You are comparing apples and oranges...The Duragrappler is a HTR tire (Highway Terrain Tire), the Open Country A/T is well, an A/T...Two way different tires...Toyo has a HTR tire that is comparable to the Duragrappler, its actually built with the same carcass, just a different tread layed on it...same with the Toyo and Nitto MT's and AT's, the same but different...If yo uare towing all the time, Duragrapplers, if your driving alot, A/T's...

Out of the two, go with Toyo's. I love my ProComp's though. They are aggressive looking but still a streetable tire.

This is Nitto's. So obnoxiously loud!!

You will hear the same thing from any mud tire on a roller. Big freakin' surprise there!

OTOH tho, I've heard alot of complaints about Procomps.

all have to say is, just get a load range e tire. who ever/whatever tire you get. i have tried load range d and e. and the d range tires alway cone/cup on the edges.

i have tried diffrent pressures in the tires. alignment shocks. i just think its the weight of the truck.


goodluck

FWIW, I ran Toyo M/T's on my Land Cruiser for two years and I will never, ever buy another Toyo again. I hated these tires with a passion! Now, I know that I was using them in a totally different arena but I was less than impressed in every situation.

toyo a/t are awesome. i love mine. everyone hates on me for my "street" tires and then they ride in my truck and want them. they are quiet but they still have amazing traction in the snow and sand. i havent run the nittos but i heard they dont last as long as the toyos.

I love my Toyo A/Ts, I ran the Nittos before the Toyos and I got about 17K miles on them. My Toyos are coming up on 24K and they still have alot of tread left on them

I would also suggest Toyo. I have heard good and bad things about Nitto. Definitely get a load range E though if you are going to tow. As for the tire size I run 35" and I can keep up 1700 rps in 6th gear unloaded easy and I also have 3.73 gears. I think you will be fine 35" or less. Course maybe I have no place in this thread. I run Cooper tires and love them to death. Mine are snow tires but they are quieter on the road than a friends BFG KO's in my opinion. Expensive as a mother though.
