Within the last 6 months I've purchased Nitto NT555 G2 Ultra High Performance Summers for two vehicles and I'm extremely happy with them. Nitto has expanded their production capacity in the US and has a reputation for producing tires that both perform AND meet their customers needs/wants/desires! Worth a look...

I have the ridge grapplers as well. Great tire. But wouldn’t mind trying tge MT’s next.

Looks beefy. Tundras always look better on an AT tire. Highway tires just seem off proportioned on a Tundra.

Are you able to use stock rims?

Keep us updated on your impressions. I seriously looked at these last fall. Just couldn’t locate any to buy if I wanted. Ended up with the proven (to me) Falken Wildpeaks, which have been a good choice so far.

I had read they were tough on mpg. Factory tires are usually very good on fuel, at the expense of many other things I find important.

I am going down to a 17” wheel. They arrive Tuesday. Wanting a bit more sidewall and 17” tires are cheaper than 20” tires. So I’ll take that savings and put towards the wheels and will save on tires in the future.
These wheels are super corroded and 2 have slow leaks so the lips need to be sanded pretty good.
That was going to be another $100.
I’ll be able to sell these on the FB for $200 bucks likely so adding all that the wheels are close to a wash.

Wildpeaks are great tires had them on my Expedition prior to this.
However their prices have skyrocketed and many are now made in China. Though Falken said if I got Chinese made tires from an online vendor they would swap them to a non Chinese made set.

But I am doing all I can to buy American made and owned stuff.
So Mickeys fit the bill.

We’ll see how it goes.
