I've got the toyos mts on my truck with about 30 thousand miles on them. There are lots of burn outs and rodding around with a heavy foot on them. I like the tire and when I get new tires I am going to replace them with the same thing.

Toyo's would be my vote. I don't know enough about the MTZ and the Nitto's are loud, and they don't last.

I really like Mickey Thompson MTZs. Had a set on a 2006 1500 and put probably around 15K miles before we sold the truck and virtually no wear. I just put a set on my 2008 2500, so we will see about this set. MTZs have my vote!

I've got 20k on my 35x12.5R17 Toyo MTs and they are bald and ready to be replaced. I was suprised how fast they wear out after reading reviews on here. I'm going to try something else next time, it would be nice to get 40k.
