Nitto Ridge Grappler A/T Tire — 35×12.50R22 (35″)
The Nitto Ridge Grappler in 35×12.50R22 (35″) is built for serious truck and SUV owners running 22-inch wheels who want a commanding stance combined with genuine off-road capability. This large flotation size delivers the Ridge Grappler’s proven hybrid tread technology in a bold, oversized package — ideal for heavily built trucks, overlanding rigs, and custom off-road setups.
A Hybrid Tire Built for Two Worlds
The Ridge Grappler’s signature feature is its Dual Tread Design (DTD) — a stepped tread pattern that combines two tire personalities into one. The outer tread blocks are wide-set and aggressive, similar to a mud-terrain tire, delivering strong bite in mud, gravel, sand, and rocky terrain. The inner tread blocks are tighter and more refined, closer to an all-terrain pattern, helping to reduce road noise and improve ride comfort on pavement. This hybrid approach means you get true off-road capability without sacrificing everyday drivability — even in this larger, more aggressive size.
Big Flotation Sizing for Big Builds
At 35 inches in diameter with a 12.5-inch section width, this tire is designed for trucks that have already been lifted or built out with larger wheel and suspension packages. The wider footprint improves flotation and stability on soft terrain like sand and mud, while the larger overall diameter increases ground clearance for tackling bigger obstacles on the trail.
Reinforced for Off-Road Durability
This tire features a reinforced sidewall construction designed to resist punctures, cuts, and abrasion from rocks, roots, and rough trail debris. For drivers who frequently venture off pavement — whether overlanding, rock crawling, or running remote backroads — this added durability is critical for avoiding costly flats and sidewall damage on a tire this size.
Quiet Ride, Aggressive Look
Nitto engineered the Ridge Grappler with stone ejector technology built into the tread grooves, helping prevent small rocks and debris from becoming lodged in the tire. This reduces long-term noise, vibration, and uneven tread wear. Combined with the stepped tread design, this large-format tire manages to look aggressive and imposing while still delivering a smoother, quieter ride than a comparable mud-terrain tire.

Who Is This Tire For?
The Nitto Ridge Grappler 35×12.50R22 (35″) is a great fit for:
- Truck and SUV owners with lifted builds running 22-inch wheels
- Off-road enthusiasts needing maximum ground clearance and traction
- Overlanders and outdoor adventurers requiring puncture-resistant durability
- Truck owners wanting a bold, aggressive stance without sacrificing on-road comfort
- Anyone completing a larger custom build who needs a proven, reliable tire
Why Choose Flotation Sizing?
Flotation-sized tires like 35×12.50R22 are the standard for serious lifted truck builds because their sizing convention clearly communicates the tire’s actual diameter and width, and they typically offer a wider contact patch than comparable metric sizes — improving traction and stability on loose terrain like sand, mud, and gravel.
Installation & Fitment Notes
A 35″ tire typically requires a significant lift and possible fender/body modifications on most stock trucks and SUVs. This size is best suited for vehicles that are already built out with appropriate suspension and clearance. Always confirm your specific vehicle’s wheel well clearance and backspacing before ordering, and have tires professionally mounted and balanced.
Upgrade your build with the proven performance of the Nitto Ridge Grappler A/T in 35×12.50R22 (35″) — aggressive, durable, and ready for the trail.
