Just put these on the 3500, really smooth ride, much better than my 33 12.50 Mud Terrains. does anyone run these? how do you like them? durability/ good life if rotating every 3k miles?

thanks for any insight.

Mine have 5k on them now......Casper will be getting some new 5W40 Rotella-T, Fleetguard fuel filter, and rotation Saturday. I tweaked my air pressure some to help reduce the "loose" feel due to large voids and tread squirm. We have a Hunter road force balancer at S&S Tire where I work, and they balance out nicely.............the most road force any tire had was 14 lbs......not bad at all given the tread design.

Overall I've been very pleased with them

They are not E Rated - something to keep in mind - there are many D rated tires that meet of exceed the load ratings of E rated tires

Les Schwab in Boise. they don't make a 33 12.50 17 in the Toyo MT's so I opted for these. they are D range, I think 3195 lbs. they are only an 8 ply unlike my mud terrains (10ply).

the side bites make em look pretty tough, I am just impressed for how aggressive the tread pattern is and how quiet and smooth ride they have. hopefully they will hold up $242 a piece, not cheap but cheaper than a leveling kit and 35 12.50 for the Toyo's.
