I'm ready for a new set of tires and almost bought the Nittos. From the research I have done, most of the nittos are done in 20K miles. A few like AkitaSumo get lucky and get some decent mileage out of them. For me, too much $$ to take a chance and only get 20k miles out of a set.

Iam gona have to throw the BS flag on that! I have ran two sets of the Nitto Mud Grapplers and I have gotten 30k at the least and I tow a 9k tractor on a pretty heavy flatbed gooseneck. My brother runs them on his welding rig and he treats tires pretty bad, believe it or not he ran the muddgrapplers for 28k and then he bought BFG mud terrains and wore them bald at 26k.

im partial to the toyo open country ats'. i got almost 50k outta my last set on my previous dodge. right now ive got the cooper stt,s. cant wait for them to wear out so i can go back to the toyos. im not a mud tire fan. too noisy and dont do so hot on icy and snowpack roads.
so there's my 2 cents, for what its worth. i suppose.

I've been hammering and I mean hammering my Hankook Dana Pro ATM's... I think there also $165 a tire at Discount tire.com... 
Hualing all my Elk hunting stuff, 2, 4 wheelers, tents everything you would need when out in "BFE" on and on, up and down dirt roads and HWY... I've had them for 9 months or so and haven't rotated them and the rears still look good! atleast 80% 
For the price and load range "E" tire, I have been really happy with em'... http://www.discounttiredirect.com/di...naPro+ATM+RF10
I will be buying them again, Hope this helps...

Firestone has just released E rated Destination MTs in 285/70 17 and 317/70 17. Nitto has a new tire out called Trail Grappler that looks a lot like the Toyo MT available in 295/70 17. Lots of good reviews on the Firestones on Tire Rack's website.

You're experiencing right pull do to the increased rolling friction and surface area of the Toyo MT's. Most roads crown to the right for drainage and the tire's feeling it. A Fox stabilizer from Don Thuren is pressurized and induces a slight left drift as the shock wants to expand,thus neutralizing the mild pull you're experiencing. I'm running 285's and had to drop the stock psi as it induces the left drift due to smaller tires. I love the 315+ tires but will probably stay with the 285-75-17 Toyo AT's again as I'm certain fuel will be back to $4.00/gal. soon. The Toyos are stupid strong and flat resistant also.

Thanks for the reply. I have had probably 10 sets of BFG AT's and the newer AT KO's on 4 ctd in the last 15 years. I really like them but they worry me with a load. I know they make the K/) in and "e" rating for a 16" wheel but not for 17" yet. Does the new Nitto come in 35" and is it made of a harder rubber? Thanks again.

High cost for beach access?
Speaking of beach sand,I saw a photo of a vehicle permitted beach on the east coast where the daily access fee is $90.00. Is that real? Jeez!

I did have a job where I pulled 2 different trailers and I need the "e" rating for one of the loads I pulled regularly. The last 12 mos I have had neither job but have still been putting miles on my truck and realized something. My toyo's are wearing like they did with big loads without big loads . I put 20k on a fresh set of 4 and they were done. I got 2 new ones put em on the front took the best 2 of the orig 4 and put them on the back. The new ones on the front have about 12k on them and they were done. I know about alignment issue and about how scrubbing will wear out your tires prematurely but trust me the pressure, alignment, and rotation has been monitored and done since the first 4 were new. I was talking to BOSSHOGG the other day as I havn't seen him in a while (new baby) and he noticed it. He has the exact same suspension mods as me and we got our first 4 toyos within weeks of each other. He said his tires were toast too. I guess my ? is what tire is next. I want a 35/315 and would really like an "E" rating. Also a quick note. The rears wore out on the first set like the fronts so alignment was not the issue. We both had XLR8TR do our alignments and then I have had my alignment done 2 times since...Thanks
My tire pressure was around 40 PSI.
This is fact no BS.

Never heard of it. I pay $65/year for my surf tag. This also includes free admission to any state park.

only tow couple times a year 12-14K. My truck used to be lifted 6" and I got a little over 50K out of my 37" toyo m/t's, no bs. still had some life left in them. Now stock height and running 285/18 toyo a/t's have about 11K on them and so far they are wearing great.

I have been running Trailcutter's for the past 7 years. They are a very impressive tire. They are an allterrain tire, but their durability has made they very popular out here in eastern MT. They don't clean mud as well as some of the MT. But the load range E tires have good traction and perform very well on pavement.
