Default TOYO OPEN COUNTRY M/T vs ?

I recently ordered 35's open country m/t's but just found out they are on back order. I'm now leaning towards the BF goodrinch KM2's what do you think?

IMO,the Toyos are a much better tire.

They're rounder,smoother,quieter and have better bite.

Unless you need them today,I'd hold out for the Toyos.

Love my toyos on the rocks, they bite hard and the sidewalls are tough as hell.

I had a set of toyos and went to coopers as well. They are softer and ride smooth. Only Problem I had was balancing them. Just a thought. Still toyo is a great tire.

I've had the BFG when I was running 35x12.50, now I am running the 37x14.5 toyo's. I wish the BFG's were available in a 37x12.5x15... So I settled for the TOYO's.
Both tires are great. I've had the BFG's on snow and ice and had no problem. I've never driven the Toyo's on ice or snow, yet.

I have not seen anybody post anything about the Bridgestone Dueler M/T's on here. I had these Dueler M/T's on a 3/4 ton Dodge 4x4 diesel I had and I loved them. I got excellent traction with them in the mud on that heavy long bed truck that was about 8,600 pounds and with those tires on I never got stuck and had no winch on that truck. Anytime you got in anything soft in that truck you'd sink up to almost the bottom of the bumpers. Another thing about these tires I had on that truck was before trading it in those tires had just over 15,000 miles on them and still had 13/32nds of tread left on them. But this was done cause I had them rotated and balanced every 5,000 miles. So you definately get life out of these mud terrain tires. Maybe you should look into these tires. Just a suggestion hopefully it is helpful to someone.
