There is not much difference between the Toyos and Nittos, as a matter of fact, Toyo owns Nitto. Nitto was originally setup so that the plants could run 24/7 to make them more efficient and the company could pump out more product.
Nitto was setup as a lower price alternative to Toyo, so they wouldn't have to drop price on Toyo tires (which in a lot of cases, hurts a companies reputation). Problem for the consumer now is that the Nittos became so popular, that they have basically jumped the price of the Nitto tires right up there among what the Toyos sell for.
A few years ago when I put the 32" Terra Grapplers on my Jeep, I paid $127 per tire. Good luck finding them for anywhere near that now...

Cool.. I am running them at 50 right now, and I have taken a freeway drive, and around town with plenty of washboard roads that felt like the truck should skate off of, but it held its ground. My pro comps were e rated so I wasn't to concerned when these were.. I think that might be the fact why my procomps lasted so long!Originally Posted by Arctodus
When running around town, I run at 45psi, my tires are rated "E" so they can run a little stiff. When on long trips, I air up to 55 psi for better mileage and the highways are smoother than city roads. I think you will like these tires and like you, it was a toss up between these and the Toyos.

I thought I heard they were together. My friend has the toyos on his 2500, and these trails were in stock so ultimately that is why I got these. Because I didn't want to order tires and wait any longer. Originally Posted by HammerZ71

I bought some Terra's for my ranger the year they came on the market, and they sure did go up in price when people realized they were good tires!

I also have the Trail Grapplers(295/70/17). Love them and honestly the next set I get I will be getting the same size as you. I usually run the tires at 50 psi all the way around.
