Advanced sound equipment was used to create a pattern that provides a quiet and smooth highway ride. Engineered with groundbreaking technology, this tire incorporates a modern variable pitch pattern that works to prevent road noise for a quiet, comfortable ride.

Shoulder grooves are arranged in alternating widths and lengths to clear mud and maintain traction. Lateral Z grooves are set in a zig-zag pattern to provide biting edges for traction. Zig-zagging grooves increase the amount of biting edges for increased traction while shoulder grooves are aligned in an asymmetric pattern in order to expel mud from the tire for additional traction reinforcement

Like all Grapplers, the Ridge Grappler features two bold sidewall designs. One side features a more traditional pattern while the other side features a new, aggressive block design. The Nitto Ridge Grappler provides two sidewall designs-- a bold, contemporary block design and a classic pattern.

Adds rigidity to tread blocks to reduce flex. Elasticity is reduced by a refortified block foundation that provides additional stiffness to tread blocks
