Ridge Grapplers are the bomb. They do get a bit louder with mileage, but I still really like mine.

They have very little siping. I think there is only one in each tread block? You would be way happier running Duratracs IMO. Tons of siping. They should be great in the rain, snow and ice.

I don't drive my Raptor in the shit weather, so that's one of the reasons I went with RGs. I knew they could be bad the winter, but I don't drive it in snow anyways. I'm done with destroying high dollar trucks by operating them in the winter salt belt.

Yeah i've been looking at different tires lately for winter. Love these for any other time of the year tho. And i'm luck where I live they don't salt the roads, just the highways. I know what you mean tho, I can't imagine how frustrating that must be

To update this thread, I went back to 35's in fear of limiting my truck just for the looks. If I wanted to spend the extra $$$ to build the suspension/body around 37s, I would have kept them. Love these 35 RGs, looks mean and feel fantastic on the road...

As others have said, the RGs definitely get louder as the wear. I went with 37" Toyo RTs because the MTs also tend to get louder as the wear. The RTs have been great so far, but I only have about 10K miles on them. I have Geisers up front and Deaver +3 with RPG bump stops out back. My Fuel wheels have a +6mm offset and I had to do minor trimming on the inner plastic to avoid rubbing with everyday spirited driving. I have done light off-roading several times without issue.

Will I lose my front fenders if I go to full compression? Possibly, but then I will move to +2 fronts and leave the backs alone.
