Nitto Ridge Grappler


Outfit your truck or SUV with the Nitto Ridge Grappler 265/70R16 116T 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 265/70R16 Ridge Grappler is a popular metric fitment for select Jeep Gladiator, Ford Bronco, Chevrolet Colorado, Toyota Tacoma, Toyota 4Runner, Jeep Wrangler models, plus similar trucks and SUVs using 16-inch wheels.

Why choose the Nitto Ridge Grappler in 265/70R16?

  • Built for SUVs, midsize trucks, and light-duty pickups that need more aggressive traction: The 116T 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.

    Went to these tire after BFG mud terrains wore out. The Nittos are much quieter and smoother on pavement, and when aired-down work just as good as the BFG Mud Terrain tire. I'm very impressed with these tires so far.

        Best tires I’ve ever had. That’s why I’ve had them on 2 trucks. I haul a 40’ fifth wheel at 14,500 lbs and the tires handle it well.
