Nitto trail grappler vs toyo open country mt

Rmartin-97 · Mar 3, 2014

I'm on the fence about these two tires. What will last the longest and look the best. Plus get good traction pulling. Also what size would I run on a stock suspension f250. 33's or 35's.

This is with 275/65/20 on a 20x10 wheel

35s for sure

cant say much for the nittos. Ive heard great things about them but Ive never run them myself.
Ive always had toyos, not a complaint yet.

I've had both and I liked toyo better, the nittos seemed to sway more driving down the road. I believe nittos are a little softer and I figure that's why.

Would I need a leveling kit or 35's?

Nittos definitely seem to wear faster then the toyos and feel a little less stable towing then the toyos.

Toyo MTs last longer then the Trail Grapplers.

I suggest a Readylift 2.5" Leveling Kit and some 35s.
Most of my customers go that route when fitting 35s on a 08-up superduty.

i really like both. i have had both in the exact same size, i felt like the toyos were a bit noisier and a bit stiffer, but a nicer tire. i have the nitto's now, i love how quiet they are, but looks and performance i would go back to toyo. that being said my toyo's were on 20's and my nittos are on 22's .

I'm thinking 33in toyos I'm not a fan of messing with factory suspension. Wish 35's would fit stock.

I ran both two sets each on my truck. Both wore out within 25,000 miles. My truck is my work truck and is heavy. Just my experience.

how wide are your wheels?
Edit just saw you are running a 20x10, that might be a tough fit, the 35s i had were not even close to rubbing tho if that helps. but as you can see the offset is pretty close to a stock 20

I ran 35s on my 08 stock hieght with a 20x9 wheel that was just a bit over stocfk offset and they did not rub 35-12.5r20 toyo mt

Toyos look better, ride better and last longer. I know this by experience.

There a 20x10 wheel.

ya sorry i missed that the first time i looked at the pictures.

it would be close i think
Im pretty sure the 35 12.5s are smaller and narrower than the closest metric counterpart 285? somethings

I liked my trail grapplers. I feel like they do better with traction offroad than the toyos. But the toyos do seem to last longer and the toyos seemed a little quieter to me. I also know I never had the sway problem that a friend of mine has had on two sets and my cousin has them on his LML and hates them just because they sway soo bad, especially when towing

What's everyone's thoughts on Mickey Thompson mtz's. I was looking at them to.

Coxey Diesel · Mar 4, 2014

It's hard to miss with Toyo's.

Rmartin-97 · Mar 4, 2014

I hear great things on the toyos I've considered bfg all terrains to but I was told they don't hold up.

Dzchey21 · Mar 4, 2014

I would run an atz before and mtz and honestly toyo mts don't make as much noise as the atz do.

My only complaint with toyo Mt is they almost look too narrow when they are brand new because of the tread design. But all around they work awesome in the snow mud and on the highway I think that's what I'm going to switch back to
