So, Bobby...being the calculating trained warrior NCO that you are. Take the appropriate action, Execute!
your standard grunt level CQB is just putting rounds and rounds on scary stuff till it stops scaring you!
I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb. I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.
Maybe I'll try them on XJ, well once I finish my wide scale purge on all the rust..
I ran them on lighter trucks like my old Tundra with much success. on a jeep sized truck you'd like them if you have need of that much traction.But for you snow bound guys, i'm not sure how well they run in deep snow...not much siping
Don, what sort of mileage are you going to get out of your Toyos and how noisy are they? I spend most of my time on the highway and pulling the boat. I love the looks of the tire and want something that will get me in and out of deer camp but I don't want a bowling tire for those long road trips.
Thanks Don! I also like the look of the Open Country RT. I might give them a shot.http://toyotires.com/tire/pattern/open-country-rt-on-off-road-rugged-terrain-tires?cat=10
In in the same boat. Looking at Mayhem Monstir 20s for the dually and Im leaning towards to Nitto Terra Grappler because the vast majority of the mileage is on the highway 90+%
I'm leaning towards the black and machined.

Thanks Tate for the input. If you sold tires, I value your opinion. My operation is pretty small, so not a good sampling.I'm thinking of getting out from under these Grapplers...they're starting to drive me nuts (and I'm half deaf!). Toyo M/T it will be (see how that rhymed?)Wilber, I'm boycotting Sam's. I went in there with a shop list of expendables, filled the cart full to the tune of about 1400 (which included one of those fancy igloo Yeti look-a-likes, for Ken's huntin'), rolled up to the checkout with the shop visa in hand, and they say "sorry sir, we don't accept visa". I said wtf, left my cart sitting there, felt guilty, went back and paid with my personal monies. EErrr The door greeter said "but we take them at the fuel pumps" and to that I said "I didn't come here for gas" and left.
I sold the living snot out of Toyos for years before moving to differential parts. worked for a smaller outfit on the west coast Les Schwab. I can vouch for the MT's. treat them well with good rotation schedule and inflation and 50k is a legitimate number. I sipe the center group of lugs but not the outers on HD trucks. all the way on jeeps and lighter vehicles but outer lugs on heavy trucks tend to chunk out. My absolute favorite is the Toyo M55 pinned for studs. last forever, great traction like the old interco buckshots, quieter than most M/T's but cost a fortune.X2 on the bad shocks. Like the older wild country RVT's, they will scallop badly with poor shocks.

Like the older wild country RVT's, they will scallop badly with poor shocks. I'm running the M55's right now. I've passed 30+k on them now and they're holding up great. I haven't measured them but I'd guess over 50% left. These wear like iron, prior to these was running Nitto Terra's, hardly get 30K out of them. I had to order them in, (next day) as none of the shops I deal with stock them, and were easy enough to get. The guy at the shop said same type of sales mainly, oilfield, mining, etc, rough service use.He was right! Now, the price, yikes! Not for the faint of heart, but if I can run them 2+ times longer, worth it.
I have some Goodyear MTR's with 3000 ish miles on them that are so tore up you can hardly distinguish the tread pattern. Rock/gravel roads will decimate most any tire. Most locals around here use the KM2 because it holds up best on our gravel. I am sure region and road types make a huge difference.
Our new project will likely roll with 42" swampers that i will have spun ground to make round.
