not that it makes to much difference, but I didn't want my outside lugs to chip on the gravel rock, so I had the tire siped on all the tread except for the outside lugs. Should have better taction than the non-siped, and still preserve the lugs. M55 are expensive, but I like em.

Any one running 8 Ply that hauls heavy loads on occasion?
I love the toyo's, but you will get more miles out of yokohama geolanders they used to be six ply but are now 8 ply, I overload the truck consistently with firewood and gravel, one day I drove over the scale at 11,600 lbs gvw no probs.

I got the Toyo's on and really like them. The ride is a lot better than they Toyo MT I had on there. I got them siped also should be good to go for winter.
