Nitto Ridge Grappler 285/45R22 XL 114Q Rugged All-Terrain Tire 217750
💡 Is the Nitto Ridge Grappler 285/45R22 a Good Tire?
The Nitto Ridge Grappler 285/45R22 is an all-season rugged all-terrain tire designed for full-size SUVs and light trucks. It delivers solid on-road handling and capable off-road traction on gravel and light trails thanks to its hybrid tread design that balances road comfort with dirt capability. Ride comfort is reasonable for an all-terrain tire, though highway noise levels are noticeable compared to standard all-season tires. Tread life is moderate for its category without a specific mileage warranty. Rated Good by TireRack based on 206 consumer surveys, it serves mixed-use drivers well but lacks the aggressive tread depth needed for serious off-road terrain. Currently priced from $457, it is available through major online tire retailers.
Check availability & current price →About This Tire
The Nitto Ridge Grappler 285/45R22 is a rugged all-terrain tire designed for SUV, Jeep, and pickup truck drivers who prioritize off-road capability and on-road comfort in their daily driving. Its tread design and compound focus on durable construction with reinforced tread blocks and noise-reducing technologies for balanced performance across varied terrain.
The Ridge Grappler features a symmetric tread pattern with robust reinforced tread blocks that have tapered edges for optimized surface contact. Variable pitch tread blocks of different sizes work to reduce road noise, while lateral zig-zag Z grooves promote water evacuation to shoulder notches. Step block edges and staggered shoulder lugs provide grip across all-terrain environments, and sipes in the tread blocks assist with wet traction and hydroplaning resistance. Driver feedback indicates strong wet weather performance and reliable dry traction, with good comfort levels for daily use.
Compared to traditional all-terrain tires, it leans more toward off-road durability while remaining more livable on the road than a full mud-terrain setup. Overall, it's a solid choice for truck and SUV owners used primarily for mixed driving conditions where both highway comfort and trail capability matter.
