The search for a new tire...

TheShafer · 07-15-2008, 10:41 AM

I am close to needing a new set of treads. I am currently running on Toyo Open Country mudders (285/75). They have been ok but not totally happy with the miles I have gotten on them. I want to go to another 10 ply all terrain tire. I like the way the 285's look. Any suggestions. Would like to stay under a grand for the set.

I have 265 Bridgestone Deuler Revo's. $850 w/50k warranty and road hazard. Love em. there on a 92 silverado, not a dmax, but I've gotten 40k out of them so far mixed city/hwy, and with a light foot, and they still have about 1/3-1/2 tread left. And they will hold their own in the mud, yet are completley silent on the highway. They really come in to their own in the snow, but that doesn't do you much good in texas!! LOL here's a pic...

ps the 285's really look killer, I was dissapointed with the 265's compared to the 285's, but the 85's wouldn't fit on my truck

edit: Mine are 6 ply, so IDK what the price difference would be for 10 ply.

The only other tire i would compare with the toyo m/t is the Cooper STT unless you want an all-terrain. The Cooper STT is bad ass

If you are wanting mileage out of a mud tire this is the best ive seen but i know an all terrain would get better Prob mileage out of an all terrain BFG and Nitto terra grappler seem to do well

I have had no trouble with the Nitto Terra grapplers. We have been running these tires on our suburban and my truck for a couple years now.

I have about 10K on a set of goodyear Silent Armor...haven't experienced any problems. The price was right-175 a piece from Tire Kingdom.

I 've got a set of Pro Comp Extreme MT's. They only have about 1000 miles on them so far, but don't seem to be wearing at all yet. I got them on a buy three get one free deal at Four Wheel Parts, and had them shipped for free to my local store(45 minutes away).

Hey gr8shot, are those 10 ply tires? I have experienced a problem with 8 tread tires wearing very badly on the front.

I like my BFG ATs. A buddy of mine has seen 60,000 out of them on his Ford F250, and another 50,000 on a dodge 2500. Both trucks had a diesel and they both spent about 30% of the time pulling 3000 to 20,000 lbs. I have about 40 on mine and still have over 1/3 tread left. I like them in the snow, mud and Highway.

.....Pro Comp Extreme M/T or A/T's are very good tires. I also like the BFG M/T KM2 and Cooper SST.
