I have toyo mt's and i have about 18k on them, they have about 1/4 of the tread left. But you have to take in to account they have more miles on them spinning then actual driving..............hehe, so im happy with that. But if your looking for a alternative i had a friend that got amazing mileage out of pro comps Xterrain

Im with XXXXL Texan, the Toyo's do not seem to last as well as some have mentioned on here. I think what most are doing is running them bald for another 10k or so, and Im just not going to do that. Granted I'm leaving a good bit of rubber on the ground due to my insanely fast truck (HaHa), but these things are way too soft to put on a truck with some HP. The first time I did a burn out I knew they wouldn't last long, they were so soft hardly a peep was made, and when I went back to check out the dual street markers I had just laid, there were tiny ***** of rubber left on the pavement.

Good looking tire yes, long lasting maybe if you don't do burnouts or tow, but for some of us, these are not a good choice. I've been looking into the Nitto's but don't like what Im hearing on here. I had them on my Chevy 2500HD, and they worked awesome, but this truck doesn't like soft rubber.

So....I think what Big Tex and I are having problems with are finding a good 35x12.50'ish tire that not only is an "E" rated tire, but something that looks good. Afterall looking good is worth more to some than others.....I myself being one of them.

BTW Tex....after our phone conversation the other night I found Nitto makes a 325/70/17 (35x13), and a 37x12.50 AT, but not in "E"

Several times a year Firestone offers a 25% off sale on either Firestone or Bridgestone(same carcass) Currently they're offering a 15% sale. The site will spit out a price and you just have to bring it in. My site doesn't include tax so you'd have to add that on.

Alot of people don't like them for some reason but I had great luck with my ProComp Xtreme A/T's. I have over 38K on them and they still have more to go, and no they aren't slicks yet.

Sorry, but for $1300 I'm not do'n burn outs. I grew out of that shortly after high school. I am on my second set of Toyo MT's The first set lasted 38K and I would have han them easily another 5K if winter wasn't coming. The current set has about 25K and will easily get another 10K before next winter forces me to change them.

And I bet you didn't have a truck like mine in highschool either! Come on, I don't do burn outs very often, but how can you resist it on occasion? It just happens!

I run 37s on my truck and had major suspension problems the first 60k due to the way the shop got a 8" lift on my truck. had BFGs on my truck the whole time and at 60k replaced them once I got the suspension fixed. I easily expect another 60-80k miles on this set. I have ran them on every vehicle I can think of and routinely see 60-80k before changing them (due to age not wear). This time around I almost went with the Nitto but after careful consideration went with the BFG again as they have never let me down. In the past 10+ years I have hauled some pretty heavy loads and the BFGs have never let me down.
