Beautiful. What are your impressions of that tire? Road manners, on and off pavement....?

Boy, I had forgotten about this thread.:oops: :xxrotflma

Actually, I hated them. They made me feel like I was floating around the road, not to mention the extra weight killed my fuel mileage and ability to accelerate without pegging the tach.

So, after appx 500mi on them, I took them back and got another set.

Dean Radial SXT Mud Terrain 265/75R16

MUCH better. These are what a lot of the Logging Crew Vans use around here to get around in the woods. (Crew Vans are a misnomer, most are F-250's or Silverados and other light duty full-size 4dr rigs).

Do miss the look of the Toyos though.

When I get more $$$ and turn the Fronty into a Trail Rig (and run the tread off these), then I'll probably go and get the Toyos again.
