I snow plow with them on a ram 2500 work truck. They are excellent tires for snow in my opinion. No issues with traction at all. They are a bit noisy from my experience at highway speeds. I plan to get them on my F250.

The Duratracs are some of the best snowflake rated truck tires out there, as you’ve experienced yourself. My wife has Ridge Graps on her G wagon, and we are up in Brianhead, Utah right now. Tires do reasonably well in the snow. I went with Nitto Exo Graps for the truck as they are snowflake rated and come in a 37x13.5x20 size, which the Durtracs do not. Otherwise if they had my size I’d go with the Wranglers. Exo Graps have done well, however in all the snow conditions we’ve been in thus far this winter.

I had the same problem deciding between the 2 brands too. I do northern Canadian oil field work and I found one review from a guy that does similar work. He said that he ran Duratracs and then tried a set of ridge grapplers. He said it was the worst decision he has made. I ended up going duratracs (which had terrible reviews for cupping from family members) and I am surprised at how decent they are. I have mine studded as I drive a lot of ice/snow roads. I don’t have personal experience with the ridge grapplers but that one review I found, made the decision for me. I used to run nothing but the trail grapplers but that when I always had 2000lbs in the box.

Edit: The review was between the Exo Grapplers and the Duratracs. I’ve never seen a sidewall blow out of a duratrac but I have heard of lots of people having problems with cupping. Duratracs have multiple options for ply in the same size tires. You have to make sure you get the 10plys and also check that 10plys were installed before you leave the shop. I had a buddy that bought 10s and they installed 8s.

I know it’s not what the OP asked, but maybe the better comparison would be between the Exo Grapplers and the Duratracs. Both studdable and snowflake rated whilst the Ridges are not. Expos have decent siping, no studs in mine.

I like my RGs and have been happy with the snow performance but I really don’t think they’re that quiet.

The ridge grapplers are a great all terrain, I much prefer them over the Toyo at2 and BFG AT. Road noise is insignificant on the ridge grappler and they aren’t scary in the heavy rains or puddles. Can’t speak for their snow performance (I live in GA), but their mud performance is about on par with the BFG AT-they’re ok but the treads don’t clean out easily in mud, making for a lot more tire spinning situations than you will have with the Toyo MT or Nitto Trail Grappler MT (have run both of those). Ridge grapplers perform better off road than the Toyo at2 for certain.

We just had record snow here in Seattle area and I was very impressed by my RG. Ive always tried not to use 4x4 just for fun and I went all over in one wheel drive. I was so impressed I actually talked to people about how I loved my tires. I have no complaints with my tires,
