This morning I actually was at Discount Tire and they put on new 37x12.50x18 BFG KM2's on my 07 Ram 2500. Replaced the same size tire except they were Toyo MT's. The Toyos realistically have at least another year left on them, I just got kind of itchy and wanted some new ones. My dad got 60,000 out of his last set of Toyo MT's in a 35. He replaced with the BFG's too just because Discount has about the best prices around.

Anyone looking for a good set of Toyo 37x12.50x18's Im listing them now on CL for $400 or trade. Not too bad of a deal being that they are almost $550 each to go buy new.

I ran 37x12.5x17 Toyo Open Country Mt's on my 2001 F-350 diesel and i got 55,000 on one set and i had 40,000 plus on the other set when i traded the truck in. I have 35x12.5x18 open country Mt's on my new truck and they seem to be wearing well. I recommend getting any tire you buy siped they seem to last longer when siped in my opinion. If you are siping a set of Mt's they recommend that you only sipe the inside treads. That's my

I too love the Toyo MTs.  About syping though, my son works at a local dealership and he tells me that syping does not increase decrease tire wear or traction in a measureable amount. On ice, syping is the only benefit that I am aware of.

Also, if you use your truck to hunt, the gravel roads will eat a syped tire pretty quickly. I learned that the hard way.

I also run the Toyo MT's on my 3500 Dodge Dually.  I get about 50,000 miles however I am normally pulling a 16,000 lb gooseneck.  You may pay more for the Toyo's but the service and locations from Les Schwab are worth that to me.

Have you ever tried a factory siped tire?

No, syped at the dealer. Must be a difference?

M/Ts are good tires but horrible in the snow, syped or not. I wore mine out at 60,000 miles and won't buy them again. Way over priced too.

[MuleySniper]

Yeah mine sucked in the snow too, but I wouldn't complain getting 60,000 out of a mud terrain tire on a full size truck. If guys are really concerned about getting the best ride and longest wear, buy AT's. Whenever you put a mud terrain on any vehicle, you typically will pay more and not get the best ride and wear. More of an aesthetic thing anyway.

No kidding. I bought Hankooks this time.

35" toyo on my dodge diesel, do great in the snow, but ya gotta air down.  Tow my snowmobile trailer in the snow all the time.   There is no tire on the planet that will do good in snow aired way up like you need them for driving on the hiway or hauling stuff, gotta air down to go in the snow.

[predatorpro]

as the only TIA certified guy on here lol i run hankook dynapro at on my dodge diesel, 295 70 17 and they are awesome, i use to have 35 1250 17 toyo mt on a bronco and they were great in the mud and thats it, not impressed in the snow, and being an open shoulder tread design you really need to stay on top of rotating them if you want them to last, they arent a bad tire tho if you like to spend big bucks, just depends what you want to do on them, i dont suggest siping your tires on a diesel, they tend to really want to open up too much and will chunk out bad when driving off road, if you truck stay on pavement all the time it u might get away with it but i dont think its worth the money for the application you would use them in

I have several buddies that run the 37x12.5x16.5 Military Goodyear Humvee tires  on one ton rigs cheve fords and dodges. Great wear and traction for most users  that are 70% on road 30% off road. Expensive brand new bu can be had used for reasonable.

I disagree with all of you that say the Toyo MT is no good in snow. I run 37'S and have always been thrilled with these tires in the snow, mud, rock, whatever.. Best tires I  :twocents:have ever owned and will not buy anything else. I do not have a Diesel, but the people I do know that have them have alot of trouble with the weight of the engine.  Good friend has a 07  Dodge Diesel with Toyo 37'S  and that piece of chit cant even back out of camp without being in 4 LOW.....
