Default Re: Finally ordered new tires...

Welcome to NC (when you get here...) I'm in Charlotte area and routinely cruise up to Boone and Asheville cause I like the mountains.... especially when it snows.


I read tons of reviews and the one common denominator was the Toyo's sucked in the snow and ice. Obviously no tire unless they are studded is going to do well in the ice but I did like the Toyo's in the snow. (contrary to what I had read about them)

Also, keep in mind, the Toyo's "sucking in the snow and ice" just means that they didn't perform as well as they did on pavement, rocks, sand, mud, etc, etc....

If you do a review search, you'll see that area is it's weak points. Since I don't drive much in ice (twice in 2-3 years) I thought the tires were great.

Like I said, I've got 45K on them now...pretty impressive to me for big truck tires (as opposed to my Super Swampers that fetched 12K four different times)

I've read not one thing bad about the Mickey Thompsons so I thought I would try some again.

I'll let ya'll know how they do. I'm at Nags Head today and will be driving on the beach. We'll see how an almost worn set of Toyo's works...lol.

Mark

I got 45,000 miles out of my Goodyear MTRs. I also wanted to try something different this time and went with Mickey Thompson Baja Claws. I have only had them on a short time, but so far I am very happy with them. The tread is much more aggressive, so I do not think they are going to last 45,000 miles. They are pretty quiet too, which surprised me. Tried them out on our annual Hummer Snow run a couple of weeks ago and they performed better than the MTRs.
