Hey guys...well i stoped by the tire shop to get a price quote on some 33inch toyo mt and he quoted $330 which seemed a little high. He said he could get them in 3-4weeks. He also said they would slow down my truck due to weight and the thickness of the tread. He said i wouldnt get that many miles out of them. Is he making a good point or bs? thanks

 

$330 each tire??

 

Mine just came in today. Finally after 5 months on back order. I got them for 275 each. I was originally quoted 300 each but I beat him down to 275. Now I am just waiting for the wheels to come in. Should be 2-3 more weeks.

I had to go to the tire shop just to look at the tires and they are k****ss! pretty heavy though.

 

33 x what? There is a big cost diffrence in 17, 18, 20. For 20s, thats cheep, for 17s its high and for 18s its about right.

 

You probably will lose a slight amount of performance, but I dont think your gonna care. You have a 5.4 with 33" tires... I have a 4.6 with 35" tires. I can live with my performance loss and its a lot more than yours is gonna be. I dont really think its gonna be that noticeable though.

I bet it's eating you alive.........

 

After I went to 305/55/20 = 33/12.5/20 I lost about 1.5 sec 0 to 60
and I am runnig 91 oct tune, Airaid cai, 3" free flowing exhaust and 4.56 LS

 

Toyo Open Country M/Ts are pretty light considering how heavy the Nitto MGs are and they wear pretty damn good. I don't know what he was talking about, you're only going up 1" in overall diamter. Its not going to kill you.

 

hes making a killling if you pay 330/tire i got my toyo mt's 33x12.5R18 for 248/tire mounted& balanced. ive got 14000 miles on mine so far, and there is still just barely under 1/2" of tread left... weight wise, bs as thump said, they are super light for mts- every now and again, i'll turn em over, so i call bs on the 'slow you down' part too.

How tall is the tread brand new?

 

after going back and looking at my first pictures from mounting day, and scaling them up to 1:1, then checking the service records from yesterday, and the toyo stat sheet i am adjusting my first answer lol- the starting tread on the toyo mt is 21/32" [.82"] (which is the same as the bfg mud terrain, also the nitto mud grappler) as of yesterday's service visit, I have 16/32" [.5"] of tread remaining @14,000 miles.

 

I should have mentioned. Mine are 275 for 33x1250x20. 18's should be even cheaper. Good luck

 

I guess its safe to say that the Toyo Open Country M/Ts would last around 30,000 miles than.

 

which is awesome for an mt if you ask me- you're gonna like em when you get them thump- they're great tires really- i can go up the mountain at 50 mph on dirt and gravel, and never once lose the back end on a corner-

 

ya thats really good miles for an M/T, with my procomp M/T's that i had on my ranger (big mistake) at 6k i had less then half the tread left! they sucked!
