[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1497928, member: 6291"] I've gotten to where all I will run is MTs. Every time I switch to an AT I am disappointed. I can get 55K miles out of the Toyo MTs. They ride smooth... are tough tires... and do great in the mud. They can actually handle the gravel also. I use to be a die hard BFG guy but they were late to the game with a chip proof tires. Their KM2s are priced rediculous and they get pretty squirrelly with a little wear. The difference for me between running an AT or an MT is if your pull trailers in the mud or have hills. Most all the name brand ATs will get just a truck by itself as far as an MT on fairly flat ground. If your pulling a trailer with an AT you have no chance. They don't have enough bite. I put ATs on my 17 when I got it last year. This winter was a PIA trying to feed. I was getting stuck on slick back mud... wasn't sunk... wasn't throwing mud... Just spinning... making a mess of things. I bounced them asap. Put the Toyo MTs on and a lot of times I could walk right thru the same wet spots with out spinning a tire. You have to have realistic expectations. If it's boggy.. No tire is going to help. It's a weight vs surface area game. If your in slick or stomped up stuff trying to feed cattle or what ever the MTs are worth every penny. I don't get to choose the optimal time to feed a lot of times so I'm going snow, rain, or shine. A lot of times if you lock it in 4L and just crawl with a good set of tires you can get a lot places with minimal damage. [/QUOTE]
