re: Toyo Open country RT vs Nitto Ridge Grappler

They're all quiet when new. I had duratracs and loved them. But, at half tread these tweener AT's have the mannerisms of a MT with less pull. Weight and fuel mileage is more comparable to a MT as well. Something to think about when shopping for these.

The new cooper AT's might be a better fit and significantly less. They look pretty aggressive too with the sidewall change.
