275/65/20 Nitto Ridge Grappler VS 295/60/20 Terra Grappler side by side visual comparison.

[trackstar1319]

Hi all, I have been viewing member tire setups over the past couple days and I just want to share some info I gathered along the way that helped me decide on my choice of setup.

I will be running the stock 20's on my Lariat Sport, FX4 with 2" ReadyLift leveling kit.

So I have been on the fence with these two tires and these two sizes and asked my dealers AutoGear guy to order both so I could get some side by side comparisons before I made my decision.

The left tire is a 275/65/20 Ridge Grappler
The right tire is a 295/60/20 TerraGrappler

I decided to go with the Terra Grapplers as I'm not loosing much diameter and I will get some more width, but it was close.

Here's a photo with the 2" ReadyLift with stock Hankooks.

This is basically how I want to go.
I have the same wheels and want to do a 2” Level with some beefier tires.

Looking forward to the pics!!
Good luck!

I will update tomorrow afternoon with the finished after photo with the Terra Grapplers........unless I change my mind last minute!

@trackstar1319 -

This should be an interesting comparison - not just because of the size difference but also because the Ridge Grapplers and Terra Grapplers are pretty different aggressive-looking tires with different characteristics.

As an aside, I too will be having my F-150 delivered with those Hankooks, perhaps the single-most disappointing thing about the 2021 F-150. Its ratings in off-road, in mud & snow, and rain are mediocre and they look really bland for an AT tire. IMHO, they look cheap - especially on a $50-$80k vehicle. It's no coincidence that so many people are upgrading to Nitto's, to Michelins, to KO2's, and other tires - with many people even keeping to the stock 33" diameters!

I plan to replace mine with KO2's but am still back-and-forth between dia/width's. I'm looking forward to your assessment and your pics!

Just got an update this morning. Here's the stock Hankooks vs the Terras. Wow, what a difference.

This looks perfect! I have roughly the same truck minus the FX4 package. I was looking in Nitto’s as well, except in 305/55r20. Just curious, what made you go Terra over Ridge?

Thanks man!

I decided on the Terras mainly because I was using the stock wheel and just a 2" level. Ultimately down the road a 3" full lift kit and larger wheel and tire set up might be the way I go. However for now I think the slightly less aggressive look of the Terras and them being about an inch wider really does the truck more Justice. I figure it's a good starting point till I can commit to going all the way.

Not sure of your specific use requirements but your other option is the Terra Grappler in 275/65R20 but in a NON-LT which would save some weight and probably increase MPG. The
Terra in 275/65R20 = 47.40
Terra in LT295/60R20 = 60.65
Ridge in LT275/65R20 = 60.85

I've looking at these for awhile while I waited on my truck - I now have my truck so need to decide soon interested to watch your results

Wow, What a better look... looks great

Looks good - I will be interested to hear how this impacts your MPG

Im having trouble finding websites with non LT tires in a 275/65/20. Even the Terras you mentioned I could only find a set that weighs 55lbs. Any suggestions on how/where to look for lighter rubbers?

The link does not work for some reason, so just go to discounttire.com and then find your way to the Nitto's

With those tires being taller than the originals, I think you will need to get your speedometer recalibrated.

 

[GolfR]

I'm curious if the Terra Grabbers actually needed the 2" lift to fit. Anyone have insights on this?
