I'm sorry but your barking up the wrong tree for Toyo's. I'm about due for another set in a few months, and will go right back to Toyo MT's.

You could not PAY me to run BFG tires, I would rather walk...
i hope your right cause i just traded for a set of 35 inch toyos

Nothing wrong with a properly installed set of blocks. I have over a million miles driving lifted PSD's... ALL with blocks and NONE had a single issue.

I work at Les Schwab, the Any Toyo tire is our top of the line tire. Depends on who you buy the tires from on what kinda warranty you get but i know our tires come with a full replacement warranty. you can run over a knife and we'll replace it. My whole family runs toys (eclipse, A/T, M/T, and M-55) if there is a problem with the tire i just take it to Schwab and they'll fix it or replace it free of charge. Nothing against Bfgs but they are made in mexico so i guess take your pick if your buying a tire because of where they come from.
