Mike Melton compares Nitto's G2 and G3 all-terrain tires. The G3 has more aggressive sidewalls, more sipes for better wet traction, and a 3-Peak Mountain Snow rating that the G2 lacks. Melton says the G3 is the best all-terrain tire available.
The biggest difference between the old Nitto G2 and the new Nitto G3. All right, start with— let's go over the sidewalls. As you can see, this one's not aggressive as the new G3. So let's turn it around to the other sidewall. As you see, this one here still doesn't stick out like the G3, so they improved the way it looks as far as aggressive. Like, there's a noticeable difference on how many sipes are in this tire. Compared to the old G2. So this one here's got definitely a lot better wet traction. Not only that, the G3 is 3-peak mountain snow rating and the old G2 isn't. So the biggest difference between the Nitto G3 and the old Nitto G2 is better wet traction. Then you got extra snow traction because it's 3-peak mountain snow rating. So it's got a little bit different tread compound compared to the G2. So the biggest difference is the compound of the tire, the wet traction, and the snow tire. And how aggressive these are. So a lot of people, when they buy these tires, they're like, oh, I had the G2s, I didn't really like them, they didn't have that good of traction. Well, they improved it on the G3 compared to the G2. So this right here, the G3, is definitely the best all-terrain tire on the market. Better than Falcon, better than Pirelli.
