Nitto Authorized Dealer — Newbury Park, CA
Bold aggressive tires for trucks and performance builds. Shop Nitto tires at CAL Tire and Auto Repair, 1180 Newbury Rd, Newbury Park, CA — with professional mounting, road-force balancing, and alignment for all of Ventura County.
Nitto has carved a distinct identity in the truck, off-road, and performance communities through striking aggressive designs, strong social media presence, and genuine capability that backs up the aesthetic. The Trail Grappler and Terra Grappler are among the most recognized truck tires in the country — and the NT555 G2 is a legitimate performance tire with a dedicated following among track-day enthusiasts.
Nitto occupies a unique space in the tire market: a brand that manages to be both genuinely aspirational in truck build culture and technically excellent in performance metrics. The Ridge Grappler — their hybrid all-terrain/mud-terrain design — became a phenomenon because it combined the aggressive look of a mud terrain with enough on-road refinement for daily driving. No other tire had done that as effectively.
At CAL Tire and Auto Repair in Newbury Park, Nitto is one of our most popular choices for truck builds and custom vehicles. We fit Nitto tires regularly on lifted pickups, performance builds, and custom Jeeps — and we have the experience to spec the right Nitto tire for both function and fitment on modified vehicles.
Our advisors will help you match the right model to your vehicle, driving style, and budget. Here are the Nitto lines we most commonly recommend.
The tire that defined the hybrid truck tire category. Alternating tread block patterns deliver the aggressive sidewall look of a mud terrain with highway noise and on-road handling closer to an all-terrain.
Nitto's flagship mud terrain. Three-ply sidewalls, alternating pitch tread blocks, and full void tread for self-cleaning in mud and rock. One of the most recognized mud tires in the truck community.
Nitto's all-terrain for everyday truck and SUV drivers. Less aggressive than the Ridge Grappler — better highway manners, lighter construction, and a cleaner look for stock-height vehicles.
Nitto's all-weather truck tire — 3PMSF certified for severe snow. Combines the Terra Grappler's all-terrain capability with an all-weather compound and rating.
Nitto's flagship sport tire. Wide aspect ratio, directional tread, and high-silica compound for exceptional dry grip and responsive steering. Popular for muscle cars and tuner builds.
Nitto's all-season for premium crossovers and SUVs. Low noise, comfortable ride quality, and reliable wet-weather performance in a more refined design than Nitto's truck-focused lines.

Nitto is the clear choice for lifted truck builds, custom vehicles, and off-road enthusiasts who want the look and capability to match. Also an excellent choice for performance vehicle owners who appreciate the brand's motorsport-adjacent identity.
Nitto is deeply embedded in truck and custom vehicle culture — sponsored builds, SEMA, and social media presence that reflects how their tires actually get used.
Nitto doesn't make performance-for-show tires. The Ridge Grappler's look is backed by genuine all-terrain capability and daily drivability.
Nitto's off-road tires feature multi-ply sidewall construction rated for load demands of lifted, modified, and work trucks — not just show trucks.
The NT555 G2 competes with mid-tier performance tires from major brands in dry grip and steering response — backing up the brand with track metrics.
Proper installation protects your tire investment. Every Nitto install at CAL Tire follows a precise 5-step process — no shortcuts.
We confirm your correct tire size, load index, and speed rating from your door jamb sticker before mounting anything. Incorrect specs affect handling, fuel economy, and safety.
Tires are mounted using calibrated equipment designed to protect alloy and chrome wheels. Bead seating is verified before the tire leaves the machine — no forced inflation shortcuts.
Our road-force balancer simulates actual road load — pressing a roller against the tire while it spins. This catches non-uniformity in the tire's construction that standard spin balancing misses entirely, eliminating vibration at the source.
All Tire Pressure Monitoring System sensors are programmed and verified to communicate correctly with your vehicle's system. You'll never leave our shop with a sensor warning light that wasn't there before.
Lug nuts are torqued to factory specification with a calibrated torque wrench. A test drive confirms zero vibration and correct tire pressure before the vehicle is returned to you.
New tires installed on a misaligned vehicle can develop edge wear within 5,000 miles — burning through a significant portion of the tread life you just paid for. A proper wheel alignment ensures your Nitto tires wear evenly across their full rated mileage.
Our computerized 4-wheel alignment system measures camber, caster, and toe angles at all four corners and produces a before-and-after printed report — concrete proof of what was corrected. Road-force balancing is included in every installation to eliminate vibration from the start.

Yes — particularly the Ridge Grappler and Terra Grappler G2, which are engineered with daily drivability in mind. The Ridge Grappler's hybrid design specifically targets the gap between aggressive mud terrain and daily-driver all-terrain.
We carry Nitto's core truck and performance lines. Specialty sizes for lifted applications may require ordering. Call (805) 499-4811 with your size and we'll confirm availability and lead time if needed.
The Ridge Grappler is more aggressive in look and design — closer to a mud terrain. The KO2 is a true all-terrain with stronger all-weather credentials. For a custom build where aesthetics matter, many drivers choose the Ridge Grappler. For a daily driver where all-weather performance is the priority, the KO2 or Wildpeak A/T3W might be the better call.
