Default Toyos or Nittos 35x12.50x17

Hey guys I am about to pull the trigger on a new set of tires, and I was wondering what your thoughts were on Toyo Open Country R/Ts and Nitto Trail Grappler M/Ts? I know the R/T are a type of hybrid between all terrain and mud terrain and good for dAily driving and light weekend wheeling. The Nittos I just hear nothing but great things about them. Offroad use is great and on road manners are pretty good too. I really like both and just don't know how to decide

We just got the R/T's and i love them. Very quiet considering it is an off road tire.

I had a set of Toyo Open Country *MTs* on my LJ. They were the best riding, sounding, wearing, balancing, and grabbing MTs I've been around. Worth a consideration.

Toyo is the parent company of Nitto. Nitto tires are made in Georgia.

I've got Nittos and they've been awesome - 50k miles on the current set and no issues or complaints!

Love my Nittos! I have 37" with almost 20,000 miles on them with plenty of tread left.

Thanks everyone I decided to go with the Nitto Trail Grapplers! They will be here Friday. Still have to wait for lift and tire install another week but I know it will be worth the wait.

Vote for Toyos. Ran several sets on pickups. I have 20,000 on the ATIl. Hardly any wear. They are a E range tire. I run mine at 29lbs could probably go a little lower.
