I think the toyo's will wear a little better, however they are extremely heavy. The nitto trail graps are a little lighter and depending on size might be cheaper too.
I'm running a set of toyos and have nothing bad to say they are very quiet but on my next set I will be trying out km2 in 37 because they are very light in comparison.

I've spent months researching tires and still haven't made a decision. Alot of people locally run the Toyo's and love them. From what i'm told they are quiet for an M/T. My problem is I don't really need a M/T because my truck will hardly ever be off-road. But I love the way they look compared to A/T's. What I need is a tire that rides like an A/T, is light like an A/T, but looks like an M/T...oh, and it also needs to make my truck get like 5 more mpg's. haha

Im in the same boat as you. I ordered some Goodyear DuraTracs yesterday. They come real close to fitting that bill.

I don't have any personal experience with the Nitto's but my old F150(01 crew cab 4x4) had the 33inch Toyo's and it made it a whole new beast off road. They lasted about 40k miles or so and probably would have lasted more but they saw a lot of gravel which started tearing them up a little. My Dad's truck has 35inch Toyos on it (01 Chevy 2500 4x4 w/6 inch lift) and they have lasted him the last two years and and they do great. Over all I think they are good tires but a little extreme if you don't plan on spending much time off paved roads.

I haven't looked at the good years much. I need to check them out. A couple of guys I work with have Cooper a/t's. One has the zeons and one has the S/T MAXX. The zeons don't look aggressive enough for my taste so that counts them out. The S/T look pretty good but I don't know much about them. But they both claim they ride good.

I will second the Duratracs. I put them on my Superduty, and now my new F150. Depends on the size you want. But I also really like the Kelley Safari TSR. Thats my 1st choice but sizes in 18s are limited and no 20s!!! I had them on my last 150 and loved them, I have a customer with them on his 05 F150 with 50k on them and still has 9/32nds tread left. He should get close to 100k out of them if they continue on same wear path!!!! Thats unheard of!!

I like the duratracs look alot. I've read a few people complaining about the M/T style "hum" they have on the highway. I'm sure this is hard to notice if your super duty is a diesel, but do you notice it in your f-150?
