Finally got new tires. Toyo Open Country MT ( 285/75/17). They look great on the truck, lets see how the hold up.

 

That looks sweet! I am looking at that same size. Do you have any more pictures maybe one from the front? Also how far do they stick out from the fender well? Thanks.

 

The distance is minimal. Here are some more pics

 

OK, now I'm convinced those are what I want! I just need to fidn a good price on them...

Looks very good.

 

Yep, those 285/75's are a great size for our trucks...

 

Im running those in the ATs, what do you guys think of the MTs next and and Leveling Kit?

 

These tires are prety expensive. I hope you find a good deal. I bought them local. I would hate to buy tires then something go wrong and have to ship them back somewhere.

 

I will be putting the MT's to the test next week. About 2,500miles highway and 1000miles of logging roads up in Ontario Canada. I will let you know how I feel about the MT's and the need for a leveling kit after my trip.

 

Yes, please do, Id like to know about road noise on those MTs. The wifey likes it quiet on road trips.HAHA

 

I've got them as well and love them. Try treaddepot dot com for the best price.

 

update on tires. so for so great. they are nice and quite on the highway. even with driving 1000 mile legs. took them off road on some rough CN railroad roads to access communications huts and they did great. they have great traction. heck maybe even a little too much. they like to dig. I have another 1000 miles back home so we will see how they have held up after 3000 miles in one week.

 

I've heard from others that this is a quiet tire-as quiet as an A/T tire. It is very expensive though. It's very hard for me to see how a tire with what looks like a very similar aggressive mud tread to other tires that are very noisy could be quiet?

I mean other than rapid tread wear one of the major downfalls of a mud tire on the highway is noise. Toyo must really be on to something here. I wonder what their secret is? If this tire is quiet and the tread wear is decent I'd say they are worth the money.

By all means Joe, please keep us posted. I have a really hard time justifying $300 or so PER TIRE unless they do all that and last too.

Best deal on the Toyo MTs is from tiredeals4less - the 37"s are about $38 less each...

I'm on my second set, they are very quiet for an MT, balance well, have a great bite, and fantastic load capacity (4300#)... and of course they look

I just wish they'd last longer, but then again - no tire ever has on my trucks.

 

How are Toyo MTs in snow and on the highway? A tire shop near me talked me out of the MTs because of all the highway driving I do,he said they would wear out quick and also have poor traction in the rain.So I ended up getting Toyo M-55s from another shop.They are fine ,but kind of small,but they look great in a 16", 285 on second gen. trucks
