Nitto Trails or Toyo MT
 

Let me fill you in; I want the best looking tire, I also want the most capable in snow, mud, and highway. I drive 50 miles a day at 60 mph. I hear both last to 50,000 miles as long as you rotate them every 3,000 miles.I want the one with the best MPG for all highway. I will put rancho quick lift 2.5 and RS9000xl at the same time. ( tire size 305-55-20- Nitto or 33x12.5- Toyo)
Thanks

I was in ur shoes a week ago so I went with toyo the cheaper one which still wasn't cheap...

Ever thought about getting the Toyo Open Country AT2?

Thanks guys, no cant do AT tires, dead set on the two.

How do they ride, what is your mpg?

They ride real well I haven't tested them offroad yet. But highway couldn't ask for a better ride from a mt!

Alright. I've heard mixed things about the Toyo's, but thats what I settled with as well. I think they look bad*** :thumbup:

Is your mpg bad as in under 12.5?

My mpg has went up to 13 from 11-12 I had 35in coop stt's now I have these 33/12.50r20

I don't have mine on yet because i'm waiting on wheels. I assume mine will be bad due to the weight though.

Well good I wish I could lift however I have 3.55 and I don't think that would work. I would do a lift but idk if that would work

this is choice basically between looks and preferance. they are both awsome tires and i have seen both do things that many would call imposible. i personally like the toyos better out of the two. but i wouldnt ever trade my bfg's for either!

Km2? ^

Going up in size + going to a MT is going to drop your mileage for sure...

Did you have your speedo corrected for tire size? besides the weight/mass of a larger tire you will also read slower so the MPG's are not as accurate

AT vs MT the MT will almost always have worse MPG

Allot of AT tires are better in Snow then MT's. Snow is a completely different animal then mud.

I'm excited to see how my mpg's will look with some 20x12 wheels.

Thanks!
Yes I will get the speedo fixed with a edge tuner, my MPGs suck like 10 as it sits I don't drive it ( have a car for the moment to drive) I will be driving it as stated next month. I need either plugs or coils BAD! So basically anything above ten is great! Which one is Best in the snow I know they aren't great.
Thanks again

I have nitto trails and I love them and instead to replace with the same tire. They ride super smooth in town and hoghway. But when off road dig nicely and catch traction quick mine are even at 20%. And they are quiet on the highway.

Thanks for the info
What is your MPG? Did you get good wear, how many miles? Do they chip your paint I don't want flares however I love ( as I am sure you do) my silky black paint!

Me two as you will get them before me most likely!

My personal favorite out of every tire i have had are hankook dyna pro AT's

Never drove the MT's of them but from people I know / online they are just as good. The AT's in the snow were miles ahead of my TSL's

To the guy who said the Nitto trails are quiet... what are you comparing them too? Granted all my experience with them were on diesel trucks... but they certainly not quiet. Although I have had louder tires then them.

I will look them up thanks!

I've had my wheels paid for since February and I'm still waiting....

Ill never buy another nitto tire. My set of mad graps lasted around 25k miles and that was with rotating them regularly. I didn't have my trail graps for 6 months before I had one blow a belt or some kind of internal damage and form a giant lump in it. I actually found the tire was out of round when I rotated them and the bad tire got on the front. Drove it no more than 10 miles and it destroyed a tire rod end. Got it alleged. Still shaking horribly, swapped the tires back and it fixed it. Called nitto they told me to take it to a dealer, took it to two and the both said I would have to buy a new tire while the bad one is shipped off

yes sir :thumbsup:

Bad set I guess dang!

The low mileage out of Nitto's is very common. Google it. Biggest complaint about the tire is short life.

ehh it can be expected with almost all mud tires. if its an aggressive tread its gunna wear fast. sadly thats just kinda how it is.

I pulled 45k out of TSL's on my diesel even towing heavy with them.

Personally it depends on what the vehicle is doing for what tires I pick. the tires on my car would be lucky to see 7k ;)

Michelin LX2 have a 70,000 mile warranty if all you want is miles ;) talk about the least aggressive looking tire you can find though :D

they do do every bit of that though.

Thanks!

I have some Nitto Trails and love them. Sure there is a little road noise but nothing that I expected. I don't even complain about it because it's so minimal. And the looks of the tires are so worth all the compliments that I get. And yes, your mileage will drop because of the big ol heavy tire that your putting on. I have an Evo, and it makes all the difference in the world. Everywhere I go, strangers ask about my rim/tire combo. I did a ton of research and read that people were not getting a lot of miles out of the MT's, so ended up getting the Trails. We had a couple of descent snow falls this year and this tire was freakin awesome in it. This pic is of a smaller snow fall, but we did just get 15" of snow the other day, it was awesome performer in the snow. I haven't hit the mud trails yet, but I feel confident that these tires will work great!!

