nitto ridge grapplers on 2021 ram 1500

[saiyan]

Hello,

First time posting. I had a question regarding nitto ridge grappler tires on a 2021 Ram 1500 limited ecodiesel.

Size is 295/50r22. Has anyone else used this tire size on their truck? I think I can get a good deal on a set of takeoffs but was wondering about overall ride quality, rubbing, road noise, etc.......
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Not a direct comparison but I had 295/70/18 Grapplers and they were very quiet, smooth and still looked new after 5k of driving.

I did 285/70r18 for commuting and towing quite a bit. I’m at 40,000 miles on the tires. Still have a little under half the tread life left, tires started getting a little noisier but not bad by any means. Rides getting a little rougher due to some of the knobs becoming a little more prominent. Off-road traction in dry or muddy terrain is great. At least for me, when it rains, these tires get pretty slick.

Thank you. Anyone with 22's? I'm concerned about rubbing or having to modify things to make it work. If I have to add spacers or other things, I'd be better off just buying 285/45r22

Interesting sized tire. I am running 285/55/22, wheels are +18 replicas. Stock 22’s are +19.
Mines is slightly taller, but not as wide. I do have wheel spacers, but for sure would clear the UCA’s without them. I have a level but still had to trim my mud flaps a bit to clear.
If you don’t know already, below is a fabulous site to check tire size and all related information. Good luck

The member (name escapes me) that does the youtube series about high mileage 1500 was running those for a while. I found this video, should help you out.

Tires a very quiet, stink in the rain, stink in the snow. Great dry traction, but scariest tire I’ve ever ran in the rain

Appreciate all the info. Hoping to try them out and see.

UPDATE:
Got some new tires. LT295/50r22

Pics were taken before I realized it was set on Offroad 2. I didn't notice any rubbing when turning it fully when I set it to Normal ride height. I didn't test it any lower than that. Didn't see the need.

Ride quality seems slightly rougher. Tire pressure was at 40 so I think I'll drop it to 36 and see. On smooth, newly paved asphalt, it sounds significantly louder than on older asphalt compared to the stock Goodyear Eagle Touring (285/45r22) they replaced. Truck had 22k miles on it. Hoping these tires last a lot longer!

Front and rear at normal ride height.

No leveling kit. Just put the tires on.
