a huge part in my decision to go with them.

sorry, i'm not sure, it was a few trucks ago. i just remember treads wore down at 30k and wet traction suffered.
