I have the Toyo MTs and have a very very slight pull to the right...slight but yet noticeable.

Very nice to hear other folks having similar issues depending on the tire.

I am not overly impressed with mileage so far. I have not measured tread depth, but wear is quite noticeable at this point. I have about 15k on them now. They still ride great and wear is even, just quicker than I would like. I really love the tire, and price is not bad, but I was hoping to get a little more out of them. May switch to KM2's for the next set.

My Nitto trail graps do this also. Kinda wierd. Aligned correct, had them check it 3 times. Only have 1000 or so miles on mine. Seem ok but only time will tell

I was told that all vehicles are supposed to have a slight pull to the right. they are built like that so that if the driver falls asleep he will drift off the road, instead of into oncoming traffic. also, roads usually slant to the right so that pulls your vehicle that way

I am sure my driving habits have something to do with this, I don't go around spinning my tires, but I think I fall into the category of a "spirited" driver. I seriously doubt I will see 40k out of them. Even with that said I am not disappointed in the tires, when I bought them I did so not knowing what kind of mileage I would see out of them, but for their price and positive reviews I was willing to take that chance. I may still end up with another set of them down the road if I do not get KM2's.

Most people have a slight pull to the right or left depending on the grade of the road. I have done road construction for 6 years and a lot of people arent aware of the crown in the center of the roads that will cause your vehicle to sway one way or the other. 2% grade across a 12 ft driving lane is almost 3 inches of fall from the center to edge of driving lane...anyway so figure a 4 lane if your in the left lane you are pulling left no matter what your car alignment is.

Trail treads are basically mirrored images of the Toyos. Any of you guys experience this?
I thought I was loosing my friggin mind...but i guess not. I leveled my truck and had it aligned. I have the trail grapplers in a 305/55/20 and the truck pulls slightly to the left. I thought of having another alignment, but it sounds like im not the only one with thr left pull.

I'm going to resurrect this thread because I thought I would add my wear. Keep my psi at 45 cold. I have about 7500 miles on mine right now. I have between 14/32nds and 16/32nds with wear even across the tire. Specs show 19.4/32nds new.

Ive got 15,000 on mine and tire wear is starting to become noticeable. My dad had a set on his F350 and got 41,000 on them. Im certain ill be able to see 35,000+ with the set I have now with proper inflation and rotation.
