Can't decide on a tire

I want to put some 31s on my P/U and I can't decide between the Toyo Open Country A/T II and the BF Goodrich All Terrain K/O. Both have a pretty good warranty and say they are both good for on and off road. Which one would you choose and why?

It's just going to make it harder to decide what ones you want

Of the three I like the looks of the Goodyear's best and the BF Goodrich the least. However, the good years only have a 50000 mile warranty and they are more expensive compared to the Toyos 65000.

I think I'll most likely end up getting the Toyo A/T II tires. They have the best warranty and the best price. ($155 a piece from 4wheel parts) But it will be a while before I end up buying so I may end up changing my mind.

Not sure about the Toyo AT's but the MT's have good traction till about 50% tread left then they seem to have a reputation for being hard. And that should reduce traction in theory. So I maybe I might suggest the bfg's or goodyears. Look at tirerack.com for price. Usually discount tire will match the price once shipping is included. And you can get the road hazard protection.

I run 35" Toyo M/T's and can say that they do REALLY well on dirt, gravel, and especially MUD. Won a local mudbog running them.

My cousin runs the Goodyear Wranglers year round on a 1 ton and they last a loooonnng time. Excellent traction too!

The Toyo A/T's didnt hold up as well as the Goodyear Wranglers, but they did grip really well!

I would say for big dirty boots go with Toyo M/T's though!!

For the occasional off road user A/T's are just fine. If you plan to do any sort of serious off roading M/T's are the way to go.
