    i have the same tires and love them. i think i will hang with this tire for a long while. they do get kinda squirrely on curves like the op stated but they dig really good and clean out really good.

    thinking about getting the TSR's in 265/75/16's. For those of you that have them, how are they wearing? Any complaints after having them for a while?
    thanks for all your help.

    I've had mine on for about 12000k. Very minimal wear. A lot of offroad. Incredible in the snow. Havent done a lot of mud testing yet. Road noise is very minimal. Considering these in 35s instead of MTR kevlars. Handle well on road too. I dd mine and they're really wicked. Current size is 265/76r16.

    I just bought a set of LT275-65-18 TSRs for my second gen Tundra. I bought them through work (Lithia Motors) for $275 (my cost) each. I found them for about $251 each online, but if I buy them through work, I get a free 2 year-40K mile warranty and no freight costs. The reviews in this thread were of many I read and a large reason as to why I bought them. I too, live in MT, so I'm lookin forward to givin them a shot, especially with winter about a month away!

    Thanks for the reviews!

    Thanks a lot! The only modification I had then, was the tires. No lift, no extra clearance. 12 psi in those tires was incredible. I was very impressed.

    Yeah, i might be a florida boy now, but i grew up in Quebec, driving ATVs and front wheel drive cars in the snow, so i know a thing or two about challenging winter conditions.

    I have been running mine for around a year now and they are just like the op's review overall an excellent MT but I heard they no longer make them. Just what is left in stock.

    Thank you for the heads up! I'm gonna probably stick with Duratrecs since they are nearly identical and Duratrecs get awesome reviews.
