I have 5 choices from local dealer in 255/80x17 and I have narrowed it down to the Nitto ridge grapplers (1st choice) or the less sexy Toyo A/Ts. I prefer all terrain tires for quiet ride and handling on road. I travel to remote places with heavy loads, and put my tires through the harshest conditions but do not put too many miles on them annually (no longer DD).
Wondering if someone can offer their 2 cents on experience with these 2 types of tires. I drive a mostly stock 80 series, that will be getting 4.88s soon. I know I cant really go wrong with either of these but I have concerns about the Nitto's because this tread model hasnt been around a while, and possibly too much road noise. I do not want to go with the bottom end Falkens.
Any other tires out there in this size? Not interested in widths greater than 10.50
