question is. would you buy them again? Im looking at the Toyo open country C/T. A hybrid between m55s and a snow tire. PEople getting great longevity out of them. Maybe an update video of how they looked when you took them off?
Used M55s on my Dodge 2500 Cummins and liked them a lot. Cannot say anything about road noise as Cummins 24v engines are really noisy. Great traction on dirt, gravel and snow. When I swapped vehicles with my step dad with his one ton I put 19.5" tires/wheels on it. If I had remained at 16" would have used them again in a heart beat.
I love my M-55s on my old F-150! Worked great in snow last winter! Towed a car in the snow, no issues. we'll see this winter! need to rotate, I have a tie rod out, and is causing some bad wear on one tire!
Hey my toyo m-55s are great I have put almost 70,000 on them and they have lots of tread left. I really like them a hard tire thou, I dont mind the hum noise mine are on a half ton pickup thou so alot less weight.
They run them on forestry pickups here. Most are huge heaps of junk, so these tires must be good if they are willing to spend more then the truck is worth on rubber.
How do you feel they do with the camper on vs the old tires? I have a s&s 9fbsc slide in camper and looking at the m55 over the stock ltx at2 michellins because of having the 3 ply sidewall and heavier tread compound. Being a true commercial tire.
Anthony morel I don’t remember any change in the sidewall. I’m pretty sure it looked the same and ride was fine. Treadwear is definitely faster with the camper. I probably did ~5k miles with the camper and maybe about the same with a loaded trailer. I’ve also done about 40k unloaded but its a heavy diesel at baseline. I’m planning on doing a mileage report at some point. With a heavy load they wear ok. Better than other AT tires I’ve had but maybe still only good for 60k miles. I will report back with more accurate numbers when I get a chance.
Agreed! Overall I'm still happy with the tires. Excellent traction last winter in ice and snow. I'll make a follow-up video with tread wear report soon.
L Rizo had a hard time trying to find them . The set they finally got were almost 3 years old so I refused them . Ended up getting the General Grabber ATX’s . Love them so far . Been a great tire . I had the generals on my work truck . F250 , huge tool boxes 100+ gallon transfer tank . She’s a heavy bitch and got almost 50k on them and still a lot of life left so I figured I’d give em a shot on my Dually . But towing , snow everything I’ve threw at them they’ve help up great
@@LvDirtJunky maybe I'll look into those General Grabblers.. I tow over 30,000 pounds with just my trailer and cargo not including the truck pretty much every day and I'm looking for a tire that will last long enough to handle the heavy weigh and off roads I put this truck through. Yeah I would have declined those tires too, sitting like that for that long probably isn't good. I was also considering the Goodyear Wrangler duratracs but we'll see.. Appreciate it
Dr. DansGarage Nice I thought the area looked familiar. I’m just gonna be entering the oilfield and I’m gonna run a set of studded duratracs this winter. Any recommendations for a summer tire?
@@everything_delete8005 I have duratracs on my samurai. They are pretty good in the snow. I like them a lot. With studs they'll be great. I don't know about a summer tire. On the my truck I just run the m-55 all year round.
UPDATE: They lasted 76,367 km (47,452 miles), trouble free. I could've probably got a bit more mileage out of them, but I threw in the towel there.

I also was interested in the CT’s but they don’t carry them in my size.
This is the exact mileage I got on them also.

Must be something wrong with me because I love the sound the M55's make on my truck. Good tire.
Thanks for making this video, I have just ordered my set.
Great video and review. I was looking for this exact type of review before buying my next set of tires.
Hey my toyo m-55s are great I have put almost 70,000 on them and they have lots of tread left. I really like them a hard tire thou, I dont mind the hum noise mine are on a half ton pickup thou so alot less weight.
Hopefully they can handle the haul road up to the slope! That's where I do most of my wheeling and that road is a notorious tire killer!

Not a lot of info on these m-55 tires. Thanks for making a vid.
Bugs me they didn’t line up the yellow dot to the valvestem
Love mine on my 2002 Sierra 2500hd duramax. I have them in a 255/85 16.
I have a set of 6 255/85/16's for sale, no wear, just feathuring on the outer blocks even though regularly balanced.
Why not the Toyo C/T? It’s an updated option to this tire and features a lot bigger size range. They feature the 3PMS rating as well.
Sounds like a good option to look into.
Does Toyo state the M-55 fits within their line of off-road tires? I'm trying to determine the difference between the A/T II and the M-55's
You can’t see the difference?
It's not part of their Open Country lineup because it's an offroad commercial tire, that's sized to fit a pickup.

Anthony morel they do well with the camper. Stable, no problems. I keep them at 80 psi when loaded.
@@dr.dansgarage nice! Tread wear is ok? Hows the sidewall flex look like with the camper on?

Awesome thank you ! Looks like they’ll be my next tire on my Dually .
@@LvDirtJunky did you ever get them tires mounted on your dually? I'm looking for a set for my dually and was wondering how you like them..

I wanted them on my GMC but goddamn they are spendy$$$$$
Are you in Alberta by chance? Calgary area?
everything_delete yup, Calgary

How are they holding up so far?
I’ve got a bit over 70,000 km on them now. Will need to be replaced soon but still decent traction. I will update when I replace them.
@@dr.dansgarage thanks
Most of the noise is your truck lol....
Possibly the most boring 5:56 min of my life.
Thanks for watching!
Albert Head What were you expecting; fireworks and naked women? It’s a video about tires, man.
