The Toyo's are a really tough tire with excellent off-road traction (surprisingly even at full inflation), but as Larry said, they are extremely heavy which you may want to consider from an unsprung weight perspective. They also appear to be wearing out rather quickly, which I believe Blaine had the same experience with when he previously ran a set on one of his pickups.
Yep, I was not impressed with getting 20,000 miles out of a set of not cheap tires. That said, the Toyo M-55's on the Dodge which are supposed to be commercial and wear longer did no better and were 3/4 gone when the insurance replaced them at about 25,000.

I'm pretty much done with Toyo.
