well i'll tell you that my toyos are awesome. I would deffinatly buy another set.  People have been complaining about how much they cost well I will brag a little and say that I got mine for 800 bucks mounted and ballanced.  So for around 180 a tire I got the 37x14.50x15's from Les Swabs.  That is probably lower than anyone else on here could get them for unless you might work there but I'm pretty good friends with the assistant Manager there and he hooked me up since I bring him so much business through my friends.  They are really quite on the road (I personally dont' mine tire noise) awesome traction from what I driven in the mud and snow and in the rocks they kick some serious butt. I was crawling last summer up a river bed in Colorado behind some Heeps when they had to go take the bypass on a obsticle and I climbed right through it with my runner with it raining.  The rock was extrememly slick and I didn't have a traction problem at all.  He was driving on 37" MTRs and I wasn't impressed by how they performed at all.

I have tried the TSL's, Truxus STS, SSR and Bogger as well as BFG's and I will hands down put the Toyo MT up to it anyday from my personal experience as the best all around tire.  They have around 3000 miles on them so far with very little tread wear.  So my vote goes Toyo MT. 

oh and BigMike, I think those pitbulls looks cool to and I saw them at SEMA this year and they look cool but I want to see someone wheel them in person before I have an opinion.  Cool idea though.

Tirerack doesn't run them on rocks and trails though.
RIP KYOTA

You can go through life being scared of the possible, or you can have a little fun and tease the inevitable.

I run toyo 31 x 10.5 for around town and swamper 33 x 12.5 for more serious off road use around here the soil has alot of clay in it and it will stick in the tread and your tires will become slicks the swamper's aggressive tread really throws the mud noisy on the highway but I don't have far to go
