Default 3 tires to choose from, which one's best???

been looking into gettin a new set of shoes for the truck bc i am completely sick of the crap gy's. I have been lookin at the toyo open country a/t, nitto tera grappler a/t, or the cooper zeon ltz. I was leanin more towards the toyo's, but then saw a picture of the cooper's and those things look awesome. Not sure how they perform and hold up though. Which one would u guys choose

i would go with the coopers. i have had them for about 4 months and they are great. they perform great in wet conditions and also they look great.

i think it depends what kind of driving you do with the truck. if you tend to go offraod more then I might go with the Toyos. but if your on the road mostly I would go with the coopers.

all three have comparable tread design. they will all perform just about the same. coopers are cheapest of the three at around $170ish a tire. nittos/toyos are a little more at around $220-$250 ( depending on where you go) ive seen some say the nittos wear fast. coopers havent really been the distance yet cause they are relativly new to the market. we have yet to see someone put a ton of miles on them but i would htink they will last a while. the toyos are great (i have them and love them) i personally want a more aggressive tire still that is road freindly and will probably go with some mickey thompson baja ATZs 35x12.5s ( want new rims tires for xmas, yes i have xmas list for next year already)

every single tire question here usually always involves the nittos/toyos. there is soo many posts on this. people need to do the search because the tire/exhaust/cai questions do get old when you see 15 of these threads a week.

The Nitto's and Toyo's are comparatively the same tire.
