I'm running Ridge Grapplers 285/65/18 on my 2016 F250. I have had them on for about 2,000 now. So far I like them, they are very quiet, and have good traction in rain. I have not had them in snow, and don't plan too. LOL. A big plus to me was that they don't pick up rocks since I am running a +1 off set on Fuel Krank wheels. I was worried that they would throw rocks on the side of my truck, so far that is not happened and I have been on some gravel roads. I have been running Nitto Terra Grappllers for a long time with good luck but I was looking for a more aggressive look in a tire and Nitto came out with the Ridge Grapplers so I went that direction.
I know its a 16, but here are a couple of pictures of the Ridge Grapplers on Fuel Kranks. I love the look.

 

Very interested in the noise also. Want aggressive tread but dont want the noise. Would like a nice happy medium.
Anyone look at the general grabber x3s?

 

I went from the stock Michelin's to the Toyo ATII's in 295/65/20. The Michelin's are whisper quiet, can't be beat in the quiet department. The Toyo's do make a slight hum that can be heard, but they more than meet that happy medium between quietness and aggressive looks. My next set will be the Toyo's again. The Ridge Grapplers look more aggressive than the Toyo's so you know what that means, more noise. The more noise might be acceptable but it will be there. Good luck, it's a hard decision.

 

has anyone looked at 35/11.50/20 (in the nitto RG) -- almost the same size but deeper tread depth. Cheaper too. I would imagine deeper tread depth equates to more noise.

 

Thanks for the info

 

Yes indeed they do look nice.. How much do they stick out from the fender?

 

They stick out about and 1" past the finders. More than I wanted but I really liked the rims so went for it.

 

For those of you that have leveled your trucks AND went to 295's, hows the ride? I've been a ford guy for a long time but went over to gmc in 2015 to get the bigger cab and 36gal fuel tank. I tried to level that truck and even just 1" made it ride harsh. I know I'm comparing apples to oranges as the gm trucks have torsion bars. Funny thing is there were a lot of people that said "oh, ya rides like stock". There is no way!!

honest comments appreciated

 

I drove my 2014 for six months before I installed a 2 inch level kit on the front and I have not noticed any difference whatsoever in ride quality seems to be exactly the same

 

I think the major contributor to a "worsening" ride is the new stiffer tires. The Michelins ride so much better on pavement vs the heavy carcass AT/MT's.

 

stock height fuel krank 20x9 +20 offset. Pictures don't do these tires justice, they are so much bigger than stock. 295/65r20 ridge grapplers, no rub. They are much quieter than I anticipated. More like a toyo at2 noise wise. I plan to go with 1-1.5" spacer for front.

 

Just curious -- do you have the High Capacity Tow Package on your truck? Like the wheels but not sure they will fit my truck since I have the bigger diameter rear axle that comes with that package. Thanks

 

Nice looking truck. Think you can post some more pics of front and back? I'm interested in that tire wheel combination, only trying to decide on offset. +20 or +1.

 

IMO,
295-65-r20 would look funny with any more offset . if you went +1 offset, you'd want a wider tire like 35x12.50, since its going to stick out another ~1" in the front (so 2" total) and the rear would probably be around 1". And if you went with 35x12.50 you'd want to go 20x10 rim.


I have the camper package.
Camper Package1

maximum springs have been computer-selected as included
equipment), rear stabilizer bar (SRW), auxiliary rear springs

Just had my windows tinted today they told me 15 is what they used to match
