    Anyone switch from Ridge Grapplers to Falken Wildpeak AT3W's? Looking for inputs and opinions. My RG's sound like mud tires now lol.

    Got just about 20k miles on my Grapplers and they just started getting noisy. Will be interested in this thread as I do love the look and feel of the RGs so it would be hard for me not to get another set when these wear out but curious what others went to.

    I have had Ridge Grapplers and Falkens, but they were on different vehicles so I can't give a very accurate review of both.
    I can say that the Ridge Grapplers had more road noise, and it got worse as they wore down. The Falkens are quiet in comparison - acknowledging the fact that they were on a newer vehicle.

    I am now looking at the new Recon Grapplers; thinking about giving them a try when my current Falkens wear out. They seem to have better road noise and comfort levels than the Ridge Grapplers, but also look good.

    The Recons do have a slightly lower wet traction rating though.

    I had grapplers and went to Wildpeaks. The nittos got louder as said above. The wildpeaks seem to be wearing better and are much quieter.

    I will have to keep that in mind. I am Florida; in the summer the roads are wet every day.

    I’ve had Trail, Ridge and Terra Grapplers on my personal truck and Wildpeaks on a work truck. You’ll be happier with the AT3W, the Ridge grappler was a weird tire. Looks awesome and was remarkably quiet when brand new, but it got obnoxiously loud and buzzed/rattled at low speed as it wore. By 50k miles I just got rid of them even though they had 8/32nds left, got tired of the noise.

    Walmart has a good price on the wildpeaks rt now. I just ordered a set of 295/60/20 for my limited. They were around 350 each.
