Man these Toyo MT's make the truck pull to the right. I thought it was my truck, lift and or alignment, but everything is good. I guess it is a problem with these tires.

Switch around the two front tires and see if the pull goes away.

I have been hearing the exact opposite. Most people are saying they are the best tire you can buy right now. Be sure you check air pressure in each as well.

Based on my experience, the Toyo MT's are the best mud tires I've ever purchased. Track dead straight and are easy to balance. Quiet, too, as long as you keep them rotated.

You may have a radial pull. As stated previously, swap the fronts side to side and see if there's a change...

if you swap them side to side and it pull the other direction take them back a puller tire is a defect and the retailer should replace it. if it doent change swap the rears i have seen a rear tire to the same.

I've had three pairs of Toyo MT's never had any problems with pulling to either side. Like said above check air pressure and maybe balancing and alignment, my opinion they are the best MT tire on the market, I hope you have better luck with yours.

I have them and they pull to the right definitly. I would rather pull to the right than oncoming traffic anyday.

pull to the right is a known problem with these tires, they track to the right because of the crown in the road.

If they pull you generally have to stagger the caster to get them to drive straight. They get better as they wear in a bit.

Thanks, I'll play around with them a bit. Tire pressure and alignment are fine. The roads are fairly crownd around here. I am having to keep the wheel turned to the left a bit, more often then I think I should..

What size are the Toyos ,and what size were the tires (stock?)you replaced ?

Toyos typically run wider than most , and the wider the tire , the more likely they are to pull to one side.
