Tire Advice

[Packerowner84]

First, thanks everyone who has been helping me to decide on wheel/tire size.

I’m set to get 20 inch Fuel Rebels tomorrow with a 35 inch tire. I’m torn between the Nitto Grapplers or just going up from 33s to 35s General Grabbers.

I live in Nebraska. So Winters can be continual blizzards or they can just be Antarctica style cold with little snow. Just for reference.

I was pretty set on the Grapplers. But now I’ve been reading a bit that they don’t handle snow and ice great.

I am just seeing if anyone on here can give me their personal experience with Grapplers. Reviews online are all over the place. Just want to make sure I don’t regret either choice.

Thank you again to everyone who has helped!

Have you considered Toyo's, Nittos parent company. The AT3 is the best all around tire I have ever run. I have not been in Snow/Ice yet with my Tremor but they performed excellently on my 4Runner and Tacoma.

If you want a tire good for snow and ice, look for the 3 pms rating, examples are general grabber atx, falken wildpeak at3w ( I personally recommend), Mickey Thompson Baja Boss At, toyo open country at3, or the bfg ko at tires, those are just a few. The wildpeaks as stated above are my personal favorite, I put around 67k on my first set and around 69k on the second set, still had good traction in snow with only 2-3/32nds tread.

I ran the ridge grapplers for 25k miles, although they seemed ok in the snow I can’t say the same for the rain a bit more slippery than I like. I’m now running the nitto recon grapplers and I haven’t driven in the snow yet, but wet traction is better and they are a lot quieter comparable to stock.

I second Faktor34's recommendation for Falken Wildpeak AT3W. I have used this tire on 20" rim on previous F150, no complaints running in MN winter and pulling snowmobile trailers throughout the season, quiet on road as a bonus.

I’m currently running Baja Boss AT and they’ve done well in the little snow they’ve seen. I’ve heard these are on National back order and are hard to source right now.

If snow traction is key I cannot speak highly enough of the Falken Wildpeak AT3W that I’ve run on my Xterra.

Utah winters can be the same. Heavy snow and wet or just cold as heck and icy, never felt unsafe other than on unseen patches of black ice that no unstuffed tire fairs well on.

Ran KO2’s. Falkens better all the way around.

Have run Toto AT2’s and the Falkens better than those as well.
