I have had the Nitto TG in a 35 - great tire on and off road. Recently went up to a 37 and went with toyo because i wanted a 13.50 wide tire. I haven't had it off road yet, but on road they are awesome…i would say better than the TG with regards to ride and noise…..not that you want to make a decision based on "look" of the tire but they are so close in performance you may want to take that into consideration (along with price) I personally like the look of the TG a little more….that said that is all preference…i think most people actually like the look of the toyo more….
Cant go wrong with either tire in my opinion…I have been very happy with both.

I ran the 33in KM2's for about 2yrs on my YJ and really liked them a lot. When I got this '08, it came with 37in MT/R's. Only had it for a little over a month, but the ride is really good and the only sound I hear is the outside noise cause I've got my softtop on, no whistling or whining. There are a few guys and gals in our club that are running the KM2's in 33's and 35's and have been for quite some time. Hope this helps a bit.

Duratracs, in my opinion the best a/t tire made. There quiet, they wear great, they perform off-road better than most pure off road tires and work as good in wet conditions as a street tire.

I've seen a few post here and there of people that like the toyo mt more than the km2.
I have the Toyo MT as well and on road they drive great. Don't even know you're on a mud terrain really. Off road outstanding performance. My friend with the trail grapplers no longer wants them because I pull through what he can't.
We also run the trail grapplers on all our work trucks at work and I no longer liked them much after I've been using them for the past year in comparison to the toyos.
Good luck with your decision.
