Default Toyo Open Country M/T vs. BFG MT T/A KM2

I need four new tires. Trying to decide between the Toyo Open Country M/T and the BFG MT KM2. Trying to get a list going of the pros and cons of each tire. I think either tire would look good on my 22'' rims. I use my H2 as my daily driving vehicle, so I'm particularly concerned about road noise and tire wear.
From personal experience or reviews you've read, anyone have a preference between either tire? Please explain why, if you don't mind.

Thanks!

At 67,000 I replaced my stock BFG AT 35s with BFG MT 37s. I'm at 97,000 now and probably have another 10-15,000 left on them. I'll be replacing them before winter just in case, but will hold on to them as spares. I'm replacing them with another set as I'm very pleased with their performance and look.

The road noise when new is little more than the ATs, but they seem to get louder as they wear.

The Toyo's are the Better pick for your application. Toyos are MUCH quieter than the BFG's and have a higher speed rating. The rubber compound is harder than the BFG so they hold up better on road.

The BFG's are not siped or Grooved like the Toyos so wet traction is not as good on the BFG's.

The BFG's are softer and better on the rocks. In deep mud they are about equal to the Toyo.

BFG's Sidewalls suck and puncture alot easier then the Toyos.

I have Had BOTH of these tires and that is my opinion of them.

The BFG KM2 is a different tire than Eric has knowledge of because I know he hasn't had the KM2 on his truck. I run the KM2 on both my H2 and H3. The wear is excellent and will out perform the Toyo in longivity. Off road the KM2 tires are excellent in both rock and mud. Probably not much difference in the two tires in an off road venue but I would still give the edge in rock to the KM2. On road they are both noisy! What else would you expect from an off road performance tire. I love the hummmmmmmmm!
