Friend had the MT's on a full size ford. Sucked in the snow/ice
You dead set on Toyo's? Much better brands out there..IMO
I'm not dead set on Toyo's but I have had fantastic experiences with them on all my rides. I am probably looking at 285/70 on 17.
I just switched from MT's to RT's when I bought new ones after 70 on the MT's. Both work well in the snow but the RT's seem superior in the snow and especially the ice in my opinion. WAAAAAAAYYY quieter. The RT's are an upgrade in my experience. Not in the mud but everywhere else. I have 3/4 ton diesel dodge towing sleds and stuff and lots of snow time. Well, not this year..
Had a set of mt on a duramax.... and my Tacoma came with a set of toyo mt.Snow, ice, sand, they suck! Even with 5psi. Plus is they look good, and last a long time.
I just put wheels and tires on my 2015 trd sport double cab. 265/70r17 is as big/wide as you can go without leveling or lift. I went with the At2s and they look and ride great.

Funny thing about tires is that people buy what they WISH they needed but not what they do. Most people would do great with some A/T and a set of link chains but most people buy M/T despite the fact they mostly pound pavement. MOST people dont drive 50/50 on/ off road so they should buy an A/T and chains. unless your a logger or farmer then that may change. If your a logger then your likely a die hard toyo M 55 fan and i can't say i blame you... LOTs of your fellow loggers agree. IMO if a was a generic hunter that liked to offroad a bit id get the M55... IMO its kind of like the old BFG mud terrain. the best compromise between off road performance and street wear....

IMO its kind of like the old BFG mud terrain. the best compromise between off road performance and street wear....I have factory Goodyear Wranglers (OEM) on my F-150, and they truly are garbage. 3 failures in 20k miles. Granted, they are "P" rated, 4-ply tires (have to expect tire splits on sharp rocks, right?). Thus, I, too, need to look for better tires. I absolutely hate to get flat tires in the mountains!
The wider the tire, the worse they are in any driving conditions, right Special T ?
Thanks, You gotta love them. I love American made products, but something about those Tacoma's.......
"Visual" means nothing but image.
