I have my set of Gateway Buckshot Mudders on a '77 Dodge W-150 SB Club-Cab Step/Side with '72 RV 413 c.i. BB, with 75 gals of fuel, 727 Auto, 4" Spring Lift custom rear leafs (More leafs than on a 1-ton). I had Q/78/15's(28")first then I got R/85/15's(36")in 1986 as Blem's $100 each. In '88 a newer Chev-Nova pulled out in front of me at 45 mpr I went over-top of them, did a 180 backwards into a ditch. If my truck had not been lifted and with 36" tires we would have had some fatalitys. This was when I put a Step-Side bed on my Club-Cab truck. They made Radials and in '99 I got 1 as spare a 315/85/R15LT (37"). I've got over 34,200 miles and still have 13/32 of life to go, they are dryrotted and cracking on sidewalls (Bad for towing the Race-Car). I have spent lots of time on all the Web-Sites like Craigslist, E-Bay to find some radials, I might have to change to a 16"-17"-18" rim as all new tires are 12.50's or more wide (The ones that have any height to them) my rims are 8.5" wide. The tire company's give you the taller height but you have a wider tire that will just float on top instead of getting down and biting like the old R/85's do!?
I´m running a set of 315/75R16 on my F150 4x4 Diesel truck. Till now, 24.000 km and the tires are far from the middle of the wear life! They went in every place with a decent performance and are a good surpreise on the road, even in wet pavement.

Update from Action Jackson posted on 1/23/12. The Toyo AT's went another 5000 and still had some tread left. With the rain and snow right around the corner, they went the distance and it was time to say good bye. When the Toyo HT's I'm currently running for summer and spring, wear down, I will be repalcing them with the Toyo AT's as my summer tire. Excellent product on 3/4 ton trucks carrying loads in all kinds of weather. Even tire wear, quite running and good traction in rain, snow and gravel. Not bad in the mud either. Buy a set and you won't be sorry.

I've had 3 sets of these tires (285 75 16) now. I have a 3/4 ton truck that is a work truck. I am completely disgusted with maxxis tires. Each set of tires I've had at least one tire in the set of 4 seperate from the inside and creat a huge bubble in the tire. Ruins the tire. I always check and keep proper psi, and never overload the tires. Always rotated every 6,000 miles. When the tires seperate they have less than 10,000 miles on them but are about 3 years old. This truck doesn't get a lot of miles on it but is always stored in garage unless rolling down the road. I don't know where I went wrong. I feel stupid for buying additional maxxis tires after the first tire came apart. I will NEVER buy another maxxis tire for a work truck or any truck I own for that matter. I am totally disgusted!!!!!!!!!!!! F$&k maxxis tires!!!!!

Honestly I cant believe all the negative reviews about the the blow outs and all. These have been by far the best tires I have ever bought. I have a 05' f350 and run 35x12.50 18's.I bought them back in 2008, I currently have 94,000 miles(they really need to be replaced, but still not bald(I was religious about rotations)) I work on the pipeline and have spent a lot time off road in rough terrain(mud,sand,snow,ice, uncleared land, we were the clearing crew and I'm the inspector so my truck is where i spend most of my time) and never been stuck or popped a tire. I've hauled my 13000 lb fifth wheel all over the country. Ive flown down many a mile on gravel roads, I am definitely going to buy another set. Hopefully they are as good as these were, like I said I have 94,000 miles 1/3 of which has been running up and down the right of way, before and after its been cleared. Maybe I got lucky, but bar none best set of tires I have ever bought.

I have had these tires for about two weeks now. I know that's not long enough for a very detailed review but I am satisfied so far. They are quiet for a mud tire, my commute is around 100 miles a day and I have not noticed any real issues thus far. I have 33x12.50 on a z71 1500. I have had the boggers, mud grapplers, kuhmo kl78s, Mickey thompson MT, BFG MT and all terrain, and the maxxis mudders. I have has pros and cons with all sets of tires. I'm hoping that with how much these tires cost me I will get good use out of them. However I will most likely invest in a set of M16s before they completely wear out. But the toyos do have a slight hum but nothing to much and are rather smooth for a 33 on a 20 inch rim.

Bought tires for my Dodge dually and were great up until they had around 25k miles. Within 2 months I had the belts split on 2 of them. Dick Cepek said they still had 1/2 the tread left on them but wouldn't cover or be willing to even dicount another set for me...very poor customer service!!!

Searched a long time for econimical agressive tires to go on my '02 Silverado 2500HD ( 285/70R17 D ). Read lots of reviews. Bought these pretty much solely on those reviews. NOT DISSAPOINTED AT ALL. I have run these for one year and can't give enough praise! The are quiet on the freeway, Clean well in mud, great in deep snopw, and seem to be wearing well. The only complaint that I have is that they pick up lots of 3/4" rocks. Mud flaps are a must but I would expect that from any agressive tire.

I have them on my 09 f150. there is 100k on them and I have only rotated them once. I am due for new tires now the tread is in the yellow zone on my depth guage. They were a great tire but I think I will go back to the Toyo had them on my 07 f150.
Btw I live in Canada and work in rail yards so the tires are expossed to several different types enviroments
