I cant make up my mind!

Well after A LOT of research I found that I dont want to take the chance of 35" Toyo MT's rubbing. So I was going to go with the 33's. Then I found out that they're horrible for highway, around town driving, and that they will wear down faster than All Terrains. Ohh and they're about $300 a tire, which I cant dish out the money to replace them all the time. So I cancelled my order and I've been doing even more research! I need a tire that looks agressive like a MT but performs like an AT. I am leaning a lot more towards the BFG MT KM2. Would these give me more of an AT feel compared to the Toyo MT? And if anyone has bought there where is the cheapest place to get them and how much do they cost. I NEED TO MAKE UP MY DAMN MIND! I think I have O.C.D. I cant ever make up my mind!

I got over 19,000 miles on my Toyo's, not worn at all. If your worried about rubbing especially with 35/12.50 go with BFG because Toyo's are wider tires

I just put on 35" toyo m/t's and I don't have any problems with rubbing.

35" x 12.5: x 20" Toyo Muds on 20 x 8.5" MB Motoring Predator.
2 1/2" leveling kit
1 1/2" add-a-leaf still in garage, didn't have time for it.

If your afraid Toyos will wear TOO quickly, then you need an aggressive A/T. Toyo easily has the longest life and smoothest ride of ANY M/T (IMO). The BFG km2 is an awesome tire but you will have a lot of road noise (the same as BFG km1) and you will "feel" the lugs when going at a slow pace or coming to a stop. Maybe try looking at the Pro-Comp Extreme A/T. Has super aggressive look (for an A/T) and comes with a 40,000 mile warranty. I have heard people getting almost 50,000 with the Toyo M/T tho... check out the pro-comps see what you think. Good luck

Toyo mts are the best mt for ride, sound and mileage.

remember 33's are going to still be aceptable with you gears, with 35's you should really regear. I have Mickey Thompson MTZ's theay are a good on road MT (especially for being pretty aggresive) but Toyo's are probably better on-road still. I have heard good things about Nitto Tera grappler, they are cheaper than MT's and stil llook fairly aggressive, or maybe toyo At's. IMO I am satisfied and happy with the tire selection i made. The aggressive MTZ's make up for the fact that I only have 33's.

i havent read anything bad about the toyo m/t except the price, but you get what you pay for. as for a a/t that looks like a m/t only in the perfect world, sure the pro comp extreme at is a nice tire it also comes with a helluva price. i aint sure what rim size your running but they are a ton of really nice tires BFG a/t's awesome tire, one of the best a/t's out there IMO., TerraGrappler, Open Country, the new Cooper LTZ all tires that should last a good while with proper rotation. i think the Mickey Thompson ATZ is the meanest looking a/t you can buy, check that one out.

The pro comp xtreme at is the meanest looking All Terrain IMO. I have heard people say it looks like a MT in person.

I agree. The Pro COmp Xtreme AT is the most aggressive looking AT. THey look much, much better in person than in pics.

Here is a pic of my Cooper Zeon LTZ's, they are a very aggresive A/T tire. Like Wandell said of another tire, these look much better in person than in the pic. The ride is great and very quiet. They have a tread rating of 520 which is higher than the Nitto and Toyo and they were $300 cheaper than the Nitto and $400 cheaper than the Toyo. I recommend just going to a dealer where you can look at several tires side by side in person and make your decision from that. Thats what I did, I put the Nitto, Toyo, and Cooper side by side at discount tire and made my decision. Most tires look better in person as opposed to looking at them on the net.
