I have been running the trail grapplers for a year in 35. They are great. Take a beating for sure.
How do you find the trail grapplers on the road? I’m running ridge grapplers now but I’m considering upsizing to the trail grapplers in 35x11.5x17.

I run those exact ones. I think they are great. Run them at 32-35 psi. With the understanding that...
I also expect my Jeep to drive like a SFA truck. I will not take my JT over 90. i feel it corners fine for what it is. Under hard braking like emergency stops it is a bit more likely to slide. They are heavy. With the Black Rhino rims I'm at 110 pounds each. I think the 37 Patagonia is a pound lighter than the 35 Nitto.
I have fast cars with low profile tires for spirited driving.

Nitto makes a hell of a good tire fir sure.. Mine's been thru Sand Hollow, Moab and Holy Cross with zero complaints..
Ridges are great. There’s a reason they’re always sold out or on back order. They will last you 40-50k miles. Though around 30k they start to get loud but it’s a jeep right?

I run 37x12.5x17. I love them. I have close to 40,000 miles on them now. City, highway, trail. We are currently on a two month trip and they are still holding up great. We started in Florida and will go as far as the northern California coast. I don't find them too loud on the highway at 70 or 75 mph.

Another thing to consider is all the talk about getting lightweight tires. I am totally against that. If you go anywhere that your tires are exposed to rocks with sharp edges stay away from the lightweight tires! Get something that is heavy but has a thick sidewall. They will hold up better.

Shortly after I bought it (and still stock) and 1 year later (less Amphib snorkel). this Jeep impresses me more and more every day. Just wish there was more torque.
