I'm thinking about the atz's mostly because they are offered in a 13.5 and they look great as well

i do believe i have narrowed it down to the toyo mts and atz's, the mtz's just dont look like they would last as long as the toyo's or atzs and they feel like a softer compound (our schools diesel club truck has them)

I like my ATZ a lot. I've got 10k on mine and they look brand new still. Put 5k on them last year and another 5k this year so I only rotated them once. Couldn't tell you how they do in mud because I don't take mine offroading. Most it has seen was a muddy water puddle. Couldn't tell you how they work in snow either because i run my Alcoa's in the winter.

yeah once my truck gets painted she will see about 2mph down a gravel road as far as mud goes. so not worried about that. mainly worried about snow and rain performance and lifeline of them.

What do you mean rain performance? Wear wise you can't go wrong with the ATZ as long as they are rotated and properly inflated.

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.

What tire really does good on on wet grass with a 1 ton Diesel in 2wd? I've gotten stuck with Wrangler MTR/Super Swampers/Mud Grapplers/ext. I won't drive on wet grass if I can avoid it, if I do the hubs get locked ahead of time.

The atz's do great in the snow Konnor. I was busting drifts in 2wd, that my old truck wouldn't have gone through in 4wd with the old michelins it had on it. The atz's are a good tire. I have a buddy with the mtz's on his truck, he's had them for about 4 years and over 40k, and they still look good, on a chevy 3/4 ton.

I got my toyos for $370 a tire, and the ATZs were $440 a tire.. if that changes anything. it did for me.

99F250Smitty · Oct 21, 2011

If he is looking at 315/75/16's the atz's run about $310. I've been shopping for them myself.

powerstrokin15 · Oct 21, 2011

my bad. I was thinking 35/12.50/20. TOTALLY different game. LOL

Well after hydroplaning and crashing my truck im looking for a tire that can get good traction on wet roads. i know its gonna be a 12.5 wide but im looking for the best i can get. i was very impressed with MattP's Toyo MT's in the rain.

With my Pro comp X terrains i never had a problem in wet grass.
