I seem to get the best tread life from Toyo tires and I drive heavy diesels
P metric are what most 1/2 ton trucks get from the factory , I understand LT tires are 10ply instead of 6 or whatever but I don’t tow anything over 6-7k lbs, and I have used p metric on gravel for decades with no issues, I don’t do any hard core off-roadingI hope you meant LT(light truck). P (passenger) rated tires are basically car tires with a truck thread. Not what I would want on truck that does any kind of gravel road driving.
They put P tires from the factory because they're cheaper and ride smoother. My trucks never leave the dealer's lot with the factory tires, I always upgrade to LT's. YMMV.P metric are what most 1/2 ton trucks get from the factory , I understand LT tires are 10ply instead of 6 or whatever but I don’t tow anything over 6-7k lbs, and I have used p metric on gravel for decades with no issues, I don’t do any hard core off-roading
Yep, cheaper , lighter , better mpg ratings, i just don’t need em since forest service roads are my my only off roadingThey put P tires from the factory because they're cheaper and ride smoother. My trucks never leave the dealer's lot with the factory tires, I always upgrade to LT's. YMMV.
I am mostly a hwy/around town driver but use the truck for hunting a few times a year also. I wanted one of the quietest AT tires I could find. Was originally going to go with Toyo AT2 or 3s but a local shop had some Bridgestone Dueller AT Revo 3s available for a good price and I grabbed them. Been happy with them so far.
I put hundreds of thousands of miles on the Revo II with my F-350; a very nice option. They would fill up with WY gumbo but they were awesome for the remaining 98% of their life whether hwy or hunting.
Best part is they were $500 for a set! Local shop had them from someone who took them off a new vehicle.I put hundreds of thousands of miles on the Revo II with my F-350; a very nice option.

Toyo MT were way better than the AT on muddy WY roads but they are way soft and wore out in 35000 miles on the f-350 and no mileage warranty.I don't think a tire is made that can defeat Wyoming mud.
Using Toyo AT3 on an F250. Highway and mud are both great so far.
It's all dependent on the use. One of my moose spot is 3hours of gravel logging road. A P rated tire would never survive. Glad it works for you.Yep, cheaper , lighter , better mpg ratings, i just don’t need em since forest service roads are my my only off roading

haCome again? Did you mean the MT was way better than the AT?
Going back this year. Gonna try to blow it off ASAP. Last time it was on my truck for a year.
Nice aggressive thread, I like them.Here are the new Coopers , they are surprisingly quiet , these are p metric, LT obviously has more tread depth , but these have the most tread depth I could find in this size 255/70/18
