Anyone have the 285/75R18 Toyo MT's yet? I have an 08 with factory 18'' wheels and I'm interested in this tire. However, I wish not to add a leveling kit or lift so I'm hoping someone has real world experience with these tires on a factory suspension.

 

EDIT:Sorry, double post.

 

I would like something a little bit taller than the 275/70 stock units, without having to go much wider (narrower for the snow we get up here). I am gonna keep an eye on this thread.

 

I would like to see a pic of them mounted to, that is the same size I want

The TOYO M/T is a great tire. I had a set of 37x10.50x22's and I had over 30K on them and they still had a good bit of tread left. I had them balanced when I put them on and never had to do it again. They rode great and are an awesome tire. That is why I am getting another set.

Well I stopped by my local tire dealer and he quoted me $255 a tire for the 285/75 18E Toyo MT's. Of course mounting and balancing will run an additional 90.00 dollars. I do want these tires as I don't care for the looks of the stock Continentals with the make belive A/T tread. Now I need to get the wife on board (not likely).

On a side note do you think I could get $400 dollars for 4 used Continentals with 7000 miles on them if I used a classified site like Craigslist.

 

If you get them would you take a picture for us? I took my stock 18" Cont. off with 5000k on them. I ended up selling them for $200. I put an ad in the paper, thrifty nickel, and on craigs list for $400 with no responses. I sell trees to a lot of landscapers and one of them just bought an 06 like mine. I told him I had them and he bought them real quick. Much cheaper than the $1100 I paid for my BFG ATO. On a side note, how does the tire fitment compare from the 06 to the 08. Can an 08 run a larger tire stock wothout any lift. Good luck with the tires. As for your wife, mine, or any other, It is easier to beg for forgiviness than to ask permission! LOL, Levi

 

I just remembered this thread from almost a year ago (see below). It has pictures of the Toyo Mt's in the stock 275/70R 18E size with no lift. According to Toyo's website the 275's are 33.6''H X 11.0''W while the 285's are 35.1''H X 11.6''W.

I'll be honest, I'm torn between the 275 vs. 285 as I think the 275's look good too. Also, I would like my speedometer to be accurate and the Toyo 285's have a rev's per mile of 591. According to a previous poster the minimum I can program my PCM to is 600 rpm's.

Good news though, I think I have the wife on board as long as I wait a month or so. I'll post pics when I do something.

Thread from last year.

Thanks for the pics. Those do look nice! I am going to check around here and see if I can get a price. Last time I checked no one could, or should I say wanted to get them. I am still not sure if the 285s will fit w/out a leveling kit. Levi

 

I know mud terrains are technically not supposed to be that good for snow use but do you guys think the Toyo MT's would be better than my stock Conti's in the snow? My Conti's are the make believe A/T's

 

I think anything is better than the stock Conts. They are a very unagressive AT Tire, at least thats my opinion. Great for cruising the Hwy with a load, but even a dew on the grass and I was putting it in 4 High. I switched to BFG shortly after I bought the truck (5k), and they have been a great tire. We run MTs in the snow without much trouble. They are studded though, and I think a skinnier tire does better, that is why I am interested in this size, they are only like 11.5" wide, and will fit on my stock wheel. For deep snow they should be fine, not sure about ice. I think I will get them siped (spelling???) if possible, rather than studded. I can't wait for my BFG to wear out. Anyone want to $$$ my tires with 25k on them. Good shape and rotated every 5k. LOL Levi

 

I have 33/12.5/18 on my 01 v10 Toyo MT's and love them. They are incredible in the snow, I use them form plowing, and cant believe how I have yet to get stuck like I used to with the SSR'S.

 

I'm glad to hear they perform decent. No doubt Levi'sford that the Contis are pretty lame once off the pavement. Hopefully I'll have the cabbage to purchase a set of Toyo's in a month or two.

 

Here's a picture of mine (285/75R16) with 15k on them. Not the best pic, but these babies seem to ride and ware pretty good (they should for the money you pay for them).

Nice pic, they look real good. I am also excited about the load rating on the 285s, over 4000lbs per tire. I pull heavy once in a while. Do you think I will have to re-gear? Currently have the 3.73. Any idea on price for these bad boys? Levi

 

My dealer quoted me $255 a tire for the 285's.
