They were really soft. Even to the touch they were noticeably softer. This wasn't necessarily bad, the ride felt great.

My real issue with them is they slipped and slided all the time. Light gravel patches around turns would treat them like a banana on Mario Cart. They were untrustworthy on wet pavement. Once they ran their lifetime (about 70k) I swapped back to the Nittos I won't look at them again.
That's interesting. I hadn't ever heard a negative review on the Toyo, but I have read tons of negative reviews on the Nitto over the years. Here's where it really gets weird: Nitto is an "off brand" of Toyo Tire Corporation. Sort of like how Mickey Thompson, Mastercraft, Hercules, etc. are all off brands of Cooper Tire.

So, one would think that if the secondary brand (in this case Nitto) is fantastic, then the tier above that tire in the lineup (Toyo) would be even better.

It's always neat to get various opinions of tires on the internet. It just goes to show that what works for one guy doesn't always work for the next.

A lot of those reviews is what I'm going off of like many others having no experience myself....I have been curious about the cheaper AT tires like those mastercraft's and Hercules tires and wondering how much real world differences there would be compared to how much is just noise....saving a good chunk of money is important to most of us

Take a look at the Cooper AT3 XLT. Runs better on and off road plus 60k warranty
