So far I'm completely happy. I've had mine a little over a year now and the tread blocks are rounded over, theres a gash in one sidewall that didn't make it through and I pulled a 3/4" long 6mm screw out of one the other day and they have still failed to give in to anything I've come across

They are so smooth, they actually make the road feel like glass. They never wear out yet the lugs are soft as butter and grip like Christie Allie in Hometown Buffet.
I rub the tires against my skin and it makes me look 10 yrs younger and the smell takes weight off. I think Jenny Craig chops up Toyo MT's and puts them in her foods. actually, I've only a few miles on them but they seem nice enough. Looking forward to DV, we'll see how they do down "puncture alley"

If you have $150 tire you aren't running Toyo MTs.
The Toyo MT is my favorite all around tire. They do great on the highway. They are quiet. They are siped a little from the factory and do well on snow and ice. They are the roundest tires I've ever owned. I had one that only took .5 ounce on a 315. They wear well on a Cruiser. They are bullet proof. Our lava rocks eat tires for lunch in Idaho. Two downsides, they are heavier than your typical MT or AT tire and they are getting outrageously expensive. But all tires just keep going up and up. __________________ Eric V.

I run Toyo Mts on my SOA 40 on T/R beadlocks, and they run smooth as a babys butt... and they wear good. I've ran alot of different tires over the years and I feel they are better than average in most invironments from heavy rock, snow,mud, etc.. but I wouldn't say they are great at anything but running smooth/quiet down the paved road...

Everything that Gineric said is 100% true... However I have noticed something else now that I've had them for 1.5 years. Everything that makes them a good daily driver tire makes them suck in the terrian I wheel in. They weren't bad when they were new, but now I can't get the tire to "hook-up" at all. I have maybe one good traction weekend a year. Screw the benifits of the tire, it's not a DD anymore, I'm going back to Super Swampers or Pitbulls!
I guess it all depends on what you are expecting your tire to do... Personally, I hate them. __________________ Chad Cascade Cruisers- President KE7VSA Views from the Creeper MetalTech Quote:

I am on my 3rd week with the MT's and I am very happy with my choice. Not too terribly loud on the highway and great in the ice,mud,and snow. Not to mention they look really nice on the truck.
I havent owned them long enough to pass judgement on them, but like I said...very happy with my choice. __________________ I love my country...but my government scares me 97 FZJ80...man I love this truck 94 LS400 87 Supra Turbo Targa 70 Malibu project |

The price on the Toyos had a huge jump as of Mar 1st, FYI
MTZ's are looking better, but I still like my Toyos __________________ No cruisers, Im here for the Chicks and Beer McColgan for Prez Originally Posted by pagemaster It shows how weak and underbuilt the 100 series is. |

my brother runs them on his 06 F-350 and he likes them better than the bfg's of anything. He also has an EDGE attitude programer and that thing will roast the tires off and still no chunking.

Love mine. Hurt gas mileage a bit, and louder than the AT's I had prior. Still have deep siping after 15k miles/1 year.
