For a MT, they're perfect. They do howl, A BIT. I have Load E and my TB rides like a Cadillac.

That's just through Les Schwab. I can't speak for other retailers.

I'll post a few pieces of advice that will guide in obtaining the best tire life possible.

The two BIGGEST issues when it comes I get the life out of your tires are AIR CHECKS and ROTATIONS.

Low air pressure causes uneven wear on the inner and outter edges of the tires. Too much air pressure causes accelerated wear in the center of the tread. It's important to find the balance that best suits your particular setup.

When it comes to rotations, each point in your suspension causes the tire at that location to wear a center way due to the geometry of the system itself. Rotating the tires REGULARLY allows them time at each point and betters your chances of even wear.

Another thing to consider in tire life is shock absorber life.

A shock absorber aids in ride comfort and also helps keep your tire firmly planted on the road. When your shock is weak, the spring allows the tire to "bounce" at the will of the road your on. This allows the tire to take on, for a lack of better terms, any shape it pleases. Feathering, cupping, and even separation can be the outcomes of this.

The last thing to consider is alignment.

For some of us, obtaining a perfect alignment is no longer possible because of our lift configurations. However, those with mild lifts can still obtain accurate measurements. When your car is out of alignment, that doesn't mean it will pull to one direction. When there is excessive toe in, the vehicle will not pull, but will quickly wear the outter edge of the tire. So, that being said I would recommend any time you purchase a new set of tires, have the vehicle aligned. It is but a small amount to protect your new investment

This insight is what I have been recommending to my customers for the past 4 years. If anybody ever had any questions, ill be happy to help any way I can.

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

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.

Either the Toyo MT or a 10 ply semi-aggressive all terrain equivalent. Your gonna want something with good bite. I would recommend the Toyo MT, the Toyo AT II, the Nitto Terra Grappler, or the Hankook AT/M. Make sure that whatever you get is a Load E (10 ply).
