Re: Finally ordered new tires...
Welcome to NC (when you get here...) I'm in Charlotte area and routinely cruise up to Boone and Asheville cause I like the mountains.... especially when it snows.
I read tons of reviews and the one common denominator was the Toyo's sucked in the snow and ice. Obviously no tire unless they are studded is going to do well in the ice but I did like the Toyo's in the snow. (contrary to what I had read about them)
Also, keep in mind, the Toyo's "sucking in the snow and ice" just means that they didn't perform as well as they did on pavement, rocks, sand, mud, etc, etc....
If you do a review search, you'll see that area is it's weak points. Since I don't drive much in ice (twice in 2-3 years) I thought the tires were great.
Like I said, I've got 45K on them now...pretty impressive to me for big truck tires (as opposed to my Super Swampers that fetched 12K four different times)
I've read not one thing bad about the Mickey Thompsons so I thought I would try some again.
I'll let ya'll know how they do. I'm at Nags Head today and will be driving on the beach. We'll see how an almost worn set of Toyo's works...lol.
