Worst Tires I've ener bought!

[pepecat]

I have heard nothing but good things about the toyo m55 in the 265/75 r16E 10 plys

they are supposed to wear great last long nad have great traction with little noise

 

[Cummins Pilot]

Anyone know how Toyos they work on ice? My BFG mudterrains are about done. These things are like ball bearing on ice. I want something that I can run year round but have good-excellent manners on ice since I live in a place where the road ices 6-7months of the year.

I had good luck with the Yokohama Geolander A/T's. They got noisy (part due to alignement issues... cupping) at the very end, but that is the hardist part of the tire. Great in the snow, good on wet roads. The only thing I noticed (I'm an aggressive driver) was when they were new they seemed "squishy" like the tread would move under the weight. After about 6,000 miles it went away and they were great. I would have bought another set, but I wanted to go more aggressive. So I went with the Kuhmo Venture MT's. So far (the truck hasn't been on the road much) I like them alot.

Are these the Toyos rated at 3700+ pounds?



I was thinking about buying the BFG's or the Toyo's in 285/75 R16 size for the exact same reason as Gary, plus they haul more weight than 265/75 R16's which are rated at about 3400 pounds. For now it seems I am leaning toward the Toyo's.

I put a set of the Kuhmo AT KL-78s on my 02 and love them. I went up to the 285's and paid $105 per tire. I have almost 10k on them now and they are wearing pretty good. They have just a hint of road noise when the windows are open. I would go with another set of these in a heartbeat.

TOYO #@$%! WOULD WALK BEFORE BUYING AGAIN !!!!!!!!!!!!

ya gotta give more info than that if you want people to listen to your opinion. Posting what you just did without any reasons or intelligent sounding backround on your statement, it proves nothing.



I hate it when people spout off about hating something, and never give a reason why. Please, inform us why you disliked them, as from what I have read about them, Toyos kick some serious *** in the tire world.

The one gents spare tire looks very close to the exhaust so hope it doesn't melt the tire ??? I would wrap it with some sort of temperature cloth.

I wouldnt worry too much. When I had 285's on my 1/2 ton, the dual exhaust actually touched the tire. I never did have any issues with the tire melting. It did leave a "hardened" area on the rubber, but maybe the size of a quarter, and that was only where it actually touched it. Had it like that for over 2 years.

Parnelli Jones sucks more!

I have a craptacular set of 35x12. 5x17 Parnelli Jones tires on my 99 and they flat out suck. For the first couple thousand miles they handled so bad it was scary. Impossible to stay in one lane and tracked all over from any road imperfections. I had just taken off a set of 33 in Interco Trxus MT's. they ran for 30k, tracked well and were fairly quiet to boot. they also worked great in all conditions. The truck handled perfectly, rode smooth and tracked straight as an arrow. And the parnelli's have now begun cuppung severely. And no my truck didn't magically go out of alignment. The tires just SUCK!!!



Balancing them was an even funnier joke. I got them in and mounted them myself, put some Dynabead in them and that didn't work. Tried different amounts of the product and still couldn't get them to even out at any speed. Had them broken down. Cleaned out the dyna bead, spun the tires on the wheels and remounted then spin balanced them. Yeah, 18 oz on one, the rest we stopped putting on weights at 22 oz. Still effing SUCKED!!! So once again, rebalance. I tracked down a tire shop that would handle the 35's (Moore Hummer in Chantilly VA) and took them in there. They have a Hunter RFV 9700 balancer. Those guys checked the tires and wheels out then thried to balance them. Runout measurements of nearly an inch preclude any possible balancing. But after a couple of hours they got them close. They still beat the crap out of me and vibarate and track funny. I called the dealer and he said he wouldn't do anything. East Coast Tires was the dealer. That guy is a prick and I highly advise to stay away from him. I then called the manufacturer, he wouldn't do anything because ti wasthe dealers problem, sorry. Click.



The dealer busily began saying I didn't know what I was talking about and that big tires vibrate. Also that the shops I was using didn't know what the were doing etc... . Well, yeah, big tires do vibrate. the dozen or so sets of tires I have gone through in the 40 inch and up range have vibrated some. But they were at least ROUND! And they still didn't vibrate as much as these 35's.



I have never had such a bad customer relation experience as East Coast Tires and Parnelli Jones Incorporated.

Gary,



those tires will make more noise as they wear. Noise is not bad for a M/T tire, but it is noticeable just prior to my rotations every 5K.



However, they wear like iron. I have over 40K on mine and they still have got a alot of miles left. They work good in the wet and are hard to overpower. The factory Michelins I could blow off the trucj at will. These things still stick even when wet.



Also, for anyone that wants a tire that will hold up. Siping a tire is the fastest way to wear a tire out. I know, I know, it runs cooler with all those little slits. It also allows the tread to squirm at will and that creates heat on the surface. Also, a siped tire always feels looser than an unsiped one. They do work better in the rain though.

No problem with the Toyo AT's in a 265 on my 96'. Had 20k on the tires when I sold the truck. They still had plenty of tread left. The company I work for also use Toyo AT's on all 3/4ton and above trucks with no problems.

 

[schlack]

I have changed tires for three years and I will never buy a tire that comes on a vechicle stock. I'm going to buy new tires for my truck and I will be getting the toyo A/T in a 2857017 not siped. best tire for the buck in my opnion.

 

[CPittman]

I'm with JGK... the Toyo AT's are nice, but they just don't last. I'll be pushing it to get 30K out of this set. I have no idea how they perform in the wet since it hasn't rained here in north TX since I put them on last fall.



If it ain't gonna rain, I'm going back to the stock BFG Rugged Trails - I was able to squeeze about 45K of service life out of those...

 

[schlack]

The toyo comes with a 50k mile warrenty and they do good in the rain and snow from what I've heard.

 

[dodgeguy44]

We run the BFG Rugged Trail 265's on all our work trucks and they all get a minimum of 75,000 kilometers(47000 miles) and up to 105000(65000) with good traction and little noise. The trucks run 80% highway and 20% offroad and gravel. Wouldn't buy anything else. I wish they would make them for my dually.

I recommend Pro Comp Mud Terrains. I've had them on a lifted '98 F-150 SC SWB 4x4 and on a lifted '05 Dmax CC SWB 4x4. They were great in snow, on ice and rain. Right now I have Mastercraft Courser C/Ts and they are pretty good on wet roads.

Procomp Extreme At

Had procomps at's just got the EXTREMES LOVE them Oo.

 

[Fishin Guide]

I absolutely hated the Procomp MTs I had on the truck. Very noisey and extremely rapid wear. Also, they did not wear even no matter what. This was with a 315 on a 10" wheel.
