Toyo MTs are better, probably the best MTs I've ever had. Had a set of 33s on my old Fx4, Toyota Tacoma and Nissan Frontier. Worth the $$.

I know the issue are the tires because when I put my summer wheels/tires on I have absolutely no steering wheel shake or vibration at any speed in my truck. I will say, the MTR performs great in snow, mud, rocks but ice not really.

I bet a balance will fix your problem. The same symptom was how I learned to have the balanced about every third or fourth oil change.

I talked to a local guy here that has these MTR's but in a 38 inch tall tire... He told me of a local shop the uses some kind of bean bag to balance the tires...it's suppose to be the same way semi-truck wheel & tires are balanced.

Your Toyo MT's are working well with snow and ice on the paved roads?

Nope, just deep snow in the mountain trails or fresh fallen snow on the roads but once it turns to slick ice no way, terrrible. All MT tires are like that on ice.

I've had it rebalanced 3x and its the same. Got them at Discount Tires and they've rotated and balanced them but to no avail, problem presist. What's odd is that same days no issue and other days it happens. Even tried putting more weight on the wheels.
