First set of Terra's was 285/70-17E's, second set switched to 285/75-17E's. Been very happy with them...

I'm on my 2nd set of Toyo's AT's and love them.. Low noise and good wear.. I dont go off road much at all but I imagine they do well there too.

I bought the Toyo's earlier this month.
Looks like I made the right decision if they will last through Swole's abuse.

My Terra's didn't last as long as I would have hoped 25k and two of them are about to show cords. The other two have about 5k or so. Could have been better about rotations.

Toyos. Got 23k out of my Nittos. Local dealers here wont sell anymore due to too many low mileage complaints. They hate gravel too. Toyos for sure.

Have to say Toyo's. I have 25k miles on them now and down to 10/32 on the tread.

I must be odd man out here. I have gotten two sets of Toyo's and have only gotten max 35k out of them. The only reason I bought the second set was the 50k warranty. They are good all around tires light offroad, rain, ice and snow.

I bought a set of 285-70-17 Nittos on a set or rims used from a guy at church. They had desent tread left on them but they dident last long. He said they only had around 30K on them when I bought them. I dont remember what I got out of them but it wasent much, mabey 5-10K and they where shot. That was on my last truck. This truck I bought used with 56K on it and had new tires put on rite away. I put 285-70-17 Cooper Discoverer ATRs on it and have rite at 60K on them with a lot of life left on them. I fiure mabey anouther 25-30K left. I pull a nose heavy toy hauler with it to so it sees some loaded miles. I also am not good with rotating tires regularly.
