for all intents and purposes those are pretty much the exact same tire. even the tread patterns are almost identical. it's a coin toss dude IMO.

Id probably lean toward the Toyos myself.

What wheels are you putting them on? If you have nice wheels, take a serious look at using balancing beads instead of hammer on wheel weights:

Once you start using these things, youll never go back to the hammer on wheel weights.

Correct, they are the same tire just diiferent branding. From my understanding one goes out the left door the other the right, (not literally)

However my buddy had a set of the Toyo's and they wore for chit, he had them rotated as recommended, and Discount Tire swapped them for BFGs after a year.

I have Toyo's and like them I have had Nitto's and liked them also. All things equal I go with the Nitto's.

The only thing is, if you have a flat or need the break the bead for any reason, its best to have some extra sets of beads on hand.
