Toyo M55s. They aren’t cheap. I’ve ran them for hmmmm 25+ years now. 3 different Dodges and one Ford. It’s what the loggers use(d) almost exclusively. I think they are the best of the best.
:yeah:

My son has had surprisingly good snow traction with the new BFG Mud T/A KM3 with much stronger sidewalls. I'm going to give them a try next time. I didn't think they would be that great on snow - not sure on ice - but he was plowing a couple feet in his Gen 1 Cummins without a problem.

We have been happy with the Toyo AT.This is what I use. I get a lot of miles out of them.

In the last 5 years I've run cooper stt's, toyo mt's, and falken wildpeak at3w's. Not even considering price the Falkens are my top choice out of the 3, so if you factor in value its the falkens by a mile for me. Toyo,s are hands down the worst. :twocents:I had the toyo M/T's before I switched to A/T's the M/T's were pretty soft rubber and wore out way faster than my A/t's I've had 3 sets of A/T's now and they have held up great.

I really liked my BFG all terrain TA's when they were newer. As they've worn I find myself spinning trying to climb hills on the logging roads. They don't do so well on the loose gravel.I'm on my second set of these (KO2s) on my 2009 Ram 1500. Traction degrades noticeably at 50% tread wear, however I got 40,000 miles out of the first set before replacing them at 50%. Very impressed with this tire on snow, ice, gravel and dirt in the first half of tread life. Not the best mudder I've ever had but for a quiet tire with excellent overall traction I'm quite pleased.
YMMV.

M-55s are too heavy for typical passenger trucks and kill your mileage. Toyo MTs will be too loud and have too much tread for what you need.

Went back to Discount Tire that morning and they gave me full price of the Coopers in exchange for a new set of AT KOs.
Lesson learned.

Flip a coin between Nitto Ridge Grappler or Cooper Discoverer ST Maxx. BFG All Terrain is a good choice, unless you drive lots of gravel, these throw gravel pretty bad. Toyo M-55 is very durable and a good choice too, IMO it's noisier than the others listed.
This Cooper discoverer st Maxx is the one I ended up going with and it is also the one that was recommended to me prior to me asking the question on here but I wanted to see what everyone else’s experience was before deciding. My brother has the Nitto ridge grappler and is happy with them but I didn’t want the same tire he has. The m-55’s don’t come in my size. Probably the next one that I would consider was picked on here was the Falken wildpeak.

I have the Cooper discoverer st Maxx and have been totally impressed with them. I will be buying another set to replace them after this summer.

I worked for Les Schwab in the late 80's and we sold a ton of m 55's to the loggers to put on there crumies. They wore like iron. It was the shiz dizzle. Toyo then changed rubber compoundand it they didn't get the life out of them like before. Now that being said, still one of the best on the road.

I got the tires and have a initial review already. I went in the wet heavy snow and they went good until the belly started dragging too much, so traction was great. They are slightly louder than the wild country they replaced but not enough to be a problem. Here’s what I don’t like, they seem like they are all over the road, like they roll on the sidewalk or something. Not sure what I’m going to do about that yet.Which ones?

M55 ride fine. It's the crombie that rode like crap... something about driving 50 over potholes to smooth out the ride has something to do with it.

m55,s are super tough if your gonna be in rock but with the hard rubber dont provide the best traction , the firestone revos are a good mix and the leswabb house brand snow tire is a great tire and provides great ice traction though it plugs up in mud . i can honestly say i'm never buying another toyo though. if your looking for a mud tire the bf goodrich mt would be a good choice imo . i like a shorter life span tire with better traction.
I used to be a big Toyo fan. Good traction, good wear, great ride. All have gone downhill on last couple sets I bought. My AT2s got really slick at about 60 percent. The HTs on my Duramax were a bear to get smooth ones. Replaced 2 before they could get the vibration out. The Z900 ultras on my wifes car sucked. Replaced 6 of the 4 tires to try to get rid of the vibration couldn't do it. Schwabs stepped up to the plate though and swapped out for 4 Michelens and smooth as silk. Don't know what happened to Toyo but they aint what they used to be.

If you plan on driving in snow and ice, the M55 Open Countrys are HORRIBLE tires. They don't wear well. I owned them on my F150 and got rid of them. They are too hard of a tire unless you like wasting a lot of money on hype or very expensive name brands...
Arent you in Arizona, what do you know about snow and ice? :chuckle:
Funny how folks have complete opposite opinions. Ive staked my life many times on these tires and I wont hesitate to do so in the future. From Methow Winters to Colville Reservation roads and North Idaho roads, and now to the Yakima Basalt and routine trips on the firing center which often eats tires like candy. I commute 50 miles everyday now in the ice belt. Toss in a roadtrip to Utah, Eastern ORegon or Montana, WTH. I drive in some serious crap. lol It must just be my driving skills. :)

I am, but I didn't drive on plowed, sanded roads with salt on them... :chuckle: Still wouldn't own a one of them. :tup:

My LT falkens ride smooth and quiet, grip is fantastic, no signs of chunking on Basalt.
They balance with very little weight.
Recent reviews on BFG ATs scares me away from those.
Only downside is they’re heavy.
If you frequent the Toyota forums, you’ll see most threads talk about how a tire looks.
Buy for function.
Great pricing at Tire Rack.
