what about Toyo Open Country A/T ? I had a set of bf goodrich and loved them, but I'm also looking to switch and was looking into these toyo's

 

I have also heard that the Nitto AT and Toyo AT are produced from the same manufacturer, just Toyo pays to put their name on it and is more pricey.

Also I talked to my tire guy, and it looks like I'll be going with the Kumho Road Venture KL78LT tire.



I made sure I'm getting the one with the more aggressive looking sidewall like the pic

 

I have around that on mine and there still around 10.5 or so left. and i do a lot of gravel driving.

wow that tire is almost a complete knock off of the goodyear wrangler silent armour

 

Not even close. I work for Goodyear, and that looks NOTHING like the Wrangler SilentArmor.

 

duratracs all the way...put em 2 the test...they past amazingly

 

Just about to say that.

I'd also try the procomp extreme A/T

 

Maxxis Bighorn's may be worth a look.

Cooper st maxx

 

I have to agree with the last post. I just purchased the Cooper ST Maxx. So far I like them. I wanted something a little more agressive then the Nitto Terra Grappler, but not too agressive. Noise level is fine. Now to see how they wear.

Nitto and Toyo tires are produced from the same manufacturer; however, Nitto tires are made from a slightly softer compound than Toyo. As a result, the tread life of Toyo tires are typically a little longer.

 

not bighorns! ive heard nothing but bad about them..there isnt really much offered in a 295/70/17..i ran the same size till i moved up to 305-70s

EDIT:i mounted a set of 295/70/17 hankook AT the other day, they look good except the sidewall looks goofy.

 

Cooper STT has a great review and they are a good tire. Also the TOYO MT is probably my favorite tire and it lasts up to 50,000 if you take care of them.

 

Try firestone destination ATs, i got them and i love them. No road noise and do great offroad.

 

IDK about which one is softer, but my experience has been that the Nitto Terragrappler on my truck have out lasted a set of Toyo Open Country AT's on my coworkers truck...by over 10,000 miles. Same truck, similar driving styles, both 17" wheels on 33's
