So I've really been wanting to get a new set of tires on my truck and really think those Nitto's are pretty sick looking! However, hard to say when they will have a set out in the size I want.
BFG on the other hand has them available right now and from Discount Tire at a really good price. I also have had great experience with BFGs in the past, not sure how Nitto's hold up, 90% hwy........
Worth the wait or mount up some BFGs?

I'm in the same boat. The tG are $130 cheaper for the set. I'm thinking I may go that route. I've had both in the past. I don't think you can go wrong either way,

What size are you looking at?
I might be able to get you a realistic ETA.

Oh by the way, for highway driving I would definitely recommend the BFG over the Nitto simply because the speed rating of the Ridge Grapplers are capped at "Q".
Max speed of 99 mph which is below OE specs.
High speed stability and handling will suffer.

Too bad IMO. The tire looks GREAT and is built like a tank.
For the record, these Nitto's are made in the USA. (White, GA)

Release date of that Nitto is 09/01/2016.

Oh well interesting on that speed rating, was not planning on ever going that fast. However it makes me wonder how will they behave at 80 mph.

I was a big BFG KO fan with my Superduties. I put the KO2's on my 2013 F350 and they were much better than the KO's. Quieter, nicer ride, better handling, and much better wear. My KO's were bald when I finally put the new KO2's on, so I immediately noticed an MPG hit, but after 10k, it picked back up.
I'd like to put them on my 2016 Supercrew, but am afraid to take the mpg hit when I'm trying to suck out every mile. The sissy Wranglers they call All Terrains with Kevlar will probably go 60k plus forcing me from KO2's for a while.

I had a set of Nitto Terra Grapplers and a set of Dura Grapplers on two different Dodge 2500 Diesel trucks (very heavy front end). They wore great and handled very well, the Duras were a tad bit quieter but the Terras looked better.

I think the new Ridge Grappler look great. I'm waiting to hear some people on here and how their experiences are. As of now ill keep wearing out these factory Hankook
