Exactly what I want to know as well, had good luck with Toyo MT's but would like to tame it down a bit, I am scared by the looks of that tire that it could be a rock thrower on the gravel.

Anyone sipe a mt tire and use it for winter? Could be a good option, I know ward in Calgary does siping for $30ea
Never seen it done for winter use,, but lots of people sipe boggers to give better traction side hilling.

Yes I have a dedicated siped winter set of open country mts that I run come winter, they work incredible, but you could not run them year round they would chunk out fast.

Do they have a snow flake on the side ??
Nope still a mud tire.
Good luck with putting chains on when its too late. I use my winters and get to sleding.

Toyo AT's on Sierra now. As above, don't think mileage will get that high before worn out. Anybody on here try the Kelly Safari TSL? Looks like a great tire.

Seen a set of Toyo At 2's 275/65-20 on a 2011 f350 that had only 12000kms on them and they were just about toast. Big chunks pulled out tread face and worn bad. Front not much better. This fellow isn't hard on thinks (65 years old) and is really disappointed in them. Taking them back and seeing what they will do for him. I will not be trying a set.

Talked to a guy in great falls and he swore by his nitto grapplers. He said he had 140,000k on them on a f-350 diesel? He had a brand new set of 6 for his dually and a set of 4 for the wifeys f-350. Said he paid $3300 for all of them which was the same price he would have paid for one set in lethbridge. I have no idea if it was BS or not but I would love to get 140,000 on a set of tires.

That seems odd... The tire dealer I normally deal with has over 20k on his diesel and they still look new. His were a 284/70/17

I has a set of terra grapplers and only ran them for 27000Kms .
75% worn out.
2012 duramax running empty and 80 % highway.
Wished I would have taken picture of the Toyo's
They are not meant for any gravel.

On my work truck I run a studded set for winter roads (m55) and a plain set in summer on the forestry roads around Grande Cache, great tire average 50k out of them on 100% gravel **** roads. Not really a highway tire though.

If you are doing lots of gravel driving running over 35psi in your tires causes them to not conform to the jaggedness of the rock, this causes the rock to dig in and gouge the tread. Run full press on a 3/4ton like 65psi and watch tread chunks tear off in like 2000km. Trust me, it make a huge difference.
You'll also see a huge improvement in ride quality, as the tires will flex and absorb the bumps. Only real draw back is a mild loss in mpg.

personally i've prob gotten the best life from the hankook rto3 mt's (Thats on a 06 cummins hauling sleds on a deck and a 6500lb holiday trailer) But they are def not the solution for winter as they have no siping. So far these procomp extreme at's iam running seem to be holding up and are fairly decent in mud and snow, Just seem hard to balance.

Get some balancing beads. my dad runs 35'' PC on his 2012 F 350 DRW he had balancing weights on and my checks would shake at speeds over 110 km/h. he went to the beads and its now very smooth at higher speeds

gone through 3 sets of toyo mts on a cummins. awesome tires but 75,000km and they are beyond pooched. probably done at 60k so was thinking about the at extreme as well. i guess mud tires and heavy trucks dont mix. sure are nice in deep snow and mud though and corner like a mother on the highway.
Had great luck w/ Open Country MT's and for a less aggressive tire GoodYear Wranglers.. Neither are great in winter but Sipe the MT's and you've got a decent tire.. Need a big knobby tread to get the deep sipes in..

had Toyo M/T 35's on my F350 and got over 80,000 km. Loved them. Bought Toyo AT 2's in April and so far so good. Approx 12,000 kms on them and they still look like new. Drove all the way to Oregon Coast and back, 37 c weather and pulling our 32 ft trailer. So far very pleased.
