Been running Toyo MT's for years... 4 sets now and not one has gone less then 70k...

I might switch to SuperSwampers soon just for the cost. $200 vs $430 but I dont know.

Are you serious?! 70K on MT's? That's better than I get out of Toyo AT's and I only have 33's. My only complaint is how heavy Toyo's are, and that they're made in japan.

Yup, every set. The key to the toyo is rotation... Every 3k without fail. I dont know why but it works!

37" Procomp X-Terrains here. Don't wear all that great, but great traction in the slick stuff. On my second set that I got for free under the warranty. Surprisingly quiet for a directional.

Kumho KL 71...

Have 20k on them so far and they are barely worn.... great in mud and snow and are very quiet on road for a MT.

Hankook dynapro MTs have held up well, I ve got 50K on this set, but am starting to see dry rot cracks (3 years old in march).

I've got a friend who just put these Fierce Tires | Attitude M/T on his EX and I am really liking the tire. E rated and only 895 a set. They are made by Kelly Springfield. Probably what I am going with in a month or two.

Dont let anyone tell you that a Procomp X terrain is "quiet". lol

The toyo Open Country MT is the best mud tire period. Plus they give a street truck that mean badass look too

What! Been running them for 2+ years, only get noisy if you don't rotate them or they start to cup. And I said that they are Surprisingly quiet, not quiet like a road tire obviously, for a directional tire.

Best mud tire, haha.

I'm running mickey thompsons mtz and they are holding up nice. Something over 50k miles with still plenty of tread left. They may not be as quiet as the toyos but nothing the radio can't fix. So far they have been good in the mud for me, hook up no problem. I'd recommend them as well as checking out the Dick Cepek mud countrys.

I had the pro-comp x-terrains on mine got 55k out of them probably could have gotten 60-65k but I got a great deal on some Toyo MT's all four for $1150 so I just got them. I wouldnt say that they are much quieter than the X-terrains just a little but they do have a smoother ride. I like them both so far but I hope to get 70k out of the MT's I will rotate every 4k and see what happens.

They look even better in person than online, I've done some research since seeing a set and really like them. They're lighter than Toyo's (what tire isn't?), rated a little higher, and have a deeper tread which I hope would mean an extended tread life. My only concern is that an agressive tread like that may hurt my mileage even more than going to these wide AT's I have now.
