You might check out Pitbull tires as well if your looking for a capable off road tire.....

 

Z71crawford,
You say youve had the nitto trail terrains before?

 

go with the toyos, my buddy has had lifted diesels for 20 years give or take and has used most a/t m/t tires. The best one he has used is the Toyo M/t, worst was a cooper m/t that disintegrated while running. Now he uses that tire on all his trucks whether its a 1500 or a 3500 truck, from a cummins to a duramax. (idk how that is relevant but it sounded cool lol)

 

He uses the toyo mud terrains instead of all terrains? I mean if i was wealthy id probably put M/Ts on too cuz the grip but dont they wear to fast?
My brother has nitto terras on his f350. Drives 70 miles one way to work and has almost 80k on them i believe.

IMPORTANT ?: on the bds site it says this lift works with

33" x 12.50" w/16 or 17 x 8 and 4.5" back spacing
34" x 12.50" w/18 x 9 and 5" back spacing
35" x 12.50" w/20 x 9 and 5.75" back spacing
Does that mean i have to go with these exact combinations?
I want 35s on 18s. I know i can call them just figured id ask here first.

 

After looking at pics of the toyo MTs i realized my ex had those on her lifted 7.3 they were very very noisey. Maybe she didnt rotate them enough. They werent really choppy either.

 

Why are there no toyo or nitto tires on these charts?

yes he uses the m/t's since he works the oil fields he drives A-LOT across texas and according to him it lasts along time. the tires that ive seen waste very fast are the mickey thompson m/ts, the pavement will eat them up. toyo m/ts will last a few years if your truck is aligned, and tires are rotated. Ive seen people run the toyos for 20k miles and tires still look like they have 90% life. You might want to look into them. They aren't really that noisy another buddy has them in his tundra and weve gone 80-110 mph and not much substantial noise, I honestly think my 285/35/22 nitto nt555 have more road noise. I really didnt like the nitto a/t on my cousins 06 on a 6inch lift, he went through 3 pairs in like 4 years, not too sure if it was an alignment or balancing issue. What I can tell you is I highly reccomend the toyo m/t over the nitto trail grappler, the nitto is fairly new, and the toyo has been around for years, so to me the nittos look like a fairly similar thread design from the toyos.

 

Tire Rack doesn't sell Toyo and Nitto.


Also if you thought the Toyo Muds were loud, I'd strongly suggest you get a AT tire... the Toyos were some of the quietest mudders I've ever had experience with.

 

Ok i always thought they did.
I will be on the street most of the time. I like to go hunting and camping though on trails and will occasionally take it in mud but im not going to tear it up.
Do you still reccomend the toyo MTs?
I think it was just her lack of rotation and it probably needed aligned.

I dont see bds having tie rods. What brand do you recommend? Moog, fabtech, etc
And what other parts do i need to install with this lift???

 

Yup have had 2 sets of nitto trail grapplers, 1 set of toyos open country MTs, 1 set of good year MTs, 1 set of Cooper STTs MTs, 1 set of good year Ats, and the stock Bridgestone Dueler A/T. I have a problem about buying new rims and tires lol . By far my favorite tire though, was the Nitto Trail Grapplers. I couldnt tell you how long they last though, i never kept a set past 10k miles.
