I drive a 05 dodge six inch lift i bought a set of toyo 37x12.50x17 in january got around 19k or so and are almost bald. I do alot of freeway driving and have a classic car i take to shows and other events so alot of miles are pulling a trailer and 3000 pound car. My  work is only 15 or so miles a day so most of my miles are on trips. I was just curious about what some of you guys were running and what kind of mileage people are getting cause i dont really want to spend another $1,500 on toyos and be bald six months later again any info be great thanks alot!!!! I was thinking maybe a mickey thompson mtz or maybe a wrangler mtr. it would be hands down a original bfg mud terrain but now that they went to a km2 i dont know much about them or know any one who has ran one do they get the mileage of a original mud terrain? I have always had big trucks with swampers or boggers never a freeway cruiser untill i bought this in january and put the toyos on it so dont got the knowledge really......   thanks again

What are  you looking for? Good mileage and a quite ride or low mileage and a harsh ride?

If you want them to last and be comfortable you want an AT, and MT will wear quick and could be harsh and loud. I would suggest the Nitto Terra Grappler (I have these and after 15,000 miles they are wearing great)or a BFG AT.

Then you don't want an MT. You need an AT tire to get the good wear on a big truck.
