Topic: Toyo Vs Irok

[zippo]

So I have an 88 Ext Cab sitting on Diamond Axles with a Marlin 6" Lift. My wife went to buy me rubbers for x-mas and the Toyo's are spendy. Any recommendations? My truck will see the trail just as much as it see's the street!

Toyo MT LT385/70R16 130Q D/8 (38X15.00R16) on a  16x11 wheel at $373.00 each.

Or

Irok TrXus 38.5x14.50R16LT on a 16x12 wheel at $402.99 each.

Or

Irok TrXus 37X12.50R16LT on a 16X10 Wheel at $379.00 each.

Or

Irok 37x12.50R16LT on a 16x10 Wheel at $379.00 each.

Were do you live ? what kind of terrain do you wheel in ?   its going to be a trade off  . the iroks will perform better offroad  and will wear faster    were the Toyo will perform better on road  and last a lot longer .

[zippo [OP]]

I live in Washington. So some woods trails, rocks, mud, snow. I know there is a trade off, just want input.

iv had my toyos on my runner for 5 years and drive it on the stree daily and wheel in the snow mud and rocks and there still 80% i really like them for an all purpose tire... i want to go irocks just because my rig will be just an off road rig with hardly any street driving

id get the toyos if its going to be 50/50 drivin on and offroad

Why not go km2?

Bias Iroks wear very fast on pavement, especially in the heat. Toyos are pretty damn stiff though so...... Iroks by far better off road and Toyos last a long time on the street.... Good luck on the choice!

x2 on the km2s. very good on and off road. tho the smallest wheel size is 17" for there bigger tires. i found alumminum 17x9s for a $100 through 4wheel parts.

[kneedownnate]

I'd like to see the km2 have more siping and offer better lateral tracion before I dump so much money on them, but they are about the cheapest option for many sizes.

I'd go toyo if I had a bigger, torquier engine.

[81yotalove]

x2 on what kneedownnate said for toyo on bigger torquier engine like diesels.
but x3 on km2's. i sure like my km2's for my light yota. drives really nice on road and performs offroad. not loud in my opinion. it had definitety dakota mt's when i got it. those were louder.

but if your sticking to toyos or iroks i would say with equal mixed driving go with the toyos.

Currently running 37x14.5x15 and they perform flawlessly off road and drives quietly on pavement.

I had Swampers tsl before and I'll never buy thm again.....

A friend of mine had swampers irok and went to toyos because the performance was better and no death wobble

[zippo [OP]]

Yeah i am looking at the km2's

LT365/75R16/C BFG KM2 @ 344 each

[TacoRunner]

When I buy again, those are the ones I'll be getting.

I'd have to look into it again, but I think those only weigh like 63 pounds each too!

[THK Matt]

well going to a 16" wheel, seems to make the tires more expensive then a 15.
so go with a 15" wheel and your prices will drop. :]

I say Toyo MT's
