Here is a post I did about my Mickey Thompson Baja ATZ

Great tire. I am now running Nitto Terra Grapplers in 295/70R18 10 ply Load Range E. Haven't had a chance to take them off road, but on road they have good manners and do well in the rain.

Just remember you get what you pay for.  By far the Toyo M/T is the best tire on the market.  I worked at a tire store for 5 1/2 years and never heard a complaint about the Toyo

I just got 4 305/70/16 BFG KM2 tires delivered from Discounttire.com for $992.00 shipped to my door.  Try getting that from Les Slobs.  Toyos the same size are on sale for $1212.00 plus tax.  Toyos are good tires as long as you do not run them on a heavy truck.

Thats a crock of shiat. Toyos were designed for heavy trucks. Size for size they have the highest weight capacities on the market. The 34s on my Ram are good for 4000lbs per tire.

The Toyos are probably the single most popular tire on the Dodge diesel forums. Its rare for some one to have a complaint about them. The guys that bitch are the guys that are running 500hp and have to haze the tires at every stoplight,or the guys that are running the 1/4 mile with them.

Most Dodge guy do love them.  I am not talking weight capacity, but referring to the treadlife.  Most of the guys I know own Superdutys, and any of them that have run Toyos have not had good things to say about tire wear.  I have not run them on my truck but my brother has, he is a senior master tech at our ford dealer and has many Superduty customers that have run them with the same results.  Antlerking ran them on his Superduty and was not real happy with tread life.   On the other hand I have a friend that has a Dodge diesel that has good luck with them, but his is kinda a I-5 four wheel drive.

let me invest into toyo stocks before anyone buys a set cause you will buying a set twice a year and there stock will skyrocket   I got 13 k miles on my toyos before they were gone and that is rotating them every oil change! never again, the worst tire ever made hands down IMO! That is running them on a superduty

Have to agree. My Superduty, hated them!  I got about 15K out of them. I went back to BFG Mud Terrains.

I am looking for a set of tires for my chevy 2500 4x4.  I have had the Toyo mt but am wondering what experiences people have had with other mt's and At's.  I love the Toyo';s but they are a bit spendy. 

You get what you pay for with the Toyos. IMO,theres nothing out there that compares.

In case you didn't know,you don't have to buy them at Les Schwab. They want you to believe they're exclusive to them but they aren't. Try Discount Tire. They'll have to order them,but can have them in 2-3 days. I called Discount about a month ago for a set of Toyos. They were 30% less than at Les Schwab.

yeah with no warranty, and not all toyos are exclusive to les schwab just certain designs like the eclipse, it all depends on what you are wanting to do, what kind of terrain your driving on, how aggresive you drivethings like that

[high country]

I have never been a fan of any tire schwab promotes as they seem to sell credit as opposed to quality. I have been through a boat load of tires on all my rigs and the one I keep going back to is the bfg radial all terrain. I run a set of dura-tracs on my dmax in the winter as I got them for a song from my fleet dealer. I have never found a mud tire that was not totally scary in snow when it had more then 20k miles on it.....toyo inclusive.

It's not a crock of shiat...

I just picked up a set of 6 Bridgestone Duravis R500 at Costco for $1300. So far, love em. And they are made for heavy hauling for long periods of time. They wont wear out too fast. I had Toyo M55s on there before. Hands down, these are a better tire.

Yeah maybe for highway only. In that case you might as well go with the toyo m 54

[timberghost72]

Rotation, especially cross rotation is important on mud terrain tires. These tires are not designed for concrete driving situations with the large lugs and the contact area on the ground. Added to the fact that most 3/4 to 1 ton trucks come with shocks that are too weak which can cause wheel hop which aids in the cupping process.

I have the toyo open country tires on my 89 yota and I love them so far. Good out when your wheeling and a smooth drive when you on the pavement.

How do you know they are a better tire when you just got them?  Does the M55 you had before have the same design as this new tire?.. Comparing apples to bananas?
