But if you do go for the four I would not buy the Toyo's again. A very good tire, but heavier than needed and the side walls are a bit too stiff. $.02
Thanks for the info. My rig is MT6 and the dealer told me Friday that even the difference of 3-4/32nds could cause the center differential to overheat and I might be in fir a big bill! They recommend all four being the same. These are Bridgstone Dueler H/T 840's the tread after 40K is still 8-9/32nds. Not too bad in my opinion. My mileage on the road at 75-80 in KY, WV and MD mountains is 20+. Around town 17-181/2. What will other tires do for that mileage? Also anyone know about the center differential going bad because of difference wear amounts? Should I buy LT or stick with the P tires? Woody says don't buy "E" load rating for off roading, but so far all my miles are on the pavement. I know, it's a shame, but one day I will get her in the mud! One day I will not have to depend on her for my daily driver.

Thanks,
