Actually, we had this conversation on Facebook the other day. He's running a pretty high powered truck, and even on my CTD (with 1/3 the power and 1/2 the torque he's got), the material on them is soft enough and the tread tall enough, that the tend to need to be rotated a lot, due to the tread wearing as it flexes.

Toyo M/T's are working pretty well for me so far. Many of my customers like them too. A lot of guys run them on their 3/4 or 1 tons and can't say anything bad about them

Oh I know my 37 bias iroks are quiet on the tb compared to the stupid guard dogs in a 32. But need something real for my duramax's no fake tires.

I have a buddy that tows every day with his ram 2500 and he loves them. They look really good and he already has 40ish on them looks like they are wearing very well.

I think Cooper is one of the few that make a 255-85-16. I think it may be my next tire.

Only mud tire I know of that has a 60K expectancy. I actually had a customer, who was diligent with his rotate and air checks, get 100K miles out of it.
