Disadvantages:
Nitto is a "D" rated tire (less sidewall)
Nitto is 1" Narrower (smaller footprint)



SO... just depends on your goals.
That is in the 37" size. For the 35's that the OP is looking for, they're both the same width and sidewall rating.

My vote goes to the Nitto trail grapplers. My next set will be in the 37 variety as well.

Although i have thought of 38s, to actually have a 37

Really every 3,000? I thought 6,000-7,500 was a good time. I just got Toyo Open Country AT. I hope they last for a while.
