    It wasn't that bad, knocked my toe out of alignment a bit. I wish the camera wasn't delayed, they picture would have been the other way with the front tires about 5 feet from the ground. Lol.

    And if you can spend the money Toyo M/T is the best m/t out there period. I work at a tire shop, I can try to answer any questions brand specific. My top choices are going to be Toyo and Nitto, because statistically I see very few that come in cupped out, slipped belts, heavy, etc. compared to the BFG's, Goodyear's and the like.

    It still looks rough. haha

    Ok, I do have one question though. How much would a set of those Toyo's be in 285/75/R16 from your shop?

    Ok. I'm gonna go to a few shops and try to talk them down and see if I can't get a better price than that.

    I ordered a set of hankook MT's off of eBay the other day but the seller called me back and said that they were on back order. He said Hankook told him they didn't know when they would be available so now it looks like I got a set of Cooper STT's headed my way. (305/70/16) I've read the reviews and it seems like everyone thats running this tire has nothing but good things to say.

    The Cooper is definitely a solid tire and you don't see a whole lot on the road.

    How much would your tire shop charge for the Cooper's and Toyo's? (Not your cost)

    I have the Cooper STTs on my 08 Access Cab and I love them. They are great in the mud, trail, gravel, and pretty decent in sand, they are surprisingly quiet on the road for such an aggressive m/t. I live in SC and wont get to test them in snow for another couple of weeks, but I've only heard good things. Good luck with your selection bro.
