2018+ Post Pictures Thread!- Lets see those shiny new trucks!

I agree. However, the ridge grapplers don’t come in anything smaller than 33? Those tires in that pic don’t look that big...and they would have to do adjust for rubbing, etc???

Took delivery of this today with 6 miles on the odometer. I didn't plan it that way but I'm told it had been on the lot for 3 hours when I bought it.

The stock Michelin Primacy tires are 32.1". Are you really certain you'd be able to spot that 0.9" difference in diameter as captured by a quick cell-phone picture?

Going back to this picture. Showed my guy at the dealership and he said it’s the nitro terra grappler?

Also said it has a 2.5” leveling kit. Anyone agree/disagree?

He said he’d do it al for $3700

They are definitely Nitto Ridge Grapplers. If I had to guess based on the thin sidewall... 33x12.50R22 or 285/50R22 (a 33.2" tire) maybe with the 1.5" READYLift kit. For what its worth, the tires on my FX4 are 275/65R18 (a 32.2" tire). This is a great tool for comparing tire sizes - https://www.tacomaworld.com/tirecalc?tires=285-50r22-33-12.5r22

That being said, my brother and I both had Nitto Terra Grapplers on our F150's and the tread life was AWFUL! We both barely got 30,000 miles out of them. I can imagine that the more aggressive Ridge Grapplers would be even worse on pavement. We now have Toyo Open Country AT2s. I have 60,000 miles on mine (295/65R20, a 35.1" tire) with about 50% tread and he is now on his second set (35x12.5R20) with 30,000 miles and they still look brand new. We will never buy any more Nitto tires, but to each their own.

Not sure on the price of the rims, but if you figure $1,500 for the tires and $1,500 for the rims at most, $700+ to mount and align some wheels sounds like a lot to me - even if they have to remove the struts to put on the spacer for the leveling kit.

I plan on doing the 3"F/2"R READYLift kit with 285/75R18 (a 34.8" tire) Toyo Open Country AT2s.

Open country RTs are hands down the most amazing tire out for mixed driving.

I can cruise at 110 in my truck and they are ridiculously quiet, smooth, fuel efficient. Yet can handle multiple levels of terrain.


The 2018 expedition in this link has them.

Thanks for this! I’m totally flying blind so appreciate the feedback and insight. Sounds like everyone agrees the tires in the photo are indeed much larger, but on 22inch rims. Definitely a lift.

Toyo doesn’t make those in 22s. I’d be ok going a tad bigger than that, but I’m not a fan of the massive tires, especially on a luxury SUV. How big would make a noticeable difference vs the stock 22?

Any other ideas on tires? My guy said terra grappler or cooper Discoverer ATP.

What do people think of these wheels?

Honestly having had terra grapplers on a different truck and BIG All terrains aswell the terragrapplers almost got me stuck in just some thin mud. BFGs have always been a light duty truck/ SUV favorite and they aren't bubbly on the side wall like a bit nitto.

Look in to hankooks aswell, very good tires.

With a 22" rim though pickens start to get thin.

The KMC you have listed says 24"

You don't have to stay with a 22" wheel either, you could go a tick smaller if there are more tire choices.

@Yukon Joe

 

[Garrett]

The KMC also comes in 22. Sorry about that.

How big of a tire can you get without having run or trim issues, WITHOUT a lift?
If I have to choose, I’ll go with a bigger tire that last longer vs the bad reviews Nitto is getting here.
