    Lol I'm sorry!!! Mine were not rated for snow anyways. Weird how some sizes aren't rated for snow and other sizes are with those tires. Also had them on a jerp grand Cherokee so that was probably the problem...

    They have been a most impressive tire for traction in sand, snow, mud, and quiet on the pavement, mine are just over 28,000 miles, and the tread is going fast... I don't think they will last 35,000. This photo was taken when they were were about 11,000 miles old...

    and a close up at 28,000 miles...

    Dynapros28000003_fb80705bb733133591dacbdb1835d8ed4e8a5f97.jpg

    Been running them first at 38 psi, then dropped to 35, after I did a chalk test.

    Thank you, I see such out-rages high mileages for tires by some on TW, that I wonder if they drive on cotton? Also, I like some meat on my tires and replace them before flats become common, so I don't try and squeeze every mile out of them.

    My experience on my 3 Tacomas, with usable, flat-free, off road tread life:

    BFG Rugged Trail TA: 20,000 miles (or less, with flats at 13,000 & 19,000 miles)
    Pep Boys' Futura/ Definity Dakota AT (made by Cooper): 25,000 miles
    Cooper Discoverer STT: 40,000 miles (maybe 45,000, they are just too loud)
    Toyo Open Country AT: 35,000 miles (Good tire, would get again)
    Cooper Discoverer ATR: 35,000 miles (Good tire, would get again)
    Hankook Dynapro ATm: 30,000 +? (Great tire, but short life)

    I am thinking of going from the P rated to a LT rated Dynapro ATm or maybe try Falkin Wildpeaks, or the new TOYO Open Country AT II? General Grabber ATs is also a thought...???
