Anybody riding TOYO Open Country M/T tires? How are they? What's the size?
It would be nice to see few pictures of them in action.
Thanks!

325/12.50-18. Extremely quiet for a mud tire. I'd say they almost ride like stock. I had Nitto Mud Grapplers and they were too loud.

THANKS GUYS!
but, I can't find the size you have. Not on Toyo's home page or 1010tires.com? Do you think 37x13.50R18 is too big without a lift?

Would you mind measuring how far you tires come outside the fender flares? I'm wondering if 13.50's would stay inside...
thanks

They extend past the flares approx 4.5 inches.

The plate had to be cut in 1/2. They cut it so there were small tabs on the back of it so it slid under the cross member.

PhilD; when you say backspacing are you referring to the offset?
And if the offset is too deep, doesn't it wear the suspension parts faster?
I would like to have a deeper offset with a wider tire.( and a small lift.) Isn't stock 6.5?
I run the BFG MT in 35"x12.5x17. They do not rub inside anymore. I like them for mud because of the traction on the sidewall, but I really like the looks of those Toyo's. How do they perform you guys?

There is added stress on the front end. The front suspension is nothing but a lever and you are moving the weight and pressure further out on the lever. I suspect if anything at all, though, adjustments to the stock torsion bars, or stronger replacements, would be the only issue besides possibly having to adjust the tow.

What kind of wheels are those? Did you have a hard time balancing them? Do you have any shaking at highway speeds 70 to 80 miles an hour?

The tires are Toyo Open Country M/T's. At any speed I still maintain that they are no louder than the stock BFG's. I've had these on for about a month. The Nitto Mudd Grapplers I had on our Pewter H2 were extremely loud at any speed and had all the driving characteristics of a mud tire. Toyo, however, has developed a mud tire that drives like a all terrain tire. I love the Toyos!

Thanks for the info on the tires!!
What kind of chrome wheels do you have?
Do you get any vibration or shaking with them at higher speeds 70 to 80 mph?
Did you have a hard time getting them balanced?

Brad,
The wheels are Kaotic NT-2's and tires are 325/12.50-18's. They balanced easily and the fastest I've driven this H2 is 75 mph. At that speed the tires were very stable with no vibration. I wouldn't expect it to be different at 85 either.
Please note that the Kaotic's have a very deep dish and the wheels/tires stick out of the wheel well about 2 inches. I'm planning on getting some fender flares from E&G Customs.
