I’m running a 2018 ram 2500 Cummins and I’ve just bout wore out the toyo at 2 I have bout 45k miles on em. I’m looking for more of a mud tire but still would like to see some mileage out of them. I rotate them every 5k miles like clock work. That's weird I get 60plus on my f250. I get 50k out of RT’s. Only other tire I currently have experience with is the a BFG k3 mud. But only have 1k on one tire(all they had in 35” in southern CO). It's louder then the RT’s Bobo, how much louder are the R/T's than the AT2? Noticeable?

The set of Toyo mts I had lasted forever. Had over 65k when I pulled them for dry rot. That was on a wrangler and weighs nothing but I’ve seen similar results on several other vehicles.

Copper ST Maxx or the cheaper tire similar to that is the Hercules T/G Maxx, they are made by Cooper is what I was told. Same with Mastercraft. Wal Mart has a good price on my size. I don't think Discount sells Mastercraft otherwise I would go with them.

I got the toyo mt put on last week and had a few long hauls this past weekend and they were pretty good in the rain at high speeds amazing in the pastures that were a little muddy. As I was told by the tire guy they are going to walk for a little bit and he wasn’t lying but they are getting better already. Think I may have found my go to tire if I can get some miles out of them

Several years ago, I bought a set of mud tires. My mpg went down, road noise went way up, and they wore out fast. However, they worked great in the mud. My next tires were, and still are, BFG KO2's. They are a great tire, and I really like them. One of the reasons my mud tires wore out so soon, was because I did not get them rotated often enough. My take on this is that if someone often drives in the mud, it may be worth it, for a all around tire, not really.

Not much if not less, if you look they have more surface area

Toyo M/T’s are all I run. Currently have them on my F250 and had them on my old Ram 2500. Keep them rotated and you’ll get 45-50k miles out of them.

Just put Cooper ST max on my f250 last week. Too early to tell how they will be long term, but wanted a good blend of road vs offroad performance. These seemed to be a good blend.
I have mules at the ranch when things are real muddy, didn't want to drive a MT too much on highway due to noise and performance. But I do drive my truck around the ranch when it isnt sloppy so wanted something that could withstand a few hiccups on the trail.
Time will tell. I used this thread as a guide for tires and my research pointed me to the Cooper ST Max. Local availability played into some of the decision as well.
