maybe these tires would be better on a smaller vehicle, but on my f-250, they have literally fallen apart in less than 10,000kms. Decent traction on and off road, but if you even consider driving on gravel then buy something else unless you like buying new tires every 12,000kms

these are the worst tires Ive ever owned. They came with my truck when i bought it and were nearly new at the time, 6 months later, all 4 have huge chunks missing out of the lugs and the rears look as if somone took a cheese grater to them (no I'm not driving like a rally racer or doing burnouts). I would not recommend these tires to anyone, they are absolute garbage

I've had two of them blow out on me (highway driving) at less than 20,000 mi. Post mortem exam suggests to that the sidewalls may be relatively weak. Unable to determine the cause of either failure.

dont trip on tha price i have a set of 40x15.5r22's. very expensive but its a fair trade off for a mud tire that has many gook qualities. i have them on a 2002 chevy 3/4 ton crewcab with a 14 inch body lift an 3 inch body lift. if i can say these are good tires that are balanced quiet an ride good then you know its an awesome tire.

I have a pair of 33x12.50x20's on my 2007.5 Chevrolet 2500 CC Duramax 4x4. I rotate my tires at 10,000 intervals and have put 53,000 miles on my 1st set. I expect to run them for another 10K miles before I will replace them. The tread wear has been perfect (no cupping, edging, etc), however 90% of my driving is highway/interstate driving. I've had BFG MT's, Wrangler MT's, Swampers, etc....all of which have never lasted this long. I'm very impressed w/ the life of these MT's. They are a very heavy tire, but when balanced properly seem to have no tread vibration. The noise is a bit more than my BFG MT's, but less than the Wrangler MT's or Swampers. If TOYO could figure out a way to bring the price down on them, they would capture a larger segment of buyers. Great tire.....

I went back to the bias ply Swamper TSL but am prepared to pay the price. I don’t mean money either; frankly you can get a set of TSLs or LTBs very reasonably price wise but there are other prices to pay. I think I am having a mid-life crisis myself so there are things I put up with for riding Swampers. First of all there is the howl. I mean OTR truckers hold their ears when they pass me on the highway. Personally, I love the sound but it is louder than my 351 vented through duel Thrush glass-packs. For the first fifteen minutes of the trip they will shake your dental work loose, (until they warm up.) I can’t drive faster than 70 or they start to feel squirrely. That number goes lower if there are high crosswinds as there often are where I live. My wife will not ride in the truck with me. (This could be good or bad depending on your perception; the dog however loves it….) I got mine used because the guy that bought them new, lifted his truck, had his tires for one day, brought them back and went back to street tires cause they scared him. Swampers will maximize your skills when off road. They can lug their way out of ruts you had no business being in the first place but they are NOT a great street tire if you can’t live with their issues.
All that said, these tires are phenomenal off-road. If your concern is off-road performance above all else, and you don’t mind driving a little slow and rotating your tires regularly then this is the tire for you. I love the way the 32-9s look on my unlifted Bronco but the performance off-road is why I put up with the road manners.
