Toyo Open Country MT ? If so that's the one I'd go with between the two.
It depends how you use your jeep as well.

they are close to the same tire (made in the same factory toyo owns nitto) so depending on which you get the best deal on. I go with guys that have both of those and both do well.

I have 50K on my Toyos.... I'm predicting I get another 12K out of them (but they are getting loud). My next set will be Toyos.

I love my Nitto's. But I seriously doubt there's much difference between the two since they're made by the same company and the tread pattern is relatively similar. I just wish it wasn't the only tire those Wayalife clones run. That's a con in my book.

Both are great tires. Toyos have a slightly harder compound, so they will last a little longer, the the Nittos hook up better on rocks. I would try to go with a D load rating over the E, if the option is available with the size you go with.

Both are awesome tires and everyone who has owned both with claim similar performances on and off road. From what I was quoted at from Discount Tire, toyos are cheaper. I did end up going with BFG KM2s so I can't say how they actually perform, myself.

I'm kind of new here, so can someone fill me in on TreyJk's joke about wayalife clones?
