Nitto Ridge Grappler
Upgrade to the Nitto Ridge Grappler 245/65R17 111T XL BSW, a hybrid terrain tire built for drivers who want aggressive off-road looks, capable dirt and gravel traction, and a quieter ride than many traditional mud-terrain tires. This 245/65R17 Ridge Grappler is a popular metric fitment for select Lexus GX, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Dodge Durango, Toyota 4Runner, Ford Explorer, Nissan Pathfinder models, plus similar trucks and SUVs using 17-inch wheels.
Why choose the Nitto Ridge Grappler in 245/65R17?
Built for SUVs, midsize trucks, and light-duty pickups that need more aggressive traction: The 111T XL rating adds extra load capacity for larger SUVs, half-ton trucks, cargo, passengers, and custom wheel setups.
Hybrid terrain performance: The Ridge Grappler blends all-terrain road manners with mud-terrain-inspired bite for drivers who split time between pavement, job sites, trails, gravel roads, and weekend adventure.
Quiet, comfortable road manners: Nitto's hybrid tread design is engineered to reduce pattern noise while still giving the tire an aggressive stance on trucks, Jeeps, and SUVs.
Confident off-road traction: Alternating shoulder grooves, staggered shoulder lugs, and deep sidewall lugs help the tire grab loose terrain and add durability-minded sidewall presence.
Rugged truck styling: The Ridge Grappler gives daily-driven pickups and lifted builds a bold look without giving up the on-road usability many drivers need during the week.

This is my second pair. Great tires, great tracking, and good tread life for a fairly aggressive tire.
