Toyo Open Country M/T vs General Grabber X3

Both are Q-rated mud-terrain tires with 21/32 inch tread, so they are close on paper. The Toyo Open Country M/T is the classic hard-core mud tire: owners praise its grip in deep mud and rock and its tough sidewalls, but it is loud and heavy on pavement. The General Grabber X3 is a more livable mud-terrain, with a slightly softer ride and better road manners, and it is the easier choice for a truck that sees daily driving. Buy the Toyo for serious off-road abuse; buy the General for a mix of trail and street.

• Choose the Toyo Open Country M/T if you spend most weekends in deep mud, rock or loose dirt and accept a loud, stiff ride on pavement.
• Choose the General Grabber X3 if your truck is a daily driver that hits trails on weekends and you want a quieter, more comfortable mud-terrain.
