These looks great in person.... I was looking at them, but was scared of the road noise so got some All Terrians instead. If I could do it over, I would get a M/T or MTR.

Not sure the tread life, if it is good then I would get them, if not look into the Goodyear MT/R too.

BTW, Welcome to the club we'll have to wheel sometime soon!

*edit*
1 other thing, 265/75/16 in a MT will probably rub quite alot... you are safer to go with a 245/75/16 which will allow best articulation, clearance and min. rubbing problems.

It's been done, but most people have had to do some cutting.

I have a friend with 35" vesions of those on his late model Blazer. He has also had just about all other MT tires on the same blazer (Swampers, BFG, firestone, goodyear, etc - he rattled a few more off). He said they are by far the quietest MT tires he has eve used... they are as quiet as most AT's. He said he will always buy toyos from now on.

He bought the tires used and was told they had 40k on them and he didn't beleive that caouse they looked hadly used... well 10k later he says they look almost the same. So wear may be good.?.

I just wish they came in a 245/75/16 I would be more comfortable with that size.

It would be nice to know if anyone has had this experience? If so, This would be a great tire.
