Is anyone running the Toyo Open Country A/T 10ply on their diesel tow rig? I am looking at them or the Nitto Terra Grappler A/T 10ply, but I hear the Nitto's wear out fast on heavy diesel trucks?

Hankook DH01 in 245/70R 19.5 love em for carrying the weight and towing.
I have a set of Toyo Open Country AT's but, they are on a Ford Escape that I bought for my ex-wife. I can tell you that they are every bit as good as a BF Goodrich All Terrain in the snow and better in the water and on the highway. In my opinion there is not a better tire company out there for a "jack of all trades, master of none". I currently run BFG's all terrain on my 06 CTD dually in a 315/70/17 size. Good tire, I would not bag on that, just a little soft under such a heavy rig. I don't expect them to last more than 20,000 miles. When I was looking at tires I had narrowed the selection down to three tires. BFG's All Terrain, Goodyear's Wrangler MTR, and Toyo's Open Country MT. I could not afford the Goodyear or the Toyo so I was stuck with the BFG's. I now wish that I had just sucked it up and bought the Toyo's now. The saying goes if you don't have time (or money) to do it right the first time when do you have time (or money) to do it again.

More sidewall = less good.
Where did you get these? I'm thinking about them... but I need 6...
Right, but a 235/85 has about the same sidewall as a 265/75 or a 285/70

I got the wheels from Rickson and the tires from Les Schwab
I have always had good luck with the BFG's as well. This is why I have a hard time going to another brand. Tires are very expensive (especially when you have to buy six for the truck) and I don't really want to experiment with another brand that will not perform as well as the BFG's. However, in this months issue of 8-Lug Diesel there was an article about the Toyo Open Country AT's installed on a crew cab long bed CTD 4x4 that backs up my previous statement. The Toyo's are a formidable tire in the snow and with a load range E availibility they may be the next set for me. The tire also features mulitipal semi circrumfrencial groves through out the tread. This makes is do well on roads that are wet from rain. Add to that the tires do seem to last longer than the BFG's and we may have a new champ in the all terrain market for big Diesels. I do not want to take away from the BFG's, I run them with great results. I am only saying that sometimes new and untested, at least by me, may be the way to go. My next set, if I can afford the $350.00 a piece, will be the Toyo Open Country MT's in a 35 to 37 inch range.
