Yeah them suckers have been on back order for a long time now. I wanted a set of 38's to throw on my truck and they said I'd be waiting for a long time.

It's to bad you don't have 16" wheels.............cuz I have a almost brand new set of Toyo MT's 315/75/16's sitting in my garage

I think that national backorder is a bunch of BS they have been feeding us for about a year now.

All I had to do was go to Toyo's biggest retailer Les Schwab. I walked in the front door and told them I needed 4 Toyo MT's in 35X12.50 on 18". They guy made a few calls and told me they will be there in 10 days.

Well on monday 3/13 I got them put on. THEY ARE AWSOME

ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS PICK UP THE PHONE AND CALL LES SCHWAB

I got mine in Placerville, CA

Toyo U.S. Plant

Toyo's supposed to be building a plant here and I can't wait. The manager of my local Discount Tire says they'll carry them when they can supply all 600+ stores. Should provide good paying manufacturing jobs for our guys too and lower the price on a great product!

Actually the nitto mud grapplers in 35x12.50 r18 are a load range E tire.. I have them on my truck with the kore welds now.. They are definitely aggressive with a great ride and traction, they look sweet, with the only downside being the noise..they definitely make it

Not sure what's up with toyo but it's certainly pretty pathetic of them as long as it's taken them to get these tires to market..which they still don't seem to be.

I was planning on running the Toyo M/Ts on my truck, but due to the wait I ended up going with the Nitto Mud Grapplers and I love them. No complaints at all. Don't buy them if you don't like the sound a TSL Swamper makes. They sound about the same, just a little quieter.

If Les schwab cant help Kore says they get there tires before anybody cuz of the racin biz and all. They had the AT's just like everybody else and they told me I could get the MT's if I wanted.

Must be all sizes of the Toyo M/T. A buddy of mine was gonna get a set for his Jeep but they where nationally backordered so he got Goodyear MTRs instead.

It's strange that a company seems to have no desire or ability to meet the needs of thier customers yet they still have a good rep...Why even get into the tire business if you can't even supply your own product..
