Soaking ribs in a brine?

Has anyone ever considered brining ribs prior to cooking if so what solution did you use? Will it increase the tenderness of the ribs? Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks.

    T-Bone,
    yes I have brined ribs but I also used a vacuum pan with my foodsaver, I believe it is called a marinater, I also remove the skin on the back of the ribs, ribs always come out tender, I find brining them adds more seasoning deeper inside the meat itself.As for a recipe, I just use a basic rub or salt, pepper, mustard, and water to brine.
    Good Luck

    Chef Wil,
    I marinate ribs in grapefruit juice. A plastic bags works best. They turn white after a few hours. I then coat them with mustard followed with a rub. Cooking time @ 225 is typically 4 to 5 hours.[p]
