Finally changed out my tired Falkens for the Nitto Ridge Grappler in 255/55R18 size. What a great change. Looks great and very aggressive tread, yet still quiet on the highway (quieter than my Falkens actually!).
It's been raining here in Phoenix so after 30mins of owning them, they saw their first mud usage. There's open desert right across from my office with short 4x4 trails in it. Great grip even in the slippery stuff and they evacuated the mud quickly. In fact going back onto the road through gravel I had nothing kicking out. (Full Disclosure - my mud is more sandy mud and not the clay/sticky kind)
The size is 0.4" taller, so I get 0.2" more ground clearance. I did actually notice as going through one of the big ruts I usually scrape the front bumper slightly, but this time went right through.
First pic is the original Falkens before I took them off. Then 1 matching pic of the new tires right after they were put on and several more after the trip through the mud!
Love them!
