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.

Customer Reviews
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.
These tire have felt the best while towing my tractors.
