I’ve only experienced that with bias ply super swampers. Give me some time and I’ll update you on that.

I drove one of ours clients F250 with the Toyo MT. They were loud, but not as loud as some of the older mud tires I’ve run.

I’ve run multiple sets on various rigs. For a MT, they are pretty dang quiet when new. Rotate them often, as the front outer lugs are what eventually slap the pavement and produce the most noise. I did a multi-thousand mile roadtrip from Seattle to Minnesota in my lifted diesel E350 with 35’s, and the loudest thing was wind noise.

It's been a few years,but as I remember it, the excessive noise was gone pretty quickly,but they were really loud for a few days of short freeway day to day driving. My hearing is not good,I would not call them super quiet, I would put them on a little sooner,but I don't think it will be a problem if you don't. Also,I went from the stock Transforce to the Toyo so that was part of the difference in the noise level. I will be surprised if you don't like these tires.
PS I agree with the poster that said they are not as loud as older muds.

Thanks for the info, everyone says the Toyo MT is a great tire, I’ve never heard anything negative. I think I’ll just put them on as soon as my rims come in.

Absolutely 100% !! This is good, I've seen more than 1 pissed off customer who bent the $1200 rim crossing a railway track with his low profiles on a loaded pickup. Tall sidewall flex works. Low profiles, expecting Can Am car cornering in a pickup is delusional. Admittedly 235/85R16s are a better cornering choice than 7.50R16s but there is so much flex in a pickups frame and body and suspension that putting 50 series rubber on 20s is.... delusional. Keep all the components in balance.

Only reason to not put them on is if you are trying to mile out the old tires. BUT definitely install them a month before that road trip to..... where in canada ?

This is a temperature thing. Affects every tire. I've woken up to 50 below every morning. First you listen to the tappets clattering, waiting for oil. Then you drive a mile before the flat spots heat up and the sidewalls start to flex. Feels like a pot hole every tire rotation.
It has nothing to do with MT, AT, AS, racing tire. Extreme cold does it to all rubber tires.

If you want better than Corvette performance, you should buy a Mustang.....
But no, keeping the tread square... actually parallel to the road surface, is more a function of suspension design, body and frame flex. If the body/frame/suspension are twisting and rolling, the last thing you want is a rigid tire. The tire stays parallel to the frame, not the road. A rigid tire might have a negative effect on handling in a pickup/SUV.

Thanks for all your comments! I’m heading to Kenora souix and narrows Ontario area mid June. I’ll make sure I’ll ge them on early, I’m about due for an oil/ fuel filter change, that will be a good time to start.

And here I was thinking $550 for a Trailready or Hutchinson beadlock was expensive. Maybe I can just tell the wife it was the beadlocks or $1,200 per rim, so in reality getting thr beadlocks would save us money.

Just mounted my wheels this weekend. I went with the race line avenger “dodge” rims from CJC off-road, as always they came through with the best price and fast shipping.
