I am stuck between the Nitto Mud grappler 35x12.5xR20 and the Toyo Open Country M/T 35x12.5xR20. I have read that the mud grapplers wear down fast and are pretty loud. I have not really heard anything bad about the open country m/t. The nittos are a hair cheaper. My truck is a pavement queen never sees any off road action. Which tire looks better? Which should I get? Do I need any kind off wheel spacers or anything like that or can I just throw them on my rim and enjoy? Any pics with either on a 20" rim?

 

on stock rims for both you will need spacers 12.50 you will be rubbing all day . and i would also get some flairs unless you like rock chips . if its a pavement queen none of the tires are right for you , stick with a AT tire . i had grapps on ol red hated them but they did well in the mud . to loud wear down to soon . for pic of them look at the totm sticky its the first one .

 

I don't think these are even 2 comparable tires. The MGs look BAD A$$, IMO. But like you said they are super loud, like a B-1 Bomber flying right above you. The Toyos are awesome tires, all around. They ride good, they look good, they wear good, and they are quiet. So basically, the only thing I think the MGs have on the Toyos is looks. I say go with the Toyos.

 

Well speaking from experience, I got the nitto mud grapplers on right now…I absolutely love them, they are loud but I new that before buying them, but I do see dirt roads and mud most weekends, so I can justify having them. If you only see pavement Id probably go with the toyos. Not as loud and more road friendly I hear. But hey its up to you. I don’t think you can really go wrong either way you go, both are a great tire.

 

The toyos are a street tire that is good in the mud. The nitto is a mud tire. If that gives you an idea haha. I have the toyo's and I love them, the nitto is a little better in the mud, but in all other ways than looks, the toyo is better. You will get much more life out of a set of toyos as well.

 

Toyo M/T is comparable to the Nitto Trail Grappler M/T. As mentioned before, they arent even in the same class as the Mud Grapps. For your driving habits, go with the Toyo or look at the trail grapps

 

The Nitto trail grapplers look a lil more aggressive than the Toyo MTs but arnt as loud/better wear than the Mud Grapps...look at those

EDIT: gaa AF, you musta hit that right before me

 

toyos no doubt, or trail grapplers for a better price

 

+1 on Toyo's. Great tires.

 

i have mud graps and as mentioned before they are loud as hell. i wheel just about every weekend and they are monsters in the muck. best lookin mud tire out there imo. although i hate to say that i will not get these again as id like to hold a conversation in my truck without yellin at the other person. im prolly gettin them trail graps next. just my .02 broski
