Those look amazing! I read about these tires and they don’t seem to be rated for freezing temps and snow. Am I mistaken or do you not get super cold or snowy weather?

Thanks!

Grapplers aren't 3PSF rated, but this doesn't necessarily mean they won't traction well in snow as long as they have at least half their tread depth remaining. Oh well - at least the tow truck driver will complement their looks after he yanks you out of the ditch (lol).
Reviews on Nitto's website don't depart from most other tires. About 75% give them 4-5 star ratings, while 25% complain about noise, traction and tread-wear. Tires perform differently given size, vehicle, use and driving style, so all you can do is a bit of upfront research and then drive 20K miles to find out if you made the right choice.

those do look pretty cool. Has anybody dropped down to a smaller rim size to put real off road tires on? Would really be curious to see a new 63 with a decent off road setup, like 18 inch beadlocks

Thanks! Yeah, they look amazing. The tires are M+S rated so I guess they're good in both summer and winter. I haven't driven in snowy weather yet but I've read many positive reviews from wrangler forum saying that Ridge Grapplers perform well in the snow. However when it's super cold, heavy snowy weather, I tend to stay home

18" rims won't fit onto G63 because of the size of brake calipers. Thought about getting a set of 20" GC01 from 463industries but I didn't want to waste good OEM rims. But you can check it out as I find them looking pretty cool. https://www.463industries.com/gc01

I know I am picking up an older thread here, but just wanted to see how these ties have held up for you and if you were happy in any snow conditions (Although I know there has been super minimal snow for NJ). I'm trading in a G550 for a 2024 G63 and went with the same wheels, but need a tire that I can comfortably drive to mountain in VT and NH.
Thank you in advance.

Sorry for the late reply. These tires have been awesome. Drove all over New England area during ski season and also daily driving in normal weather. Comfortable indeed, I have no complain. Traction on both snow and rain is good, of course you can't compare with stock summer tires during winter. However only down point, if have no experience with offroad tires, you will hear some noise while driving in high speed after 5k< miles or so. Well the truck itself is not a quiet one so.. hope this helps.

Good question not sure. It's been a few years but I believe I just ran the same pressures as OEM - 38 or so in the front and 35 in the rear (the light passenger recommendations as it's usually just me).
