My copper mt's do great in all conditions, being a true mt they wear a little faster on the pavement but fair better than my last set of toyos. If you take your rig off pavement i like the cooper mts

If you get into the mud or snow or sand simply air the tires down and your good to go.. then once you're back on pavement air them back up and enjoy the smooth ride home. I found that the times where a mud tire are useful only account for maybe (at the most) 5% of my total driving. Id rather use a BFG A/T for the other 95% of the rough gravel roads and pavement I'll be on.

I have had the Goodyear Wrangler AT/MT combo tire that they make. I've been super impressed with it in mud and snow, they have gone every where I have needed them too. I was able to get them for $185 a piece too by shopping around on the internet and getting a price match from Discount Tire. The only downside I have found is they do throw rocks at your wheel wells on gravel roads.

I like my toyo mt

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.....

That's why you have good luck in the snow.... Your rig prob doesn't come close to weighing 7500lbs and doesn't have 750+ foot pounds of torque
The best snow tire/truck application I ever had was my 98 Toyota Tacoma, 2.7ltr, 33" Toyo AT's syped. That truck was like Rudy Galindo on snow and ice I can't believe I used that comparison...

I should have mentioned that the 16.5 rims will only fir the older  dodges 02 and older i think  won't fit over the new dodge brake calipers.

I got 285/75/17 Toyo MT on my Dodge and love them. I Mud TerainSXT before and they worked well also.

Hey.... I resemble that remark.   I've been TIA certrified since it was called ITRA 

I'm running Toyo HT's on a stock chevy (LT265-75R16/8 ) and I have yet to get into a situation that I feel AT's or MT's would have made much difference. In the snow I put my chains on.  and my rig rides nice on the Highway. 65,000 miles and counting

I have a chevy 3/4 ton diesel, and the toyo A/T's I had were gone in 17,000, and I mean bald.  I rotated them, aired them correctly everything...I thought it might be my fault, and like a dumb ass bought them again.  19,000 miles later, bald as a baby's ass...Bought the toyo M-55's this time, and have about 10,000 on them and they still look brand new.  The M-55 also performs very well in mud and snow, but they are pretty loud on the highway...Every person I know with toyo M/T's or A/T's on a diesel only get 25-30k out of them...I would love to see the proof of anyone getting over that on a set of a/t's or m/t's in a diesel pickup.

35X12.50x18 BFG KM2's love them I ran the original Km's and almost got 60K out of them. As for mud tires not being good in the snow are you talking about packed snow on the road or plowing fresh tracks in powder. Snow is the only reason I have mud tires and will never go to anything different. I have been to many places my truck should have never been, held stady throttle and let the tires work.

lol might as well just throw some pitbull tires on there

I hate to say it fellas, you guys love those M/Ts in the snow, but, you don't live where you have snow 4-6 months out of the year. They suck big time for snow and ice.

I would say for most people in your situation Some kind of AT would be best, and then buy a set of link Chains to throw in the truck.  Most people want the aggressive look on their rig, and if you don't put a lot of miles on it you'll be ok. A/T always wear better than MT. The larger the gap between the lugs the more prone to wear it is. Some M/T are better than others. Everyone that i know that loves the Toyo MT have light rigs, many with 1 tons have poor success.
