I think the wrangers have a better cool factor.

Toyo M-55's, would be my choice,they are danged good,wear like iron go pretty much anywhere you need to go,especially whey you chain em up in the snow off paved roads.There's a reason you see them on just about every loggers truck / crummy bus.

Huh?We can't be talking about the same tires, I got  an average of 80 k  each on three sets now? 98% pavement beating.
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.

Make sure the tires really have the 10 plys and are not "equivalent" rated. I wont run anything less then "E" rated on my rigs again.

E rated tires are 10 ply equivalent. Unless you're running bias ply tires you won't actually have 10 plies.

As far as the Duratracs vs ATM RF10s,I'd go with whatever are less expensive. I've had the Hankooks on my truck for a couple years. My dad,brother and a buddy have Duratracs on their trucks.

They're both great tires.

M-55s are Toyo's commercial grade traction tire. They're anything but soft.

M55 have the anti chip compound, great for logging roads, so do the coopers.
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.

M55 and the Mud Terrains from Toyo are 2 completely different animals. One is made for work the other for show.  :twocents:

I'm a huge BFG fan. I've ran the old mud terrains and now the new km2 and I love them. Never had a flat and have about 45,000 on them now and they are about 50%, but I drive a Toyota so it's quite a bit lighter than you're sub. I've heard the cooper discoverer AT3's are pretty good too.
