Well damn, I ended up sending them back. I spend 99٪ of the time going 80+ mph in dfw traffic, and the graps were rough above 70 compared to stock michelin es. I also was worried about the sipes dissapearing (seen in another post) as they already were a little slippery in the rain. Finally my mpgs took a big duke. I guess Im gettin too old, but I see defenders in my future after these wear out...

The ridge grapplers are definitely a little louder than the terra grapplers... just depends if you want the aggressive look over noise increase.

Well thanks for the update! I have been toying with the idea of switching out the wifes terra graps for the ridge graps. But I have a feeling they may be a bit more aggressive of a tire than I want. She racks the miles up quickly and burns through the gas as it is....really dont need to make it worse. Plus, they need to have great winter performance, and I think the ridge graps would more than likely barely be acceptable.

In certain sizes the Ridge Grappler comes in a passenger tire as well as the regular LT. The passenger is lighter and has a higher speed rating as I recall - less ply I believe is the trade off and perhaps a few mm of tread depth.

* checkout the specs under different wheel diameters...*
I live in Maine and the Ridge Grappler has performed well for me through all seasons. NITTO tire does make an all-weather all terrain tire that might be worth looking at.

How are the wheel skins holding up a year later?Actually, these are the stock LT wheels with some black "wheel skins." Here is when I first put them on with stock tires...
