Great to hear they are quiet! $804.00 plus all the other fees at Discount tire for a set which is not bad.

Hell of a deal. I wanted the Toyo's but there were no deals on them at the time and I needed the extra money for other things. I went with the General Grabber ATX with a $100 rebate. It's a really, really good looking tire in person. Even the tire shop guys, who hadn't seen a set yet, were impressed by them after they arrived. They balanced easy too, and did good in the little bit of rain we've had since. I haven't been off road but I know they'll hang. Road noise is excellent. I'm really happy with them so far.

I got 64k out of my Open country Toyo's, and have 36k on the current set. My next set of tire's will be a Toyo open country, course since I don't drive as much now it may be awhile.

I might have bad luck, but I think I’m done with Toyo. Last set (MT’s) I lost a belt at 40k miles. The tire shopped talked me into their C/T, a commercial grade all terrain, things were close to $300 each. Well, they looked good until I hit 25k miles, 2 of them broke belts and 2 weeks later, the other 2 lost belts. All 4 were replaced at 25k miles. The tire shop says that I’m “that guy” and I was the first person to have ever lost a belt on one of these, much less 4 belts.... I have a hard time believing that I am the only one to have gotten faulty tires though. Who knows, back to Michelin’s I guess. IDK but my FIL was griping about Toyo's throwing tread last night. I won't be buying any.

I can say I’ve had mine (Toyo Open Country ATIII) for about a year and a half. I have put 30,000 miles on them and they still look new. To compare, the OEM BFGoorich All-Terrain TA KO3 tires last 30,000 EACH SET! These Toyo’s cost less and, so far, have lasted longer. No uneven wear, no noise, good traction. I’d recommend them.

Not my experience. My last BFG TA KO2's went over 50k. I replaced after a bad puncture on one but still had quite a bit of tread left.

When buying tires i always do the same thing. I find the size and load range i want and start shopping. I look at walmart, discount tire, costco, sams, sears, and an online vendor or two. It doesnt take much time at all. Pick the cheapest name brand tire that meets my needs and is in an acceptable tread pattern. So far i have had goodyear, uniroyal, BFG, cooper, bridgestone, continental, firestone and probably a few i cant remember and never had a bad one. I have used a few off brand tires and that is why i now limit my search to name brand tires.
My most recent set are Cooper A/T LT265 70 R17 E-range. Stock size.
I paid $544 out the door including mounting and balancing and disposal of my old tires, that comes down to $136 a tire. I have over 20,000 miles on them and they have been as good as any other tire i have had.
Lets get real with ourselves here, if this is your daily driver chances are slim to none that the tread pattern will even make a difference and unless your a hard core off roader most would be better served by a set of michilins than AT's. Thats reality i know everyone will argue it though.
Also i got 70,000 miles of use out of the P-rated factory tires. They still had more tread to go, but i found these on sale and didnt want to pass the deal. I drive it to our south texas ranch, i haul feed and trailers with it, had over 3000 lbs in the bed of a 1/2 ton even on the P-rated tires and other than a flat here and there they held up fine. People make mountains out of mole hills with tires. A nail is a nail and will flatten just about any tire. Match the tire to what your using it for, dont drive over stupid stuff and have at it. I will say even with the 10-ply coopers, i have driven over some pretty stupid stuff and zero flats, but when/if i get one i will know its my fault.

I totally understand and agree about the “need” for all terrain tires. I drive my truck about 95% on highway. But, it IS a 4x4 Off Road addition with Fox remote reservoir shocks and heavier spring rates. It wouldn’t look too good with highway radials.

I had Toyo Open Country III at's, got 50k out of them with no problems at all, I replaced them while there was still a little meat on the bone. I went back with Cooper Discover AT3 XLT, heavier rated tire and so far have been pleasantly pleased.
