Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire truck tires

One of my buddies ditched his 20" rims on his GMC and went with 18"s just to run the M-55s. I've ridden all over Nevada with him and they're not super noisy. Tons of mine pickups run them here.

I have looked at the Toyo M-55's, but never bought a set. Good to hear the positive replies.

BFG's would be the last tire I would buy. Have never had good wear, longevity, or toughness out of them. A set came a jeep we bought. Will run them until they are done, which will not take long from my previous experience. They will get replaced with Falkens.

ended up buying a set of wildpeak A/T3W just a bit ago.

I appreciate everyone's input.

T inman i'll let you know how they work for me.

40 psi is a car tire we are talking 80 t0 90 psi on ford SD and Chev GMC duramax ,HEAVY hauling hard use trucks , start driving 30 to 40,000 miles a year on every rd emaginal, nothing less that load range E 10 ply more than half the time my 1 ton ford is over 5500 kgs or 11,000 lbs, ,

I do 15 t0 22,000 miles a year on that truck

norm

I do not think there is another tire out there that will outlast the M-55 on gravel or rock.

I had M-55s in 235-85-16E on my 65 GMC which was often loaded with 6000 lbs in the bed.

M55s in 255-85-16E on a 75 Dodge W 250 which did not have the spring capacity the GMC did, but still often carried 5000 lb plus a trailer.

M55s in 235-75-15C on a 84 K5 Blazer, and then another set on a 99 S series Blazer.

The 84 K5 eventually got a second set of M55s in 255-85-16, fully siped. The were all around the best snow and ice tires I have ever driven on.

M55s in 255-85-16D on an 83 GMC K2500 6.2 diesel. When I sold the diesel and replaced it with a 96 GMC HD 2500 4x4, the tire and wheels went to the newer truck.

The 02 GMC HD 2500 4x4 in the driveway came to me with lesser Toyos on it. They still have lots of tread. And they carry my 9 foot Lance camper well. So they will work for a while.

They do make some noise, no doubt about that. A trade off I have been glad to make.

Currently running 4 of those makes.

Hercules on a 450. Tire is wearing great but man does it walk and wander. I will not ever buy those again. Bad enough that I pretty much banned everyone else from driving that truck for the 1st year except myself.

LTX are great on the highway. Not great grip or bite tho. Love them for the highway, but add snow or mud into the mix, no thank you.

Coopers on one of our 350s. Similar to the LTXs. Great on the hwy. Not too great when in the junk.

Wildpeak on a 350 and on my toyota tundra. Pleasantly pleased with them.

Used to run Toyo open country when I lived in eastern MT and drove on a lot of gravel. They were the tire of choice for the gravel and gumbo.

I liked and used to run Cooper AT3s until Goodyear bought them and they went woke. I ain't buying into any of that BS no matter how good they are and I ain't buying any foreign made tires either. I switched to General Grabbers now. So far they are pretty good. I like the traction in the snow and mud.... Haven't had them long enough to know how they will last.

I've had the grabbers and wild peak both are long lasting good tire. Would reccomended either of them.

I love a good tire thread.

Wow, you’ve run those tires through the gambit on multiple different vehicles. I’ll put a set on my 01 dodge plow truck next winter, still got a little life Left in my general grabbers.

I had Continental Terrain contacts on my cummins Ram before I sold it. Great all around tire in my opinion
