I wish I could find something I like as well or better than the Toyo M-55.
I have been running them since 1985 on a variety of vehicles.
10 ply 235-85-16 on a 65 GMC K 2500 which routinely weighed out at 12,000 lb.
A set of siped M-55 in 265-75-16 on a K-5 Blazer were the best winter tires I ever owned.
6 and 8 ply 235-75-15 on a K-5 Blazer, and on an S-10 Blazer.
10 ply 255-85-16 on a 75 Dodge W 200, and on a K-5 Blazer.
The last set I bought went on an 84 GMC K 2500 diesel. Ten years and 40K miles later, I traded the truck for a 96 GMC K 2500, and swapped the wheels and tires onto the 96. Another ten years later, the same tires were fine for summer, but too worn for winter traction. They went with the truck when it sold.
I still have some M-55s which went onto trailers when they lost traction. Some are over thirty years old, and still going strong.
I am wishing I could wear out the tires which came on this 02 GMC, so I could buy my last set of M-55s.
Yes, they are a bit spend initially. But not bad for a tire that will run 60 to 70 K.
