well imo i have only driven with the toyo's, my brother in-law just got some nitto on his truck and said that they felt soft and always felt like the tire was low, he didn't much care for them and is changing them for toyo's....

I recently went from 35x12.5x18 mud grapplers to the same size toyo open country m/t's

Night and day difference!

The extremely loud hum from the grapplers is gone and the toyo's are louder than stock with i'd say a 85% difference on the highway and 95% difference in city driving. Grip better, feel lighter and make the truck feel like a whole new beast

Highway speeds can easily be fixed with the radio on the second I setting (II)
The more psi the louder they get and harsher they ride but i would definitely recommend them, especially for an M/T

Toyo M/T>Nitto Mud

Soley dependent upon what you want. Since your 2wd i'd say you wont be doing extreme off-roading, the Nittos are going to wear faster, but IMO have a more aggressive look. They are MUCH louder than the toyos, but I like that as well. Somthing about feeling like your driving an airplane on the highway feels pretty cool.

The Toyo's are a better choice. The Mud Grapplers work well but are extremely loud and wear quickly.

The nittos are heavier louder and wear faster.For someone who just wants the look of a m/t but doesnt offroad much I would go toyo.

From what I heard lately toyo is nitto or nitto is toyo or something like that, I think if I am correct they are the same company.

Toyo makes Nitto tires. Mud Grapplers are a super aggressive looking tire and pretty good for someone who does a lot of offroading but for everyday use on the highway the Toyo's get my vote. Nitto trail grapplers would be a good choice also. If you do very little driving and for show truck's the Mud Grapplers would be OK.

Yep Toyo's over Mud Grapplers. Like PawPaw said you could also go with Trail Grapplers, might save you a little money too.

I have no more than 3K on my Trail Grapplers. I can not speak for long term but for now I have no complaints and really like them. They ride and handle great. I am not partial to them by any means, the Toyo's are a great tire too.
