Toyos for the win

I will NEVER buy bf's again. Had one fail at the sidewall/tread start in a parking lot and I did not hit anything. The hole was dime sized which meant if I did hot something, it would have gone flat in 50' or less. The second set had a golf ball size bubble at the sidewall. Both sets of tires had less than 25k miles. POS tires..... never again

Toyo E rated tires for the last 8 years and not one issue.
Good luck

I will be going back to Toyo this next time. Bought new KO2 not long before traveling the US pulling the 5th wheel. They will be lucky to make it to 25,000.

Had a young man come to install my cable system, he has a 2006 6.0L. He was tickled about his new KO2 tires. I walked him over to mine. Not so tickled anymore.

Thanks everyone for the feedback! The toyos seem like a good tire. I'm assuming the MT that is being run is the 35x12.5x18? The 12 ply rating is only available in this size and a few others.

So if I was to go with this size, it's pretty wide and I'm guessing I would have to raise the front end. I'm ok with that, I just want to plan it all out. Truck needs new shocks anyways so might as well do it all at once.
