Only got 79,897 out of this set. Finally started to wobble a little. Replaced with another set today.

My old truck I got with 80k miles. Drove Toyo A/T 2's on it until about 150k and put some k02's on it that were still running strong when I sold it at 245k miles. BF Goodrich makes a good tire. Ridge Grapplers are holding up good now, but it remains to be seen if I get as much life out of them as the K02's.

Same. 80K. I think they would have gone 90 but the shop said they were cupped and couldn’t rotate anymore. Wtf

Damn really? I'm due up for tires. I got about 60k on some transforce AT and I thought that was excellent

I thought I had some longevity! 86k is a good return on that investment.

Do you know what ply?

That’s pretty dang good! How often are y’all rotating to get 80k plus? And is this on mid size trucks? F 150 and such?

That's a good bit. I have 67k on my ridge grapps now and they're about toast. Just hoping they hold up until I get my new truck.....that I ordered 5 months ago.

eta: maybe it's me but these ridge grapplers don't seem nearly as loud as my BFG A/T's where.

I agree with you there, but I didn't find either to be particularly loud. Definitely quieter than my buddies truck with Toyo R/T's (granted I do like those tires a lot though).

Any of y’all have the Pirelli Scorpion all terrain plus?

I may end up getting a set. Price is hard to beat and I like the look. Was wandering if any of y’all have tried them yet.

I got 93k on my first set and have about 50k on my second set and they’re not going to last much longer.

KO2 I've gotten over 60k out of 3 different sets. I now have the KM3 35x12.5/20 and they are equally as good and have a little tougher look. Stay away from the TOYO tires. Have multiple friends with them over last few years and just straight trash. Thinner sidewalls, poor tread wear, noisy to begin with and get worse with time. The slightest tire psi issues will cause scalloping. This was after he thought truck issue caused it come to find out TOYO have a low tolerance for being out of psi range and scallop terrible bad.

I have 80 something thousand on my Toyo R/Ts and they’ve been great for me. I’ve had a bunch of front end problems and they’ve still worn evenly and balanced. Not saying they are the tire to beat or anything, just offering some good feedback for them.

Man, idk. Toyo arguably makes the best off road tire out there, and this is the first I've heard. I had toyo open country AT2s a while ago that I loved, and have a set of new 35" Toyo Open Country MT's sitting in my garage waiting to get mounted.

I've had BFG ATs x2, Toyo Open Country AT2s, Nitto Ridge Grapplers, and now Toyo Open Country MTs. All of these tires have performed very well.

My favorites have probably been the Ridge Grappler, but I couldn't find a size I liked in an 18" rim.

Yeah, BFG tires demand respect for sure but I have never heard anything bad about Toyo/Nitto's and the podunk town I grew up in every grandmaw is running 35s in M/T's. Other than Toyo R/T, M/T and Nitto Mud Graps being loud I haven't ever heard any buddies complain. I think the inch size Ridge Grapplers in 35 are 12 ply only, and the metrics are 10-12 when you get into 33" and above and Toyo and Nitto are basically the same thing.

Toyo M/T and Mud Grapplers are probably the top of the line mud tires on the market. The KM3 also probably deserves a spot on that list.

Toyo does not make the best off road tire out there. That would be interco.

I should clarify that I mean offroad but also daily driver worthy. You're probably right about interco
