Anyone out there running the toyo mt and wore a set out? Or, if your running them, how many miles do you have on them, and based upon current wear, expect to get out of them? Really do want to go that route, but don't want to get only something like 15-20k out of them.

Im leaning more towards them as soon as I wear out the Bridgestones on now.
Thanks.
Our 37x13.50R18 measures 36.5" OD. We are currently running this size on our company JK. I like the wider footprint.

They make a Krawler in a 39/13.50/18? I know they make them in a 17, never seen an 18.

Unfortunately, I run a 17" rim, or I'd snag a spare set to play with.
how good a deal? I wonder if I can check them on the plane, lol

Are you going to regear? 37's with an auto will suck on the highway.

Goodyear MTR's with Kevlar would be a nice all around choice.
Yeah I'm going to regear. Why would I need spacers? I currently have aftermarket rims with plenty of backspacing. Tires on there now are very wide and I have no issues, and I am planing on a 6 in lift. Shouldn't need spacers, correct?

I have thought about the goodyear tires, but was really interested in what some are getting out of those toyos.

So, I have another question. I am going with a 6 inch lift. I know I am going to have to get new driveshafts, but how long could I, our even could I, run the stock shafts before switching to the aftermarket shafts? Just curious from the aspect of cutting down on initial costs. it looks like there are some people on here still running Stock shafts with there lifts.
