Toyo Open Country A/T 2's or Nitto Terra Grappler G2

Hey guys,

I recently got a 2016 Tacoma TRD Sport 4x4 and am looking to put off road tires on stock 17s. I have been reading up on 2 tires and am looking for your input. Right now I am leaning towards the AT2's for price and warranty but I wanted to hear your take.

I mostly do highway but here and there i go off-roading and up to the snow.

LMK I am gonna pull the trigger today.

THANKS

 

Looking at these same two myself. The research I've done points to the Toyo's..

 

Which are you leaning towards?

 

They are both good tires. I would get the Toyo myself though.

 

I went with the Toyo AT2 P265/70-17 and very happy so far. Rides as smooth as the OEM tires and so far no noticeable change in mileage.

 

Did you keep the rims stock? Going for the aggressive look (as aplus) until I can switch them out

 

Yes, stock rims. As Toyo does not have a C rated tire in this size, I went with the P-metric. I don't do much off-road and purchased mainly for snow and occasional dirt/trail if hunting.

 

do you have a picture how the new tires look on the truck?

 

I like my G2s....

 

I have the toyo's they are incredibly light for their size which means better MPG, they handle decent, slip on occasion, but they are backed by a 60000 mile warranty. Wasnt a fan of my Nitto Trail Grapplers on my 2011.

 

Here are a few shots

 

I switched to Toyos, quiet, excellent traction, no mpg loss.

 

OEM size? Pics?

 

Yes, oem 265/70 r16

 

I've been real happy with my g2s. No noticeable increase in noise. Traction has been great, and they have a 65k warranty. Think I paid $205/tire from discount (285/70-17 size)

 

G2s worked great in the snow yesterday. No complaints. Great tires great price. Discount tire direct eBay special. $620 shipped.

 

I was told by KalTire that Nitto and Toyo are one in the same. I don't imaging there's much difference in the tires, but then I could be wrong.

 

they are even recalled together - makes me think there's a lot of overlap in manufacturing.

Where did you get your grill at?

 

Ordered from my dealer. It's an SR, couldn't live with the orignal Chrome garbage. Cost was $350 and sold the chrome for $225.
