I would prefer the Toyo's, but they are wide in larger sizes. I am very happy with the Nitto's (a Toyo brand) performance, even in the nasty wet conditions we had in Moab last week. The 9-10" tread width works well for the type of wheeling and the terrain that I see, just looking for something taller to make more room/clearance under my rig and improve the trail ride.

If Terra Grapplers or Toyo's were available in 325/80R16 or 37/12.5R16 they would be on my junk. A wider tire has more fitting issues, causes more drag and I don't see any advantage for the type of wheeling that I do.
