    Its almost time for new tires on my ‘19 limited.
    Im currently running 305 55 20 bfg ko2s.
    I really want to run the 295 60 20 ridge grapplers, but I don't want to suffer much power loss.
    From what i see, they would be roughly 7/10th of an inch taller, 1/2 inch narrower, and about 6lb heavier each.
    Is anyone running those tires and can give me some thoughts on how they drive compared to 305s and your current mpg?
    Pics would be appreciated too!

    Those 2 sizes are so close that I don't think you would see much difference.

    I don’t recommend RG’s. I had them on my ‘19 and at 28k they needed to be replaced. They did not wear evenly. As to your question I would think there would not be a huge impact. Probably <1 mpg.

    You can always add a supercharger to make up for any power loss :headbang:

    Running Toyo Open Country AT2 305/50/R20, 12.5 wide. I'm currently running the E rated, so they're slightly lighter than the F rated. Fuel economy is similar, and can confirm, they're good on and off road. I really do want to try Nitro RGs at one point.

    I have ridge grapplers now, I think they will last about 30k miles, I have about 24k now. I am going to wildpeaks next, I don’t do any crazy off-road stuff to justify more than an AT

    Have WILDPEAK A/T3W’s too. Quiet on road. Went from P rated factory tires to E rated wildpeak’s and ride is fine, but it's a truck. Have had it on rocks and so far has held up well, 3k miles on road, maybe 100 miles off. Also put BFG KO2’s on the 05 Sequoia, they have been just fine. Both balanced well, the Falken’s may be quieter, but hard to say as they are different rigs.

    I had my ko2s balanced 2 times when they were new because after 1000 miles they would feel unbalanced. Finally i had them road force balanced and they were fine after that

    Choose the Ridge Grappler if you want to run something more aggressive than a regular AT tire.

    I had the same experience with the Ridge Grapplers, switched to Toyo at3's and couldn't be happier.
