Toyo light truck tires...any good?

Chris,

To your actual question, Toyo builds very good tires. At my shop we sell Cooper, but that's not the queston you asked. Toyo seem to wear very well with above average traction, average noise. Do seem to need farily frequent rotation, but at the price you're stating, THAT SHOULD BE LEFETIME FREE!!!

Personally would pick Toyo over BFG, but you now what they say about opinions.

My only concern here is price quoted, believe I'd shop around a bit before just blindly plunking down the cash.

The BFG's that I ran on the diesel cummins were 245/75 R16 10-ply's or load range E; their wearing out at only 25k miles had nothing to do with front-end or any suspension type issues.

Truck is drove very moderately, tires were meticuliously maintained/balanced etc; in general they were NOT worth the $700 - period.

Currently have Yokohama Geolander A/T II's in the same size/load range and they have lasted much longer, with far more traction capability, AND they were about $200 cheaper - go figure.

The only experience I have with Toyo is on my wife's Saturn. They seem ok. I have a 98 Yukon like yours with 4 doors. I run Michelin LTX AT's. I love them. They grip very well, not too noisy and I think they cost 640 at STS. I've got 70,000 miles on them. I would absolutely get them again.
