Ok, so I have a bunch of miles on my BFG All Terrains, and need to replace them. In looking around, I have noticed how many people are running toyo's now. I am looking for some feedback on tires, what lasts, nice ride, etc. Noise isn't really an issue, I think I will stay away from mud terrain type, I drive 400-500 miles a week 99% of it on pavement. I would like an all terrain pattern, just in case I have to put it in 4wd. Any thoughts? Miles you are getting out of tires, etc would be helpful.

| My Toyos are going on 11K miles and still look brand new. So you know where I'm going to steer you. No noise to speak of. A little hard in the ride, but I think a lot of that is my Superlift springs going soft.
In A/T's also look at Nitto and Goodyear.
How long did your BFG's last and were you not happy with them?

| I got 63,000 miles out of the OEM set of Goodyear Wrangler AT/S tires. They probably could have gone another 5,000, but we decided to replace them before this winter.
I shopped around and couldn't really find anything better as far as value in a mud/snow rated tire. Getting 60-65,000 miles out of a set of tires is pretty good, and the Goodyears were at the lower end of the price range for this size tire.
We got the best deal I could find from the Ford dealer. Four 275-65-18 Wrangler AT/S, mounted and balanced for $684.96.
They ain't the fanciest tires around, but they get the job done. | |

| | I'm suggesting you look at nittos.... The terra Grappler is a great tire. Mine held up great and even helped me win a few trophies in the pulling circut around here. | |

| | I have been happy with the BFG's, I am trying to remember when I got them, its been several years. There are starting to get a little slick when its rainy, so I was just looking around. I may go down from 35's to 33's, and up in rim size, I just don't know how that would look with a 3" body lift. | |

| I ran the Toyo Open Country AT's on my SCrew. Loved 'em! Good all-round tire for on and off road (no serious muddin' and absolutely zero soft sand!).
The rode well, were quiet and the lasted the 60k miles that I put on them before trading in the truck.
They're worth considering. | |

| Give us size specific size....it'll help narrow the field.
For cool tread patterns - try:
Kumho Road Venture MT
Nitto Trail Grappler MT
I love my Toyo MT's. As a matter of fact, I've got another set coming! | |

| | I am looking at 35x12.50 17 or 18. Again, I spend A LOT of time on pavement. I have been pleased with the BFG's, I have just seen a pretty big following for the Toyos and thought I would look around. I may go down ot 33x12.50 soemthing, I just don't want my truck to look odd with the body lift and little tires. | |

| | One more thing. I have found a set of Toyo Open Country MT on some XD wheels on ebay, but hte tires are load range E. Will that affect the ride on a half ton truck, or could I expect longer tread life becasue they are a little stiffer? | |
