Nitto Ridge Grappler 265/70R17

All-Terrain Performance for SUVs and Light Trucks

The Ridge Grappler represents the next generation of the Nitto Grappler family of products which provides the best of both worlds from our mud-terrain and all-terrain product offerings. Featuring a revolutionary dynamic hybrid tread pattern, the Ridge Grappler provides a quiet and comfortable ride while the deep, aggressive sidewall lugs and tread pattern provide capable off-road performance.

• Variable Pitch Tread Pattern - Advanced sound equipment was used to create a pattern that provides a quiet and smooth highway ride.

• Shoulder & Lateral Z Grooves - Shoulder grooves are arranged in alternating widths and lengths to clear mud and maintain traction. Lateral Z grooves are set in a zig-zag pattern to provide biting edges for traction.

• Dual Sidewall - Like all Grapplers, the Ridge Grappler features two bold sidewall designs. One side features a more traditional pattern while the other side features a new, aggressive block design.

• Reinforced Block Foundation - Adds rigidity to tread blocks to reduce flex.

• Stone Ejectors - Protects the bottom of groove from stone drilling.

• Staggered Shoulder Lugs - Provides traction in off-road environments.

• Edges - The alternating tapered edges and step block edges both provide additional biting edges for more traction.

FAQs:

- Which vehicles fit 265/70R17 MM-T Ridge Grappler?

This size fits a range of mid-size SUVs and light trucks with 17-inch wheels. Common brands include Toyota, Ford, and Jeep. As with any tire size, verify fit with your specific vehicle (wheel width/offset, suspension, and clearance) and whether any fender or suspension adjustments are needed.

- How does it perform in snow and rain?

The Ridge Grappler M/T is an all-terrain/tire designed for strong off-road traction while providing on-road utility. It handles rain well due to its tread pattern and circumferential grooves, and performs competently in light snow. It is not a dedicated winter tire, so in severe winter conditions you should consider a true winter tire.

- What are the load index and speed rating, and warranty coverage?

Load index and speed rating are printed on the sidewall; for this size, you’ll see a high load index appropriate for light trucks and SUVs, with a speed rating that depends on the exact variant (commonly around H or similar, depending on the build). Warranty terms vary by retailer and region; consult the retailer’s warranty policy and the manufacturer’s warranty for precise coverage and duration.
