Nitto 217520 Ridge Grappler 305/65R18 128Q Hybrid Terrain Tire

The Nitto Ridge Grappler delivers the ultimate hybrid terrain experience, combining the quiet comfort of an all-terrain tire with the aggressive off-road capability of a mud-terrain. This revolutionary tire bridges the gap between two worlds, making it ideal for truck and SUV owners who demand both daily drivability and weekend trail performance.

Dynamic Hybrid Tread Technology:

• Variable Pitch Tread Pattern: Engineered using advanced sound analysis equipment to minimize road noise and deliver a surprisingly quiet highway ride for such an aggressive tire
• Shoulder & Lateral Z Grooves: Alternating width and length shoulder grooves efficiently evacuate mud and debris, while zig-zag lateral Z grooves create multiple biting edges for enhanced traction in challenging conditions
• Reinforced Block Foundation: Adds structural rigidity to tread blocks, reducing flex under load for improved handling and even wear
• Stone Ejectors: Built-in protection prevents stone drilling and punctures to the groove base, extending tire life

Aggressive Off-Road Features:

• Staggered Shoulder Lugs: Deep, aggressive lugs provide superior traction in mud, sand, and loose terrain
• Dual Sidewall Design: Choose between two distinct looks—a traditional pattern or an aggressive new block design—to customize your vehicle's appearance
• Alternating Tapered & Step Block Edges: Multiple edge configurations create additional biting surfaces for improved grip on rocks, snow, and uneven terrain

Specifications: Size 305/65R18, Load Index 128 (3,860 lbs), Speed Rating Q (99 mph). This tire combines the rugged durability expected from the legendary Nitto Grappler family with the refinement needed for daily driving.
