AT3 are what my bro uses on his F350 service truck on logging roads he says they are comparable to the M55 in his book but cheaper. He runs his F350 at MAX capacity 100% of the time.
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

I'm on my 2nd set of Hankook DynaPro AT. 285x70x17 Load range "E" $810 from Discount Tire delivered to my door.
These are great summer tires.

I know jack about Hankook.  I ran Duratrac on my superduty.  I love them.  Snow traction is the best you can have short of chains/studs.  Wet they are also good.  Dry slight hum and grippy.  Wore very well, 50k is reasonable.  Off road they did just fine except wet clay of course.  Tough, no flats.  Loaded or with camper on they were fine.  E rated 10ply.  Only issue is the first few hundred miles they drive a little funny until broke in.  I put em on rough stuff and gave em heck and had no chips or gouges.  Paid about 1050$ at Discount. 285/75/16.  Few years ago.  Wish I could run them on the Dodge.
MAGA!  Again..

I have the Duratrac 315/75R16 on my 2003 Yukon XL and really like the tire.  I do a lot of driving in the mountain roads and snow and mud, and they do great.  The weekend I put them on I drove 1500 miles on the hiway and they run pretty quite.  just my  :twocents:

I know that the gold mine pickups over here run Goodyears with the Kevlar in them and have really good reviews from the drivers.

Yeah I got an F 350  diesel with an aluminum dog box on top that weighs 1000 pounds and  rides on it  365 for the last 12 years.I was just asking the simple question of  us comparing apples and oranges between the radial all terrain and the softer compound mudder tire.
I agree the toyos are awsome BBBBUUUTTTT wear like iron???? huh.they are an awsome tire because they are very soft they wear very quick on pavement.

M-55s are Toyo's commercial grade traction tire. They're anything but soft.
Yours and theyre op is fine with me but i still say they are to soft,speed rating low in my op basically 10 over the speed limit for a reason.if you get an average of 80 k thats great.but does your rig weigh 7k-8k pounds?Like i said your op is fine just giving my own if you dont like my op,turn the page.
