Toyo tires

Well guys...

I was finally going to bite the bullet and buy some tires today for the ole' truck.

I've got an '05 F-150 FX4 with a 2 1/2 leveling kit and an extra set of 2" blocks in the back, with factory 18's.

It looked like my two options were either the 305-65-18 BFG's or the 285-75 Toyo AT's. The BFG's were way too expensive so I opted for the Toyo's.

Only thing is, the Toyo's aparently don't exist. I've heard stories about them and have even seen them on a couple tire selling websites. But, they are not on Toyo's website and I can't get them through any of the tire shops around town. What gives? I can't afford the shipping for the ones I found online as specialy since I don't even know if they really exist.

So, what else is out there in a 35ish tall all terrain that will fit on a stock wheel and not rub?

Wait,

I just saw the post about the Toyo MT's.

I saw the size I wanted in the AT's at Tradedepot.com as the thread suggested. Anyone have much dealings with them?

Are any of you running the 285-75-18? Thoughts?

I got the 285-75-18 toyo mt's. Awsome so far. Fit well too. Treadepot.com cheapest price, free shipping. Took about a week cause they had to order them from toyo though.

I just checked out that treadepot.com and their prices didnt seem that great. I know Toyo M/T are expensive but damn.

I am looking to get 295/70/17's and Im lookin at $253 a tire (cheapest, local)

Have you tested them in the mud yet, maxout05?

toyo's cost me less then or equal to all tires in thier class. Every tire I looked at for my truck was almost the same price as these, including bfg at. I dont see how everone think they are so much more. 1000 for tires is alot anyway, so I oted to spend 1100 to get the better tire.
Btw the way these are the **** in the snow!! they blow through it like it's rain!!
