Default what tire would you buy

so living in canada i have a slim selection of tires at a good prices (in my area) and shopping online shipping is ridicules,
after searching the forums i was hoping you guys can help me decide its between the toyo Open country a/t and the BFG All terain going to get them in a 275/65/R20 about a 34" tire (unless i can go wider with out modification)
or suggest a good tire
i'm leaning towards the toyo

I suspect the Toyo's would be quieter. I like the look of the BFG, but I don't think I'd like the noise. Neither would be my first choice, but that ain't what you asked.

I had a set of the the BFG's on an ol' Jeep I had years ago. I really liked them and would recommend them. I have no exp. with the Toyo's though. They both look like good tires. The BFG's I had didnt make a whole lot of noise but they were around stock size for my Jeep and were not huge.

Had a set of BFG A/Ts on a Furd diesel I had about 16 years ago. Never could get the things balanced right and they ended up cupping on me before they hit 20k miles, was finally told be shop that "BFGs don't like heavy trucks", dunno if they are any better now or not.

I have the Nitto Terra Grapps on my Jeep and so far (1 year, 12k miles) love 'em. These tires are basically Toyo Open Country A/T clones at a cheaper price (Toyo owns Nitto).

So it's kinda obvious which way I'm voting...
