Sweet that you won the Toyo's. Those are really great tires I had some on my TJ for a while and never had any problems with them. I work in the quality dept. for Toyo and just so you know you're getting a hell of a tire for free.

good to hear that man, they seem awesome and I can't wait to get them on the jeep. I have heard the tread life isn't all that great though so I'll probably run the sport kings on the street and the Toyo's will be my trail tires.

I got a buddy of mine a set almost 2 years ago and he drives everyday to work over 30 miles one way and they still have about 50-60 % left

oh alright well thats good to hear. I'll probably still let the sport kings wear down on the road though, I gotta make the most of this nice set of tires. Are the Toyo's very loud on the road? Heard they aren't but I'm young and sure would be happy if they howl a bit lol.

No they are pretty quiet for a mud terrain but they do have a little howl to them.

cool, thanks.

I'll get some pics up when I get them on, I was thinking about trimming my fenders about like yours once I see how the tires fit.

hah I bet it does.

Me and black2door got a few teaser shots of how the toyo's are gonna look on a 15x10 with 3.75 bs. I can't wait to actually get them on. Buying Cragar black V-5's from Summit Racing.

I love the tires, the beads worked awesomely and I get a cool cascading sound when I stop. They howl a bit, not very loud but enough to make me happy. Only complaint is I lost some power but who cares I love them!
