Title: Where to buy toyo open country m/t's
Post by: NW-GSP on October 03, 2013, 11:18:07 AM: I have a 2000 4runner with stock sized tires.
I'm trying to find the best price and what size tire to go with?

Title: Re: Where to buy toyo open country m/t's
Post by: Buckmark on October 03, 2013, 11:19:24 AM: I think Toyo's are a schwabby only tire on this side of the country?
Title: Re: Where to buy toyo open country m/t's
Post by: chukar hunter on October 03, 2013, 11:20:13 AM: yes it is. Best tires I've owned. Pushed snow over the hood of my F-150 with A/T's. Handle great and low road noise.

Schwab will tell you exactly how big of a tire they can put on. Just stop in.

Post by: jackelope on October 03, 2013, 05:03:59 PM: Buy some Nitto's. The "Mud Grappler" would be probably about the equivalent if I'm not mistaken. Great tire, made by Toyo and a heck of a lot cheaper.

Title: Re: Where to buy toyo open country m/t's
Post by: Happy Gilmore on October 03, 2013, 07:08:56 PM: I've used two sets of Cooper SST's. They wear great, last a long time and maintain traction for almost the entire life. I've never had a set of Schwab tires that had good traction after the first 40% is gone and they are noisy.

The last set I decided to try the BFG KM2 Mud Terrains on my F-350. I've had them two years. Probably 60% tread left. Love them. They are not as loud as the Coopers and get great traction on everything from snow, grass, mud and wet pavement.

I've extremely happy with them and will probably replace them with another set of the same. They were also the least expensive tire in an E rating I could buy. Discount tire with a no-questions asked replacement warranty for $1,100.

Just put a set on my 2500 Dodge from Discount. Toyo's are manufactured in Nitto's factory. Had a set of Toyo M/T before and they were a little louder. You will save cashola if you shop at Discount vs. Les

I do not know about discount, but...

every 5,000 miles you balance and rotate your tires = $75
$75 for every 5000 miles, times about 30,000 miles everyone says they get 40k+ so this is an underestimate! = $450
$450 x 6 balance and rotations = $450
$450 + $810 = $1260 + install, and no Les Schwab warranty (free balance/rotation/fixaflat/roadside assistance, etc)...Math isn't my strong suit, show me where I am wrong!

I have $1200 worth of chrome wheels from Les Schwab, free rotate, free balancing if needed. Warranty with Discount, no problem, I've dealt with them before on leaking UTV tires. They were going to send me more expensive tires a t no charge, but I got the problem solved. :tup:

Cooper SST or BFG KM2 Mud Terrain. My BFG's are wearing great so far and have great traction still after two years. That won't happen on a Schwab tire.

1-nobody on God's green earth needs to balance tires every 5k miles. Rotate, yes. Balance, no way.

Anybody who buys tires and doesn't get free lifetime rotation and balance, you're missing out. Everybody gives that now, even the Ford dealers. Les, Discount, Costco, Ford dealers, you name it. Free rotate, free flat repair, pre-trip safety inspections, etc. Ford even offers a low price guarantee for anyone. They'll guarantee to beat everyone apples to apples.

Pizzacutters. I had jack-nobs in lifted trucks with the wide azz 20" street pounder rims trying to keep up and were sliding all over the road in 4x4. I hadn't even stopped to turn my hubs yet and didn't until Easton. Of course, I run winter time with about 600lbs over the rear axle and the pretty boy trucks never put weight down

Yeah i second that, i used to work at Les and all the guys would swap their Toyo MT's for snow tires because they are terrible in the snow. Big lugs= crappy traction on snow and ice. Of course most guys center sipe to get better traction, but that defeats the purpose of a mud tire and is a common practice of pavement pounders.

Have run lots of tires over the years probably will not go back to Schwab went to get another set of Toyo M55 and was shocked how far the price went up. Went to Discount and had BFG's AT put on and could have nearly bought new wheels for the same price Scwab wanted for the Toyos. BFG's were $100 per tire cheaper than M55 :twocents:

I didnt know all of those other tire stores did all that, and I claimed that, thanks for the info! The only tire store in my town is Les Schwab, so its kind of a no brainer.

I have my tires balanced every time I have them rotated, it might be overkill, but its free, and it cant hurt. Takes an extra couple minutes for them to do, and its already on the rack with all the tires off anyways.

Post by: The Weazle on October 04, 2013, 09:34:31 PM: Carl, I have had M-55's on a previous vehicle, and I will agree with you 100%. They are awesome, and the traction is unmatched for all driving styles/conditions/surfaces.

I couldn't afford them this time, so I didn't get them on this truck, but my next set will be M-55's without question!
