Nitto 217820 Ridge Grappler 265/65R18 116T Hybrid Terrain Tire

The Nitto Ridge Grappler represents the next generation of hybrid terrain tires, combining the best attributes of mud-terrain and all-terrain designs. This revolutionary tire features a dynamic hybrid tread pattern that delivers a quiet, comfortable highway ride while maintaining aggressive off-road capability through deep sidewall lugs and an advanced tread design.

Key Features:

• Variable Pitch Tread Pattern: Engineered using advanced sound analysis equipment to minimize road noise and provide a smooth, quiet highway driving experience
• Shoulder & Lateral Z Grooves: Alternating width shoulder grooves effectively clear mud and debris while maintaining traction; lateral Z grooves in a zig-zag pattern create multiple biting edges for enhanced grip
• Dual Sidewall Design: Choose between two bold sidewall styles—one traditional Grappler pattern and one aggressive new block design
• Reinforced Block Foundation: Increases tread block rigidity to reduce flex and improve handling stability
• Stone Ejectors: Integrated protection prevents stone drilling and protects groove integrity
• Staggered Shoulder Lugs: Provides superior traction in challenging off-road conditions including loose terrain and mud
• Alternating Tapered Edges: Step block edges and tapered design elements create additional biting surfaces for improved traction in all conditions

This 265/65R18 tire features a 116T load and speed rating, making it ideal for light trucks and SUVs that require versatile on-road comfort with serious off-road performance. The Ridge Grappler bridges the gap between dedicated all-terrain and mud-terrain tires without compromising either capability.
