They're pretty much the same tire except for the name and the sidewall design. Great alternative choice compared to the bland P rated highway tread design or the heavy 10 ply LT tires.

Kobyh...truck is my daily driver plus the wife and I use it on long road trip's. Both of us are in our 60's so I need to keep it simple. I rather drive a F-150 than a old man's Buick!

Haha, no doubt about that. Well my wife and I are in our mid-20s and we like to keep it simple as well. I like the 'sleeper' look. Wife prefers to keep it classy and I have to agree with her. She's right most of the time anyway.

Looks great PawPaw! I myself am torn between the stock 275/55 or these 275/60 on the AT 2's. I am not really wanting to mess with a tune or anything to adjust for the slight change in tire size. I kind of burned out of the mod bug going all out on my 2005

I am right with you guys on keeping it clean and simple, the 2012 has only been given functional or spotty appearance modifications.

Thank's...I had the Bridgestone Dueler H/L's that came from the factory. Out here in the country for the occasional run through the pasture or in the sand at the gulf you really need at least an all terrain tread on your tires. I don't plan on towing anything over 4K pound's so the P rated tires are fine. I've put close to 200 miles on them since Friday and find they are a lot more stable then the highway tread Bridgestones...flat side shoulder's on the tread make a big difference with the Toyo's but the tread has more rolling resistance so they'll get a little less mpg's. I'm still at 18.5 on this tank and that's running the AC and doing some idling. Next I need some tint on the front's and maybe a boost bar to cover the hole in the front!
