New tires on my TV

[BeerCan]

Decided to put new tires on my TV last week. My 5er brings me right at GVWR so I was looking for a little more "reserve" in my tires. I had contemplated going 19.5" but I was not impressed with the wheel choices for my truck.

I ran across these tires by Toyo that seemed to offer a little more than the oem tires on my truck. They are Toyo Open Country AT2 in 295/65 20 and have a load rating of 4080lbs per tire. Nice 500lb increase over stock.

Down side is they are a little noisier than stock and fuel mileage around town has dropped. Hwy mileage is similar.

I am on 3rd set on my truck. Used them on work truck 2 sets. I have gotten 30-35000 miles before there at wear marks. Could go to maybe 40 but I replace tires at the wear marks. This set on my truck I got 2.5 years ago, about 12,000 miles so far on wider aftermarket rims and they seen that they may last longer, the dealer said they would last longer. No matter what psi I ran, 50 empty, 80 loaded they wear the centers out. Work truck was 09 F250 unknown tire size, my truck is 285/75/16 10 ply 3740 lbs max wt. Before them I used other toyos that got same milage but, got much louder as they wore down. I see alot of 2/4, 1 tons useing these tires around here.

I've had them on 3 of my vehicles. E-rated, good in snow, mud, sand, Hwy, and whatever you throw at them. I think they wear good also.

you will notice a drop in MPG though. They are heavier than stock tires. When my current ones wear out, I will buy them again .
