They lasted about half the time as the bf goodrich at's did.

I just put a set of toyo m/t's on my '06 250 CC 6.0 and as far as road noise goes, they are louder than the factory rubber(BFG rugged trail), but only noticeable over 70-80 Km/H, and certainly not annoyingly loud. As for traction, we got 4 in. of snow the day I put them on and my old tires required me to be in 4x4 to get moving with any urgency (ie. pulling out onto a busy road), but in 2wd with the M/T's I had a hard time to break them loose. Absolutely amazed at the traction these things deliver and I had NO weight in the box. Can't comment on wear with only 4 days on them them, but all other aspects seem to be 1st class. Also asked the dealer to balance the wheels on the inside if it was possible, and it was. hardly required any weight at all to do it too. Did I mention how many people do a double take when they look at my tires................... I don't think you'll be disapointed!

Im going to change brands on you but look at the Cooper ST they are not a AT or a MT they are inbetween and we run them on our F350 welder truck and they have held up great for the past 3 years of extream duty mud, sand, gravel , and a little ice we dont get much snow in MS and dont hum bad on the road with all the weight that is on them .

Rough Country 41/2" kit will except 36x13.50x18. This is my problem some say 6" tp put 36x13.50x18 and then I talk to a online dealer and they tell me I need a 8" kit.I can not get a straight answer. I want 36x13.50x18 tires on a 18x10 8-170 51/2" backspace rims. What lift kit manufacture will be the best for the tire size that I want. I need anyones in-put or photos please. I am 52 years old and before I die I want a lifted F350 Diesel. Please help me out I am just confused with talking to dealers I need to talk to people who has purchased and installed a lift kit for 36" tires. Thank you I allready feel a little better.
