Just got back from Moab and 2 of us have Toyo AT2's and the other has Toyo MT all new with in the last couple months. We drove 75-80mph getting there and the AT2's showed no wear but the MT definitely showed wear. They wore evenly but definitely wore down. On the highway he was running like 33-35psi on a TJ.

I put 15k on the toyo mt 35's that I bought used and sold that were still about half tread. Looking like they have wear after a 900 mile trip is bullshit. I regularly do an 800 mile round trip in a weekend and they hold up fine. There's plenty of people getting 40-50k on a set of toyo mt's. Doing the 4k+ mile trip to Moab and back in May according to this guy Mine will be racing slicks by the time I get there.

about 760 miles one way did about 2000 miles or so. Not sure what you mean. I never said they were completely wore down what I said is they showed wear. It was noticeable enough that we commented on it. Could have have been the 80 mph who knows. When he got them they seemed like they had very deep thread when we got back not so much. call bullshit all you want I don't care. His is the TJ

If he had as much trouble getting over every small ledge as he did in the video I'll bet he spun his tires a fair bit on the rocks. I'll bet thats where the wear comes from, not doing 80 on the highway.

I'm actually running Terra right now in 37" The trails are so much quieter than the km2 and ride twice as good. I'm a BIG fan from way back but I'm not sure I'll ever own another set.
