Toyo M55s. They aren’t cheap. I’ve ran them for hmmmm 25+ years now. 3 different Dodges and one Ford. It’s what the loggers use(d) almost exclusively. I think they are the best of the best.
We have been happy with the Toyo AT. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
In the last 5 years I've run cooper stt's, toyo mt's, and falken wildpeak at3w's. Not even considering price the Falkens are my top choice out of the 3, so if you factor in value its the falkens by a mile for me. Toyo,s are hands down the worst.
I really liked my BFG all terrain TA's when they were newer. As they've worn I find myself spinning trying to climb hills on the logging roads. They don't do so well on the loose gravel.YMMV.

Flip a coin between Nitto Ridge Grappler or Cooper Discoverer ST Maxx. BFG All Terrain is a good choice, unless you drive lots of gravel, these throw gravel pretty bad. Toyo M-55 is very durable and a good choice too, IMO it's noisier than the others listed.

My brother has the Nitto ridge grappler and is happy with them but I didn’t want the same tire he has. The m-55’s don’t come in my size. Probably the next one that I would consider was picked on here was the Falken wildpeak.

They wore like iron. It was the shiz dizzle. Toyo then changed rubber compoundand it they didn't get the life out of them like before. Now that being said, still one of the best on the road.
I got the tires and have a initial review already. I went in the wet heavy snow and they went good until the belly started dragging too much, so traction was great. They are slightly louder than the wild country they replaced but not enough to be a problem. Here’s what I don’t like, they seem like they are all over the road, like they roll on the sidewalk or something. Not sure what I’m going to do about that yet.

m55,s are super tough if your gonna be in rock but with the hard rubber dont provide the best traction , the firestone revos are a good mix and the leswabb house brand snow tire is a great tire and provides great ice traction though it plugs up in mud . i can honestly say i'm never buying another toyo though. if your looking for a mud tire the bf goodrich mt would be a good choice imo . i like a shorter life span tire with better traction.
If you plan on driving in snow and ice, the M55 Open Countrys are HORRIBLE tires. They don't wear well. I owned them on my F150 and got rid of them. They are too hard of a tire unless you like wasting a lot of money on hype or very expensive name brands...

Funny how folks have complete opposite opinions. Ive staked my life many times on these tires and I wont hesitate to do so in the future. From Methow Winters to Colville Reservation roads and North Idaho roads, and now to the Yakima Basalt and routine trips on the firing center which often eats tires like candy. I commute 50 miles everyday now in the ice belt. Toss in a roadtrip to Utah, Eastern ORegon or Montana, WTH. I drive in some serious crap. lol It must just be my driving skills.
