Help Me Decide!

I want to change the tires on my truck to a more aggresive tire. I had Toyo Open Country M/Ts on my last truck and LOVED them but im really tore with what i want to do with my new truck.

33X12.50R20 Toyo OC M/T
305/55R20 Toyo OC A/T 2
305/55R20 Nitto Terra Grappler A/T

The thing about the OC M/Ts are i have owned a set and a good friend has them as well. We both have gotten 50K+ out of them. Im just worried the A/Ts weather its the Toyos or Nittos not lasting as long.

What yall think? BTW, they will be mounted on factory FX2 wheels if that matters.

There's a gazillion post on terra Grapplers around here. As for which tire, you've obviously made it clear that looks are important to you. I agree BTW and all my tire purchase decisions are made off looks! I made a "practical" tire purchase one time and bought Terra Grapplers of all things...worst tire purchase I've ever made.

Don't get me wrong...completely awesome tire! But it's the most boring tire I've ever had. And wouldn't ya know since I couldn't wait to get rid of them, naturally they lasted forever.

In the end, all the opinions are just that, and none of these dudes, including me, have to live with your truck. Please buy what makes you happy!

Here's another fact about tires...Is there really a bad tire out there anymore? Seriously? Show me ANY tire with a post on here with someone that had a horrible experience with tire X and I'll find three postive threads on the same tire. Tire's are just waaaaaaaaaay to subjective to ever have a factual, meaninful, conversation about.

I've had 5 sets of the Toyo M/T and currently running that truck but those new Toyo A/T II's sure are a good lookin tire and the reviews I've read about them have all been positive. That will probably be my next tire.

My Terragrappler's barely clear due to the 6.4 inch backspacing on the stock wheels...an MT tire with large sidelug's may rub the upper control arm when making a sharp turn.

I have ran 35x12.50x18 Nitto Trail Grapplers on my 05' and then ran 305x55x20 toyo open country A/t on my 2011 Eco Boost, and Like everyone says the M/T tire just looks better the A/T did ride smoother and was quiet but you can t beat the looks of a M/T.
