I don't see these great looking tires discussed much on the tire threads. Anyone used either the last generation or the new G2s on their Ridge?

Are you buying them for the look? Are you frequently off roading your Ridge?

They will certainly be a compromise for typical on road driving. Noise and decreased gas mileage will probably be the biggest issues compared to a good all season tire.

Ideally I am looking for a balance of the best road performance and a little more aggressive look that I can get. Thoughts?

I'm running the regular terra grapplers in a 285/50/20 and am very pleased with them so far, I have roughly 5k on them so far. The g2's after some quick reading appear to be a pretty new tire which is why you don't see much talk about them. If I had the choice I would have went with the g2's when I got mine back in September. From what I read the g2 is a redesign and all around better version of the terra grappler.

I'm thinking about getting these for my new dodge because its one of few sizes in AT. (285/75/18)
I always though these are great looking AT terrain.
I had hankook dynapro on my RL and it was excellent, I wish I could find one in my size now

Thanks. It is basically down to the g2 grapplers or the Michelin ltx m/s. Leaning Michelin as I have had great performance for years from Michelin.

I just install the Nitto Terra G2's last week. 265/60/18. They look great, have 65000 mile warrenty (better than goodyear duratrac's). they are not very noisy, I was surprised. So far I like them.

I was also surprised how quiet the Terra Grapplers were. I previously had General Grabber AT2's on the truck and those things hummed from 30-50 mph. Even going with a wider tire the Terras are still quieter than the Grabbers.

I am thinking about running the same size tire... what are the specs of your rims? good looking truck

For what it's worth went ahead with the michelins and have been very pleased - I do mostly highway driving and do a fair amount of hauling of vintage furniture and "junk" and the michelins have performed great with about a months worth of driving all across the country. Family trip to Florida and then a buying trip to Texas - nice ride, a little more growl to the look than the bridges I had on there - so all in all very pleased. Terra's with some XD monsters still always turn my head but since I couldn't afford to do both tires and wheels (one in college and one graduating this year) I went the conservative route and stayed with stock rims.

Do you SCRUB at all with these?

Love the way that your tires and rims look. I am looking at putting the same tires on my 2012 Sport. Did you have to put any lift kit into the truck? Do you have any rubbing? Please let me know, I would love to get these tires.

I don't think I've ever seen this tire on any vehicle around here in WV.
I recently took my daughters vehicle to get tires. I was a walk-in at my local tire shop, so I had about 1.5hr wait.
They were packed that day, but I got to see several people that I haven't seen in a while so time went by fast.

I was paying attention to what everyone was getting.
Most of the sales were BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2's & Michelin Defender LTX M/S.
This just happens to be the two tires I am deciding on getting next go around myself, so I got to see them on several vehicles.
Mainly the BFG's were all on trucks and most of the LTX's were on SUV's.

Maybe tire sales/selection is largely regional based, I dunno, but I see these 2 manufacturers tires (BFG/Mich.) on more vehicles than any other.
