Had to share (brag) . I got 32K from my 35X12.5 M/T's. It's amazing how you can get used to worn tires and are totally amazed how much nicer your rig drives with new ones.

Had to add a photo after taking the boat out to Detroit today. Brought home 5 nice rainbows.

Very nice.

Nice, how much noise do they make?

Danderson

Very nice. You should pick up a dab of fuel efficiency and improved braking over the 35"s.

Thanks everyone.
As for the noise, I don't have a muffler, so I couldn't tell you if they make ANY noise
I can say that the truck tracks alot better now, plus I can turn lock to lock without rubbing the control arms.

Nice tires!
I just picked up a set of Toyo MT's, same size, takeoffs, couldn't pass up the deal.
I had the center tread blocks siped on them. Trying my luck at a real homeade "mud and snow" tire.
Have a buddy who swears by them, says they get the best tire life out of any mudder. We'll see, but Toyo MT's are all they run around here in the PNW. Probably 3:1 Toyos vs all other brands combined.
(Or maybe it's becasue that's what Les Swabs sells and you can't swing a dead cat without hitting a Les Swabs tire shop up here!)

Very nice! My truck came with the same size Toyo M/T. So far, I'm pretty impressed with them. I went all through hunting season driving hundreds of miles of muddy road without slipping a wheel. I'm hoping they do good in the snow and ice (although we don't get much around here).

Agree with Grit - pretty much everyone around here is running the Toyos and everyone seems to be happy with them. I wish there were a longer running M/T or aggressive A/T - that's the only reason I'd go with something else!

Thanks again.
I know all about the Les Schwab/Toyo relationship thing here in the northwest. They have an exclusive deal so no one else can carry Toyo's in the PNW. I actually worked for LS back in the 90's. They buy everything possible by the train load and have an unbelievable profit margin.
With that said, at this point in time, I won't have anything BUT Toyo's on any of my vehicles. I'm all for buying American, but IMHO, nobody comes close to the quality of Toyo. Almost a 4,000lb rating on a 33" tire is unheard of elsewhere.

So that's why everyone is running Toyos up here. Don't see them much in other parts of the country.
I just moved up here last year. Off topic, but what's with all the tire shops in the PNW? Can't swing a dead cat without hitting one! And I think my tires last longer up here with all the wet roads and cool weather.
Was just in a small town S of Olympia last wknd and counted 4 tire shops on the main drag! They're everywhere.

I've got a 4400# front and 4000# rear axle load due to my camper being on all the time and my Toyo 285-75-17 MT's hardly show any wear @ 18K.
That being said,I think I'll go with the AT's next time as we only get 10" of rain here.

Do you have a camper or canopy?
Here are my axle weights on a DOT scale.

Empty (just me and truck, full fuel) Front-4900, Rear-3100, Total-8000

W/Camper and 3 men loaded for a week Front-5500, Rear-6800, Total-12,300.

Your weights seem awful low for any camper, even a pop-up.
