Toyo vs Nitto. Which do you like best

I just put some 22x14 wheels on my 2011 f250 with some 37" nitto trail grapplers. I have Had nothing but Toyo m/t's in the past but I thought I would try something new this time. I like the nittos so far but I was wondering what everyone else thinks of the 2 and why?

Being that they are made by the same company I would expect them to perform the same. Having said that I would say the tire that looks the best for the best price would be the better of the two.

BTW I've never owned any of these two tires so this IMO.

I'm assuming you have the new Trail Grapplers M/T.

Yes I have the trail grapplers. I owned 3 pairs of toyo m/t also. I like them both and they are about the same price

Check out maxxis Bighorns. Reasonable price and a good mud tire.

If I could get my hands on them, I'd go with Toyo's.

I have run multiple sets of the Toyo AT on previous superduties. I get about 28,000 -30,000 miles per set of tires. The Toyo AT are not a really aggressive tire. They are better than the OEM Conti's but not as good in snow or mud as some of the other brands that I have tried. Reasonible priced.

The one advantage of both the Toyo and the Nitto, is that they usually offer a plus sized tire that will fit on the stock width rims. I have not tried the M/T tires. Prefering the AT tires for a little longer tread life and quieter ride.

I had the Nitto Trails on my Cummins and they were amazing. Give them a shot.

I've never had any of them but just read the write up on the 3 nitto set ups in Diesel Power. They said the nitto trails seemed squirmy on the streets and didn't handle as well as their mud terrains on pavement which surprised them. My friend has the 37" toyo MT's on his dodge and they have lasted forever. They actually should have been replaced over a year and half ago and he's still driving around on them (they are almost literally smooth). The truck now handles like crap, but they still get him around.

Having had the Nitto trails and not being a "they said" situation, they handled great. I towed on them often as well. Handling was great, very little road noise for how aggressive they are. They were great in down pours, mud etc. Just a great tire period. I will get them again.-From an owner

Will you post some pics of them on your rig please. I loved the looks of them on my Dodge with the KMC Rock Stars. I have no idea what I am doing next.
