I had a set of yokohoma geolander at/s on my f150 best tire I've had so far. I had 25,000 miles on mine and only rotated once and still great tread wear. I've had bridgestone dueler at's, bfg a/t, and Cooper wildcats, none lasted like the yoko's and the price I paid was great compared to others I think it was 750 mounted balanced and everything in 33's

As far as Toyo M/T's go, probably one of the best, lastest longing tires under the weight of a superduty, considering their tread pattern. However, I really don't consider them a M/T, they're more of an A/T in my eyes. They've just never performed like a true M/T. They're also very expensive, but still a great tire.

I just got mine through 4wheelparts, every year they do a buy 3 get one free deal, and shipping was only $50 for all 4 tires total. I paid just over $1100 for all of them shipped to my house. Not terrible...

I've got some picture somewhere I will dig up of my buddy roasting a set of pro-comp x-terrains. It was a 5+ minute long burnout that went up and down a city block several times... they were still usable after that, I was amazed.

Found the pics of the X-terrains taking some brutal punishment. Now these tires had been on this truck for a while already. I'm guessing at least 25k miles. They were cupping a bit, however they were also a 13.5" wide tire on stock 18" wheels. My buddy decided he needed to "flatten" the cupping off of the tires and make them round again. This was how he saw fit....

Bye Bye!! There he goes....

Oh wait... he's coming back up again.... If you can see that telephone pole way in the background, he went all the way down there, and went around the pole, spinning rubber the whole way...

We stopped taking pictures. The burnout went on so long people were getting bored and going back into the bar. He actually turned around again after this last pic and went back down the street again. This was one long CONTINUOUS burnout, no stopping when he turned around at all.

After this, he still drove on these tires for another 5-10k miles. Then finally dismounted them and gave them to me. We then mounted them up on a buddy's 05 6.0, and he continued to do burnouts EVERYWHERE on these tires for another two or three weeks! Finally got them to show a little cord and took them off. I was more than impressed.

Absolutely loving my Goodyear DuraTrac's, and so are my buddies. None on a Ford, but all on Diesels. Great life, excellent traction, and if you see any ice/snow they kick **** in those conditions as well. WAY better then a Toyo M/T.

I have the Nitto Trail Grapplers in 35x12.50 R18 on my F250 6.0 diesel. I forgot to write down the mileage when I put them on, but it's only a few thousand miles. They are showing some wear already. They are somewhat noisy, can't hear them with windows up, you can hear them hum with a window down. Traction is good, but I haven't had any other 35's on the truck to give a comparison. I have Kelley safari TSR's on my 2wd, and they get good traction. My buddy has 35" TSR's on a diesel Yukon and he LOVES them. They seem to last well, sorry no mileage report. Toyo tires seem to get really good reviews.

I just picked up a set of nitto trail grapplers 35x12.5x18 for $500 with 3/4 tread left... Now I just got to buy the rims looking at the fuel hostage rims.

And my truck couldn't do a power brake to save its life!!!

I made the mistake of buying Nitto trail grapplers last year and i dont think im gonna get 20k out of them. I previously had pro comp extreme a/ts and i got almost 45k out of them and i have 37's. pro comp are pricey but worth the money and i think they look just as good as the toyos.

Thats what my kellys tsr pretty much are, made by good year. I ran Duratrac on my Dakota but the Kellys were 40 bucks cheaper to buy. But have done just as good as my Duratracs...
