How do you like the Toyo's so far?

Thus far I really like them a lot. I was really impressed at how well they balanced. There wasn't a one of them that took any more than 1oz of weight. Two of them took 1/4 oz to get balance!! They are really round. Some bigger tires have a lot of hop...not these. They seem to run best using your pressures. I set them at 37 front and 34 rear. That gives full width contact. They have next to zero tire howl. You can hear it a tad when you accelerate thru 20 mph...then it is gone. They are very quiet. I give them full marks and two thumbs up. But then...they are really expensive...that part sucks.

I hear ya on the price, seems everything is getting expensive. My tires ran around 325 each but for 37's its not to bad. Im at the point where I have more money spent in upgrades than I paid for the truck but it beats a new truck payment

So every time I buy some new toys for the truck..I tell the wife..."Well it is a helluva lot less than 40 Grand!"

I hear ya both on that. New trucks have alot of plastic and crap like that. You just can't beat good ole fashioned american steel! Tough trucks. Worth every penny you spend on them.
