Nitto LT255/80R17 121/118Q E/10 RIDGE GRAPPLER BW 217380

Features and Benefits: All weather traction; Enhanced controllability; All terrain traction; Upgraded durability; Longer lasting tread life; Nitto Ridge Grappler TiresThe Nitto Ridge Grappler is an all terrain, all season tire made for SUVs and light trucks. This model features all terrain capability. The all terrain grip is enhanced by the tread d... moreesign. The staggered tread blocks and wide groove pattern, along with the stepped shoulder design, enhance the on- and off-road gripping capability. They ensure the tire's performance on soft, loose and uneven terrain surfaces. This provides the tire's excellent forward motion, even when driving through deep mud and loose dirt and prevents the tire from getting stuck. The tread's optimal elements keep the footprint clean as well. They resist mud and snow packing between the tread elements, which can block the tire's surface contact. It also actively avoids stone retention as it ejects rocks stuck between the tread elements, before they can drill into the casing and harm the tire. This combination offers high driving safety levels during the tire's off-road performance. This model features excellent handling and upgraded load capacity. The optimal tread design and stronger construction increase the controllability. The flat footprint maintains the tire's road and terrain surface contact throughout its performance. This boosts the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. Resulting in a faster and more precise response to the driver's commands, while the structure remains stable while under driving pressure. The stronger internal structure keeps the ideal tire shape under the load and driving pressure affecting the tire. This upgrades the load carrying and withstanding capability and power, actively preventing the tire's deformation under the heavy load pressure, which significantly enhances its load capacity. The tire was designed for year-round performance due to its great all weather traction. The tread design and all season compound improve the dry, wet and winter weather road gripping ability. The tread pattern enhances the grip on the road and terrain surface in various conditions, while the compound keeps the rubber flexibility throughout the year. The tread's wide groove pattern on the other hand, enhances the hydroplaning resistance throughout the tire's on-road performance. These grooves disperse water and slush from below the footprint, maintaining the ideal surface contact throughout the model's performance, thereby boosting the safety level.
