Hybrid Tires? What are you running?

[Redjk07]

What are you running and why? Let see pictures!
I’m probably going to run a 37 inch mud tire! But was thinking about Hybrid tire? Not sure on the brand I want

The Nitto Ridge Grappler is a very popular Hybrid tire that does well. It's not a mud tire so it depends on your needs. If we can help please let us know.

Toyo RT for me but prefer the looks of the Nitto. I chose the Toyo based on reviews for the weather Ill be in and more people gave higher ratings for the RT in the heavy rain than the Ridge Grappler. I suggest you consider the weather your tires will run through, look up reviews based on that. What works here in the swamp, may not work in NY or Utah.

I have been looking at those also. But they look like they might be noisy. The nittos reviews mentioned chunking on gravel roads several times. Also looking at the at3 but to run 37s. I need an 18 inch rim.

Mine Toyo RTs are being installed today. I will let you all know.

Mine are 35s, but they are the Nitto Ridge Grappler. I have not been in mud with them yet but I think I like them for everything else...still pretty new though....

If any noise is a concern, get the AT3. While the RTs aren't "noisy" to me, if you dont want to hear your tires at all, anything more than an AT wont work for you. Hell, these are quieter than the garbage BFG ATs but they are noisy for an AT, in my opinion.

I was going to replace the Micky Thompson tires on last truck before I bought Gladiator with Cooper ST Maxx, pretty aggressive hybrid tire.

I went with the Ridge Grapplers (35"). Overall I'm very pleased. Good on road and off road performance. Went wheeling yesterday in some pretty wet and muddy terrain (Florida) and they got me through no issue.

If I was you I'd look at the BFG KO2S as well, probably the best all around tire you can buy, they work in Mud, rain,sand, ice and snow. It's a proven tire and probably the most popular. They cost but there is a reason for that. I'd say it's the best daily driver/ moderate wheeler tire you can buy and you will get 50,000 miles out them pretty easily. Some want to bash them but I've never personally seen a bad set and lot of people I know around my area run them including the hard core wheelers.

Ive had them on three different Jeeps, KM2s on an XJ and honestly, thought they were way too loud for an AT, wore like shit despite perfect alignment specs, subpar offroad and the KM2s were just awful on the XJ in every way, shape and form. These are my individual experiences, so while they are a common and typically highly regarded tire choice, I simply cannot recommend them. Im also a tad different than some. Ill spend top dollar on tires for performance and longevity. Tire noise takes a back seat for offroad tires and high performance street tires. Ill tolerate a certain level of noise if the performance is worth it.

A KM2 is not a A/T it's a M/T the KO2 is the BFG A/T, I've never ran a set 9f the KM2s but as most would tell you, there aren't many M/TS that wear good for on road daily driving.

Honestly I've ran a ton of tires over the years and as far as road noise goes I've never had a set of tires quieter than the KO2s and that's running God knows how many different brands.
