New TOYO AT2 sizes
#16
#17
They balanced with minimal weight and have stayed balanced.
This size max pressure is 80 PSI and I've settled on running 58 PSI unloaded and the ride is considerably better than the Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armors they replaced. I've only aired up for one trip towing about 10,000lbs on a goose-neck so I haven't really stressed them much but they rode fine.
They were a bit slick for the first hundred miles. After breaking them in they handle great on the highway. I've only had them off road in fields and around some lakes but they provided great traction, amazing for an AT. They grip extremely well in the rain. I'm looking forward to seeing how they do in snow.
They are softer than the Wranglers so they probably won't hold up as well to heavy towing on gravel roads but I'm confident I'll get much better highway millage out of them. Surprisingly my miles per gallon have only marginally decreased considering these are about 2" taller and 1/2" wider than my old Wranglers.
I think they look great on my OEM 18's.
I can hear a faint hum from these Toyos. Very slight, but present.
I would buy these tires again, and enthusiastically.
I've been having a series of computer catastrophes but I'll post up some pictures by tomorrow night.

I bought the AT2's in 295/70R18's. I've put about 1,000 miles on them. So far so good.

Pulled the trigger report
Based on all the help and info shared here I upgraded my 2011 F350 SRW 4x4 tires from Conti 275/70R18 to new TOYO AT II 285/75R18. I tow a heavy 5th wheel or 11'6 pickup truck camper mostly freeway plus hunt a bit off road.
I jumped up from 3460 to 4080 max tire load at 80 psi so more payload headroom and have a comfy unloaded ride at 65 psi. Very little sidewall flex when towing heavy. My 6.7 lost less than 1 mpg in unloaded stop and go driving and remains unchanged in freeway driving. I don't notice any loss of power on the low-end and my cruising rpms have dropped a little so not a bad tradeoff for a highway hauler that no longer gets stuck in wet grass, snow on grass, grass, etc.
PS: I also upgraded spare and installed an extra exhaust shield so I dont cook the larger spare. All good.
