Toyo MT review

[ssgjohnson]

ok, you guys mostly already know that i had to get some new rubbers... er tires.

I went with the Open Countries due to the price point and the reviews i heard from people that had ran them before. here are my observations so far...

Nice hum without being obnoxious, good road holding ability on par with my previous ATs or better.

the side-walls have a very aggressive looking pattern... i think its hawt

pull through softer stuff pretty well. I shot up some tall rooster tails in loose dirt and the tires were clean when i was done.

havent had it in any real mud, so i will update on the "M/T" portion as soon as i can.

Has anyone else ran these before and how did YOU like them?

Ive always looked at them, but I couldnt justify the cost. theyre not cheap.

[ssgjohnson]

I got them for 18 out the door, mounted, balanced... Im sure i could have gotten a cheaper tire, but i desired an MT that had the looks and the rep, and wasnt named grappler. nothing against that tire, but in FL thats what everyone runs.

[Bdons-SD]

Everyone here runs the toyo MT, kind of over done. I went with bfg ats since I tow a lot and our trailers chew down MTs quicker. got those for 1000 out the door.

I loved my 37" toyos they were great....Quite on the road and would eat off road.

[Bdons-SD]

I do hear they are good tires though. I had a set of 35 inch toyo ATs on my black f150 and they were great. toyo makes a great product.

[ssgjohnson]

good stuff... its funny how the trends differ by region. down here, the mud grappler is everyones tire of choice and the toyo is more hard to find, and up there its the toyo thats overdone... That kind of thing intrigues me for some odd reason.

[Bdons-SD]

up here its the layered polo with popped collar wearing d bags that get the MTs cuz theyre cool. they dont ever see mud ha ha

I had some 37 13.50 18 toyo mts and i give $1750 for em ... They rode good but to me for the price there no better than any other

I love the toyo mts, great tire if you need excellent off road traction but also good highway traction, half decent in winter too which is uncommon for a mt.

I looked at the Toyo M/T's cause I had Open Country A/T's that I got 80K miles out of. Thats 80K miles probably 80% highway with a trailer on it, also plow'd with them, and little off road use which I consider OUTSTANDING wear for any tire, let alone 305/55/20 A/T's

Wanted something more agressive this time around, ended up going with the Nitto Trail Grappler M/T this time, very simlar to the Toyo M/T, but about 30% cheaper.....but I am second guessing myself after the first 5,000 miles seems like they are wearing quicker then I would like to see, but who knows, we will see how long they last!!! Live and Learn!

I hear good things about those nittos, mostly from 1/2 ton owners, not so much from guys like us hauling weight. MTs dont like constant hauling, really eats up those rears.

I had some 35's toyo open countys on mine before i lifted it and i loved them, i have always wanted nitto mud grapplers so when i lifted it thats what i went with insted of the toyos.. they were great tires though!

Yeah, that my problem. I got bit by the "gotta have something more aggresive" bug and went with the M/T's, and I am gunna pay for it!

Thought about trying to sell them recently and go back to A/Ts.......still might!

I have a trailer on atleast once throughout the day, not to mention the 900lb 8.5' Fisher V-plow when it snows in the winter, nothing like 900lbs hangin on the front of your truck to eat up the front tires!

The Nitto Trail Grapplers are very aggressive. I think these are the best looking tires on the market. 1450 out the door.
