Toyo MT's Vs. ATZ's Vs. ?

TheSmokinStroke2002 · Oct 20, 2011

well guys im going to be getting a new set of tires for my truck here in the next month or so, i am strongly leaning towards the toyo MT's but have also heard great things about the ATZ's. the size i will be running is a 315/75/R16. i am also open to any recomendations of tires similar to the 2 i have posted up already. i know alot of people run the toyo mt's... so how long are you getting out of a set and how good of a tire are they truly?

I ran toyo mts I didn't have very good
Luck with mine I got like 15000 out of them... But that's me.. I've got pro comp extreme ats now I love them! Doing good for wear also. Ever thought about the mtzs from Mickey Thompson?

the MTZ's have crossed my mind a time or 2.

I am running the TOYO mt now. Ran the ATZ'S prior to the toyo. Toyo is a good tire but I think I like the ATZ better. Mainly because the ATZ is offered in a 35x13.50 where the toyo is not.

how many miles are you guys getting out of a set of ATZ's with proper rotations and so forth.

STROKIN N STYLE · Oct 20, 2011

thats good to hear. i think the big toss up is going to be the ATZ and Toyo's. did you have the truck in any snow?

STROKIN N STYLE · Oct 20, 2011

no i never did. but i've heard decent things about them. I'll be putting them on my new truck. or the Pro comp MT's

TheSmokinStroke2002 · Oct 20, 2011

whatever i do end up getting has to be atleast decent in snow. ive heard alot of mixed things about the toyo MT but i think it also comes down to pure driver ability lol.

STROKIN N STYLE · Oct 20, 2011

i loved my atz's! they did great in ever situation i put them through. I also towed HEAVY with them

TheSmokinStroke2002 · Oct 20, 2011

they are also nasty looking too lol. i think the ATZ's are one of the best looking tires on the market.

STROKIN N STYLE · Oct 20, 2011

i do agree

I honestly liked my Hankook Dynapro ATM's more then the ATZs, wear was comparable between the two, but the dynapros had better traction offroad and in adverse weather. The only tire I liked more then the ATM in snow/ice was Cooper Discoverer ATR, those tires were rock solid, I ran them on my old Chevy half ton though.

TheSmokinStroke2002 · Oct 20, 2011

i have noticed that the toyo's come with 1/32 more tread than the ATZ's. also what tire is a harder compound?

we have ran a set of those on dads dmax and my truck before, weren't a bad tire but couldnt get you off of wet grass if you tried.

I had a set of toyo mt's on mine in a 37-12.50-17 and I had one blow out and it busted from the bead all the way up to the center of the tread. Actually came off the rim and it was at low speed luckally. Sounded like a bomb went off and scared me to death. So i will not buy another set!!

ive always heard a lot of good reviews on the toyos.. you see quite a few of them around.

i was in this same delima when i bought mine. i loved the look of both. my decision was made when it came to price. and i personally wont pay more for a A/T than a M/T
