I'd be careful with kumho. We have had REAL bad luck with that company, at least on street tires on Mercedes. We will not recommend them any more. Just FYI.

Toyo are a bit costly, but will last a long time and look nice.

I'd prefer the Xterrains personally. I love those tires, wont last as long as a Toyo, but a little cheaper, and look MEAN.

My 2 cents.

I would say you could get 50k outta toyos

Pro-Comps: I would say 35k or so wouldn't be unreasonable. Might be able to milk it to 40k, but I am really not sure on long term. Couple wheeling buddies run em on dedicated trail rigs, so they still look new.

And I only have experience with Kumho's street tires, never their truck tires. Might be a different story, but I dont know.

yea my uncle got like 40k out of his. but he didnt rotate them much.

35k is not too bad but i would like more.

and yea i dont know anything about kumho's.

im going to probably ask someone at a tire shop and see what they have to say. because i like the look of all of those and i would like to probably get 40k or more just because i dont want to be buying new tires in like a year and a half, because i put about 13k a year on. no less maybe more.

With that much driving, I'd suggest Toyo's then.

Mine is not my DD, so I wasn't worried about mileage, more about performance

yea my truck is my DD its all i drive and its the only thing i am willing to drive haha. i hate cars. but yea i will see. i kinda want to see how they both look with that set up also. i have seen the toyos in 37" on my friends truck and they look good. but i dont think i have seen the pro comps. im sure they would look sick though.

I'd go with the Toyo Open Country M/Ts, personally. Before I sold my truck, I was so close to pulling the trigger on a set of 40x15.50R20s ... The Kuhmos suck, they are horrible offroad, and they do not last according to a lot of reviews I've read. A lot of people talk trash about the Nitto Mud Grapplers but I got about ~18,000-20,000 miles on them before I sold my truck and they had about another 10,000 miles left on them. They are loud but they perform great offroad. Personally, I loved the sound. The only time I hated them was when I drove from here (Central Florida) to north Georgia.
