i have 30000 miles on my mt and they still have about half the thread. they arent as bad noise as i thought they would be but they still hum pretty good runnin down the highway. as for the ride i have 20" rim on 35" tires so the sidewalls are short and thick so the ride isnt as good as you get with 16" or 18" tires but i live with it for the looks of the tire and the offroad use that i get out of them. over all they are a very good tire

 

35's on 20's probably aren't cheap. I'm running 18's so hopefully the ride and price would be a little better.

 

I've had mine for a little over 15k and I hardly notice the road noise compared to my last MT tires. Here are several picks that I just took for you, but I don't think they do justice since it's dark and they are pretty dirty.

 

Thanks for the replies guys.

 

Id be willing to bet that the Toyo M/Ts are about the best M/T out there from what Ive heard. Expensive? Yeah, but they should be worth it.

 

no they arent cheap 470 bucks a piece but worth every penny i think

 

Wow that is steep, in OR you can get them for alittle over $300. I just put on my secound set about a month ago. The first set I had I got 43,000 miles out of them and I pull a trailer and my pu weighs 8200#.

 

yea i would go with 18" or 17" when i buy a new set

 

Not to hijack this thread, but along the same lines and might help out some. I have been considering these for my next set. Anyone have a comparison (mileage or ride) to another "known" tire. BFG A/T's or M/T's, Goodyear MT/R's or something like that? I have had a "few" tires in the past, but the Toyo's are relatively new to the mainstream market.

37x13.50x18 toyo's here. love them. they are the smoothest riding, quietest M/T i have ever had.

 

I think thats the size Im gonna go with. Mostly highway use, but some snow/mud use too. If they last 43,000miles, Id be replacing them almost every year...how many you get outta them??

 

When I was looking for a set of 18 to replace my continentals ( junk in winter) they were going to cost around $900. Bought a set of BF rugged trail with rims 17" had about 5000 miles on them for $750. Great tire for here in Michigan, Go thru the snow very well next set will get prices on Goodyear and BF Goodrich But being able to swap tires for now hope that will be a few years.

 

I put a set of 325/65 18 BFG A/T KO on after the Mud Grapplers and they are excellent on the street and snow but not so great in the mud. I plan on trying out the Toyo's next time around since everyone says great things about them.

 

I would have gone for the Toyo M/T's myself, but that kinda changes when you have to buy 6 of them....:doh:

 

I have Toyo MT's 40/15.50/22's and love them the last set lasted me 45-50,000 miles

 

arent the toyo mt's the same as the cooper discover STT's and mickey thompson mtz's? I think cooper makes them all

I don't know about the MTZ's, I haven't really heard good things about them, but I know they compare the STT to the Toyo and they say its same but half the cost......so your paying for the name really :nod:

 

I dont know about anyone else, but I have a set of 38x15.5x18 Toyo MT and they flat out suck on ice/snow covered roads. Been looking for another set of tires that compare to the looks/off road performance as the toyo's. And yes the Toyo's are very expensive. cheapest I can find around here for the size I have is $1100 a tire.

If anyone knows of a good MT tire that doesnt suck nearly as bad on snow/ice please let me know. Either 37x13.5 or 38x15.5

 

WOW that is way to much only paid $$ 525.00 a tire for 40/15.50/22's

 

well first of all that is definitely way to much money for a tire, and I really dont think that you will ever find a 15.5" wide tire that doesnt suck in snow and Ice. The wider the tire the worse it is going to be in conditions like that.

 

I know that it is a lot for a tire, but I honestly cant find a tire shop that sells em any cheaper in Edmonton. If anyone has some inside info on where to go I would really appreciate it.

If I can actually get them as cheap as when you guys are saying I will probably step up to 20 or 22" wheels with a 37x13.5 tire.

 

look in a magazine or buy them from online

 

Well I'm set I'm getting M/T's when this set wears out.
