I Run the toyo Mud terrains on my 01' Tacoma.  Absolutely love them, they are quiet on the road and they rock offroad.  I just rolled 40k and they have 50% tread left on them.  Personally I dont thing there is a better tire on the market.

I'll second the Toyo MT's, I just rolled 55k on them and they still have adequate tred. I will be getting some new ones before the end of summer though to make sure I'm ready for fall. There a great tire off road and are quiet on the road...They do spray alot of mud though, but mine are slightly off set.

you cant go wrong with any toyo that you buy. I have had a couple different sets of them and they are the *censored*. Lots of miles if you take care of them. But that is true with any tire. The best set of tires i have ever had though were bfg open trail or something like that and i got 55K out of them with out rotating them once. But they were between an all terrain and a hi way tire.

I had toyo Wildcats on my old hunting truck, and those mothers were so sticky and soft, they would pick up sharp rocks, and you would pound them home on your next few revolutions and you have a flat. I got three flats in them, and finally had Les Schwab eat them and set me up with the open country, much harder rubber... (a few years ago......)

I've been running the bridgestone dueler A/T Revo in a 10 ply and have done really well with them. 60,000 miles with about 20k of that on logging roads and the only flat I've had was a screw. I haul a lot of wood and bear feed and used to have problems with Toyo's as soon as you got to half tread and rocks started pushing through. I still have another  two months or so on these and will definitely get the same thing. $1100 for the set mounted.

I have Toyo Mt's on my powerstroke, I got them last year while I was scouting Elk and they have performed well, allthough I couldn't tell you if my milage has changed I haven't wanted to check since Diesel has been over 3.80+ a gallon! The day I pulled tmike out of the ditch with a few inches of snow on the ground in Idaho he made a b-line to town and bought himself a set too! I was impressed how well they did in the snow, and hauling my camper has never been better!

Have Open Country Toyo A/T's on my 1 ton Ford suburban....second set.  First set went over 63k and still had decent thread left.  Probably could have gotten another 5-7 k out of them.  New set has approximately 10k and still essentially look brand new.  Of course I religiously rotate every 5k.  Great tires...quiet onroad and good performance off road.

My 06 chevy had the Bridgestone duelers on it stock. Crap tires. I got two flats with rocks right thru the tread.
50k, just got new open country Toyos, after last week I can say they are far better in mud/snow than the bridgestones ever were. I went for 10 ply. hope they last well.

I have Toyo M55 on the F350 Dually. Ride good, do not bulge under load, and are easy to balance. They wear good too.  8)

I know alot of loggers that switch to the M55,s in the winter they say they are the best tire made. I personally have tried the Toyo A/T and currently have Copper Discover ST much better than the STT better traction than the Toyo A/T and M/T. They do awesome on pavement no road noise, they work good in gravel and dirt, unlimited grip in mud and I have never once broke loose in snow or ice. And the best part is I bought them because they were the cheapest traction tire on the market at the time. I am a poor college student.
