Toyo or Maxxis? ?

I need new tyres so can I get some opinions on if I should go with Toyo Open Country A/T or Maxxis AT700? There is only a $30 difference in price & the tread pattern looks the same. Thanks

They are both great tyres , most of my customers got around 80-90k with the Toyo as long as it is the LT rating , the Maxxis a bit less
The Toyo have a very straight shoulder that can tram line a bit more that the Maxxis , but then the Maxxis belly out a lot more so can be more inclined to get sticks etc into the sidewalls , it depends on what roads you drive on