I have 373 gears and do a lot of city driving or in traffic but according to my bully dog and truck both say about 14 combined. Not bad for how much I'm in the city plus I'm not the nicest to if. The image idk for sure bought the truck with them on it but I've had it for almost 10 k miles now and they don't look like they have really worn at all. As far as chipping I have notices any at all. And I love to do burn outs and doughnuts in the dirt and gravel. It's exactly what buster said the more aggressive the tread the faster they will wear out. These are a pretty good combination or looks performance and actual drivability IMO. I highly recommend them and according to the tire they are made in America so that's cool to me.

Thanks that helps a ton!

Ya every here I go between my bumper and tire wheel combo people constantly compliment and look at my truck. They other day I was walking back to my truck and some couple the goes is that your? It's a really beautiful truck, I really like how it's set up. Always getting attention from people.

Nice I have 3.55 so I should get better MPGs
Thanks for the help

From what I see your truck has a great stance and I love your paint, however if you go black you never go back!
Hahaha

That was for the guy with the gray paint

Haha ya I love black paint. Ya it sucks to take care of but whatever looks beauty is pain. Plus I have all black leather interior so it's awesome. I I love how much truck sits. One day it will get a lift but I have one other big project before anything else

Nice! Big project ?

I try to keep it nice

If you have decided yet , I'm running 33"x12.5" Toyo open country mt , I get 18mpg on the highway , my tires are at 6/32nd and still very minimal road noise and I find its good in snow mud and hwy but not good on ice, but that's expected with a mt tire

Ya in strapping twins to my truck. I'm saving for them but they might get sidelined. I'm gonna do breaks and stereo around Xmas time then next year 4:56 gears to prepare for 35" tires. And then if all works well ill buy the twins around late next year or soon after that. After that the list is long but that stuff is short term. My hope thought is I still have a couple years left in my tires. I haven't hit the wear bars yet so that's a good thing.
Plus I'm gonna do a body swap to the newer style.

Thanks guys could I run a 35 with 3.55 gears

You can. But I wouldn't if it was my truck. If you do just expect bad gas mileage and really low power.

Thanks

Man a body swap!!! Haha I was thinking about it but then you see a lot less built 04-08 f150s so I'm just keeping my body and putting the money in long travel.

I want long travel so Ill do that eventually probably instead of the lift. I just don't like the prerunner look that much anymore. Maybe it's because I live in so cal and see fake ones constantly. So I want a stock look. But beast performance.

There's really no way to get around the prerunner look with long travel. Fiberglass fenders are a must. I'm in the same boat tho, there are a lot of posers around here. I'm trying to find a way to make a sleeper prerunner but with wide fenders its turning out almost impossible.

Thought about tubbing the wheel wells. It works for low riders when they drag frame. I'm gonna go with fiber works I think because if I do pre runner I want to one piece front end. The biggest tire ill run is a 35 I know most run 37 though. My other problem is I love my fat tires and am keeping them so I have to figure that one out.

Yeah I've seen there one pieces. Not really my style so I'm having glassworks unlimited hook me up because they're only 30min away from my house. I'm gunna run 37's and crank the coils up so that ill have no contact issues I hope. What do you mean by fat tires.

Do you guys know we're I can get a clear bra for the quarter panels or behind the wheels to prevent chips?

Nope mine had plastic pieces there.

I have a 12.5 in wide tire. Most I see look thinner more like a 9in. Ya and as far as the body I'm not completely sold on who I want. I have no opinion on any one yet.

So they make like a spray on our what? I need them! Can you share a picture of the plastic pieces you have?

Oh yeah I got you. I've been talking to my buddy who has a long travel taco and he said that 12.5 wide tires will be okay but there will most likely be contact issues on the fenders. I'm gunna get 10.5 wide tires just to be safe.

I think this is what you talking about. This is what I have. Most the 150s I see have them. Maybe I miss understood you.

Cool, ya if its too bad ill shrink the tire but if I don't have to I'm not going to. As long as it doesn't rip my fender off haha. That's another reason though I'm more leaning to the muiti piece front end. I can replace pieces not the whole thing.

Yea I want one for this area


Attachment 208159

Thanks

So you want it up on the body panel? But that plastic piece sits on the button of where you circled. With what I have not i don't have any problems with chipping. In fact those areas don't have any chips on them, dirty but no chips. But that's me. If all else fails I bet a vinyl shop would custom cut you some pieces to put where ever you want. Most rocks unless thrown from something else won't get past that piece unless you have a tire that sticks way out.

Yes I want to keep that area from getting chipped. I think that is a good idea, do you think window tent would work lol I wish there was a vinyl shop in tn

Might but Idk how well it would hold up. Try it. Order a roll of vinyl I'm sure there is a website to order a small amount.

Will do!

Reopened how many miles should I get out of each tire?

are you talking about the Toyo? Mine are supposed to last 48k, and the AT2 was supposed to last 33% longer but Toyo said in a press conference it was either 55k or 65k

I am running 37x14x20 TOYO AT, couldn't ask for a better tire. When people are saying a 12.5 inch tire is a wide tire it is not that wide. I ran a 33x12.5 on my old Tacoma, a 14in wide tire is a wide tire.

Just got my Toyo M/T and I love them so far. Nice little him while driving.

Nitto trail??
