Toyo M/t are too pricey

I really like the Toyo M/t but 5 of them are a little too pricey. What are some tires like the Mt's that are less expensive

Big ones

I saw some Cooper STT's on a Dodge the other day. Good looking tire, and I've always had good luck with Cooper tires.

You get what you pay for, and I'll agree they are pricey, but I highly recommend them. I am over 60k on my toyo MT's right now and will be replacing them with another set of toyos because of this. The last, wear great, perform great, and look great. Mine have been through snow, ice and the muddy muck they call mudd around here and pounded the pavement from coast to coast and North to South (literally) with Zero issues.

I've found that with tires, you usually get what you pay for. There are some bargins out there, but most all cheap tires are just that....cheap.

I know, it just sucks because everything is just so damn expensive. Maybe I could sell my stocks. I have like 20k miles on them, no damage to rims either. How much do you all think I could get?

Agreed...tyres are one of those areas where you get what you pay for. You didn't say what size you're shopping for, but they're fairly competitive with any other top named brand tyre in its category. Even the Cooper (mentioned earlier) has gone up in price and not that much cheaper than the Toyo.

try buying toyos in 37's for 22's ....you definitely get what you pay for I love how these tires perform and as for tread wear your not going to get any better.

I just ordered up a set of Toyo's 37x13.5x17 from a supplier here in Canada and I got them for $440 a piece. So I can sympathize, but, like the others have said, you generally get what you pay for.
Nobody said that looking cool was gonna be cheap...

I'd say the Toyo MT's will last 15 to 20k miles more then a cheaper tire so that makes the price almost a "wash". They also may be the best MT for daily use.
