Thumbs up Toyo Open Country M/T Tires rock

Just put on a set of LT 315/75/16 on and drove around yesterday and today in some harsh ice and deep snow they worked awesome and look cool. Got them on to some dry pavement they drive smooth and are quiet now lets see how they wear. One thing though the stock steering stabliser isn't up to the task in deep snow once in awhile they will really jerk the steering wheel around.
Got compliments on them already

Thanks for the feedback. I've been looking at new tires, but I am waiting until my stock BFG Rugged Trails were down a little more.

I'm anxious to here more impressions about driving on hard pack snow as well as dry interstate/highway ride.

I run the Toyo A/T's and LOVE them! I recommend the A/T's for alot of highway use. Awesome snow traction.

Only probelm with the Toyo MT is I have read they only get 25,000-30,000 miles out of them.
The ATs are nice if they had a 285/75/16 in a E rated tire.

This is wht I will be going with the Toyo M55s. Aggresive tread, E rated, 285/75/16 and you will get 50,000+ miles out of them. People on here swear buy them and they wear like a commercial tire.

Boy,things have really gone up. I paid $189 for the AT's on my '99 two years ago.

This place has the 285/75/16 MTs for $209.
They are only a half hour from me.

I have the MT's and I heard nothing but good reviews on mileage. In reality I doubt I'll get 30k out of them. They're more than 1/2 gone now and I've barely got over 15K on them. Mine are 33-12.5x18's. There are like 3 different tires that have either the same or very similar tread design. I like the toyo's in every way except they didn't have the width I wanted and the wear is horrible, but the traction is good and they're pretty quiet. (the wear isn't from power the front tires are the first to go)
