... Those fit on yours?

If they'll fit on mine I'll definately be getting some soon.

The tires I have now on my stock aluminum wheels are 265/75/16.

I've had em for 4 summers now, and the dry traction is excellent, but wet it's terrible. There is no way I'd run them in winter, even though they are M&S rated. When it's time for new tires, which seems like it will be forever, they wear like rocks, I'm going to try the Nitto 420S, just for something different and from what I have read, grip real well wet or dry.

I've had the 275/60-16 Toyos on my truck for over a year and I like them. Just like everyone else said, dry traction is excellent and wet is horrible!! They seem to wear nicely too. I'll probably get another set when it''s time for new tires. Here is a pic:

I was just considering posting a thread like this. I got my tires in january and they grip okay on a stock truck, but after tunning and exhaust you can see faint strips in the road on take off. On wet roads with tow-haul i've went wot at 60 and when i hit 70 they lost grip and laid down to 100.
Was considering switching to Toyo and running my dad's 33x10.50x16"s in the winter. How often are you guys replacing your toyo's?
