yeah it was right around 40,000 may have been a bit more or less. I drove on gravel a lot too. I loved those tires.

Dont go to Walmart for tires!

Also, you may want to look into Mastercraft Courser CTs. I got a set 3 years ago, and put little over 30k on them. I had never heard of them until I went to my roomates fathers tire shop. He recommended them for the best bang for your buck. I got em for a little over 400, but that was with my buddy and I puttin them on, and a friends discount.

I still havent seen any other trucks with these, or heard much about them. That could be a bad thing, but I'm happy with what they have given me...always been good to me on the road, in snow, rain, mud, and are wearing well. Can be a little loud depending on road conditions, but I would buy them again.

yeah i have heard of them. my cousin had a set of mastercraft m/t tires but he sold them before they were worn. Although, from what i have heard on a few different threads, the bighorn have good tread life and perform real well. to top it off the look good too.

If yuor looking for cheap. go with treadwright inc. like the other poster said.









I'm running this as a spare. I'm not running them on the truck because I got a smoking deal on my mickey's. BTW, If there is a 4wheel jamboree near where you live, wait until then and go talk to the vendors. that's how I got mine. $556 for 4 265/70R17 load range E. The one pictured was $75 from tradwright.

x3 on the Mud Kings. I've had mine for 5k miles or so and they look new, ride smooth and are not too loud.

Mine weren't cheap i just bought me a set of 33" BF Goodrich M/T's they did cost a little more i think i paid $908 for everything mounted balanced and i got the extra insurance on them...

But you pay for what you get BF Goodrichs are supposed to last the longest as far as ware goes... and they've done AMAZINGLY well offroad.

I have those tires and so far I have liked them. Haven't really had much off road fun with them yet, but from what little have done with them mud pretty good. Still waiting to get with some buddies and go do some trails. Onroad not much noise compared to the set of H/T's that were on my truck. The noise is there just not enough to get annoying. Wet roads they actually have better traction. Last tires were Bridgestone Dueler H/T's. So far I have about 10,000 miles on the Dakota's and hasn't really been any noticeable tread wear.

do you guys that have mud kings on your rigs think you could post a couple pics. I'm the guy that posted about them first but I just kinda wanted to see what they looked like on a yota. no looks aren't the most important thing but I already know how well they do in the mud. thanks ahead of time. I would really like to see what 32x11.5R15 look like mounted up.

I went to the local tire stores and inquired about those mud kings, they wanted 188$ for just the tire with no mounting or balancing in a 33x12.5x15... FYI that ain't cheap. I can't find anywhere else that sells them online or who they're made by but I want some..

actually, the goodyear wrangler M/Ts last the longest. im not really big on goodyear, but the wrangler M/Ts are good tires. i prefer BFGs though.
