I saw a set of those. Look to be the same tread as the Toyo MT's. But they dont have the same payload.

I have never run these tires but I did watch a buddy of mine (on a Toyota) go through several sets over the course of a couple of years. From what I have heard (a tire dealer here in town confirmed this) these tires use a very soft tread compound that wears out quickly. They look cool but from what I have seen and heard I would have to recommend staying away unless you have the money to buy tires annually.

Just my input.

Thanks for the link info. The tires that I was refering to earlier were the old Cooper STT Radials...... It sounds like this new variant has a new tread compound from the article.
