What mpg are you seeing with the 38’s? What do you like better about the toyo’s?
Haha not worried just curious.Running 37’s and 38’s worried about MPG
It looks bad ass who cares.
I like the AT’s better.
Falken also makes Nice tires nowadays as well.
Look at the metric sizes, even though I run the RTs, the weight rating is higher on the metric sizes vs the inch, may be similar with other brands.
Like @CLdrinker said, i dont necessarily care about MPG's. My truck is tuned and deleted and on the highway i see around 20mpg. Around town i want to say its like 14mpg.
Interesting. I'll look at that. I never compared them in the past. I appreciate the tip.
True story. I noticed that as well.
Thats good mpg with the delete. I deleted a 2016 chevy and only gained about .5 mpg over the non deleted banks tuner. Best I would see would be 16mpg on 35’s.Like @CLdrinker said, i dont necessarily care about MPG's. My truck is tuned and deleted and on the highway i see around 20mpg.

I have had 2 sets of the nitto's. Nothing really in particular that I dislike about them. I have a pretty heavy fifth wheel and the load rating on the toyos I believe is like 1,000 pounds more per tire on the Toyo vs. Nitto so just for my own piece of mind.
Just personal preference is all. I never had toyo R/T I always ran the M/T but I didn't think the noise was bad. For me though my truck doesn't see that many miles. Usually 5,000 miles a year so that could be why my noise comparison is skewed. If it was a daily driver for me it could be different

Check out the Toyo RT Trails. Switched from Ridge Grapplers. Super happy with them compared. Toyo/Nitto same company. Some tires share the same carcass/materials, but the rubber compounds are definitely different.
What do you like better about the rt trails over the grapplers?
From what we were told they are phasing out RT’s and it will only be RT Trails so be careful buying a new set, if you have a blow out may not be able to get a matching new one down the line.
So in the same size 295/70/17 the RT Trails are 3lbs lighter but have a higher weight rating than the Ridge Grapplers. Also the rolling resistance is supposed to be less from some of the tests I have seen. I haven't hand calculated it, but the DIC went from 17 to 17.2.
Thats pretty close. I have the old school RT’s, im thinking the ridge grapplers would be better, not as good as the rt trails.
The RT's have their place for sure. For spending more time on pavement Ridge Grappler for sure. After owning both I noticed the Ridge Grapplers browning and showing some unusual cracking between the tread blocks. Never had a Toyo tire do that.
My RT’s dont have any browning but do have a little cracking between the treads. I have always had good luck with the toyos but this time they wore really funny, got pretty loud. And did not seem to be so good in the sand.
How many years old? Rotate every 5-10k?
2 years old. Rotated closer to every 10k and probably should have done every 5k. This is the first f250 i have had. I had 2 sets on my last chevy 2500 and rotated them close to every 10k with no issues.
I don’t have that. And I’ll only get rid of some full sets.
