Well since im going with the Toyo's friday, you should get the Nittos, and we could do a comparison over the next 6 months-a year of the two. and since we both live in jersey our driving habits should be similar. plus we could meet up for a day of wheelin and compare them off-road!

nitto is made/owned by toyo, but from what ive heard the nittos are "softer" and will wear faster and have more sway/flex. im not saying thats true, thats what ive heard from doing reviews on them both.

That is a good idea and we will all give you moral support while yall do the test for us. We will expect data charts and weekly picture updates, plus a video of the off roading test!

I think this will work out well for us in the future when people ask this question as to which is better.
