Wanted to try something better and the Toyo's ride alot better. I just got two for the front and next month get the other two for the back. I'm glad I bought Toyo going to stY with that brand for now on.

New guy that never post, but been lurking around for a while. Would like to add that I just purchased some 305/40-22 Toyos for my sons truck and I am completly impressed. Replace nitto 420s that only lasted 32,000 miles. Toyos ride good and are quiet, also took less weight to balance than nittos. Cost was 150 per tire vs. 190 for nittos.
