TERRA GRAPPLER 285/60 R18 120S

VS.

Toyo OPEN COUNTRY A/T 285/60 R18 120S RF

given the same price...which tires would you buy?
i don't do any serous off road, so i'm more interested in quite on-road performance, but i still like rugged looks. thanks.

 

I have the Toyo Open country A/t's, they have been great tires. I will probably get another set when mine wear out, I have over 40,000 miles on the set I have now. They 305/55/20, I read somewere that the the Nitto's were made by Toyo or vise versa-- can't confirm that, just remember reading it

 

I think the nitto/toyo thing is merely an urban legend, a myth.

 

I have read that they are sister companies also, like a Chevy and a GMC truck different make same company

 

will both these tires fit on Ford Factory 18" wheels?

 

Not sure about the endurance quality..
But there's also the design you like better...
And I supose also the design affects the noise level on the road

I'm very happy with my Toyo AT's, but then again I've never had Nittos

I was wrong. Here's a quote I found about Toyo Tire North America: "Toyo says that it will produce tires in Georgia under both the Toyo and Nitto brands."

Even I make mistakes.

 

I got the toyo's you mention. I won't own another set. I have barely gotten 40000 out of mine and they are nearly slick. And they have been balanced and rotated every 6000 miles. For $853 I had hoped to have gotten at least 50000

 

Yep, they are basically the same tire and both are excellet. I guess it comes down to looks and price.

 

thanks for all the replies. i can get either tire for under $750 shipped. looks like the Nittos have a more aggressive look...

anyone with Nittos that can attest to road noise levels?

 

I have the Toyo's you mention. I do not think you would be disappointed getting them.

 

I had the Nittos and they were good tires and pretty damn good offroad.

 

I have Nitto Terra Grapplers and I absolutely love them. They were such an upgrade over the crappy stock tires that came with the truck. At this point I would recommend them to any truck owner as a great on/off road tire that has a very aesthetically aggressive looking tread while still remaining quiet on the road.

 

or


look the same get whatever ones they can get in faster!

 

x2.

I'm running the Toyo's (I love them) but I like the Nitto sidewall design better.
