Don't have experience with the Toyo, but the BFG AT/KO is one the BEST tires on the market. I have had them once, and bought them based on a friend/mechanic's suggestion.

Normally in most cases I say go BFG all the way, but my first questions are what type of truck are you putting them on and what size are you looking at?
They don't always wear very well on some trucks.

FWIW-
At least BFG is a semi-American company.
BFG certainly has many more outlets where you could get a replacement tire- especially if you're on the road. Toyo has been popular over the last few years which has led to some significant shortages. What would you do if you damaged a tire and the replacement was on a 120 day back order?

I have a 2002 f-350 with goodyear mtr 315s on it now, so what ever tire i choose it will be a 315 tire again you guys make alot sense about a long lead time for a replacement tire never thought of that before.

I put Toyo AT 305/50/20 on my F250. Thry exceded the load rating of the BFG that came on the truck. They look great and ride even better. No road noise. I would buy them again in a heartbeat.
