Here's my 285/75R18. I don't have a 315/75R16 to measure but figure 30mm wider
thanks much spressomon for taking the time i am leaning strongly toward the 285/75R18. i just measured my current tires a little over 10" of the thread is touching the pavement, so that is very close to 315/75R16. again thanks much, now i just need to find a good deal.

These tires look perfect!
Just catching up on this thread............
Trying to find sizing information on the new Toyo AT 2 in the extreme sizes is an exercise in frustration. Toyo's website is a joke.
Unfortunately, it looks as if the load rating on some of their E rated tires has been reduced.
That means I'll have to switch to MTs or try another brand when my Toyo ATs are due for a change.
Drat, these have been great tires.

Yes, Toyo needs to list the Extreme sizes on their website. I received this information after requesting it. Post #38....

The 285-75-17 Toyo AT's have the extreme configuration. I saw a photo on one of the Dodge sites.
Regarding the lower load rating,I changed from 3900# rated Toyo AT's to their 3195# MT cousin in the same size. Weight rating is down,but I can say that @ 65psi,they are like rocks just like my AT's. I've got a front axle load of 4400#,rear 4000# and drive around with 55#. No sway,barely a bulge in the suckers. AT's next time as 10" of rain down here hardly constitute a MT.

Update with recent snow (<5"), hardpack snow and ice: The turning and stopping performance in the aforementioned conditions is just average. ~7,200lb LC running ~45psi x 4. For comparison and FWIW: With similar conditions the Goodyear MT/R Kevlar in the same size, on the same rig running the same PSI is considerably better and more predictable. I was hoping for better snow/ice performance but it is what it is as they say

That was probably me and yes, they are XXXXXXtreme in that size.
On the Toyo website, look for the ones with more tread depth. The Xtremes have 2/32 more meat.
Still loving them, btw. Slick roads, rocks, mud -- no problem. Haven't tried snow (mostly 'cause this is Georgia and snow is semi-mythical to us).

Not true I have the 285/75/16 and they are 17/32s and not Xtreme although I am xtremely happy with them. One foot of wet snow today and no problem, didn't spin a wheel.

Are they the AT-2 or the older AT?
If they're the AT-2, chalk-up anther salesman myth laid to rest...
Mine are the Xtreme though in the 285/75-17 and the tread is quite different from the non-Xtreme. Bigger voids but same basic pattern.
Big difference in the sidewall from the older version.
