I was looking at the entry list and there are 8 entries out of 30 in the Trophy Truck class using Toyo tires. Several are top name drivers. Looks like
they are giving BFG a run for their money. It wasn't long ago that Robby Gordon was the first to use them in that class if I remember right.MMc - 5-25-2016 at 09:45 AM
The Generals are taking some of BFG's rides too. I think it might be sponsorship over anything else. If a tire is good enough to get you to the end
and they are cheaper, why not? willardguy - 5-25-2016 at 09:55 AM
Mag7 is offering free pit service to all Toyo customers both 500 and 1000 this season. StuckSucks - 5-25-2016 at 09:58 AM
COPS Racing has made the switch to Toyo. We'll be at the B500.

I switched to Toyo a few years back and am happy with the MT's. They are heavy as hell but I don't have to worry about them blowing out on me. (Well,
I still worry and carry repair kit, compressor and spares). I would run the AT2's on a street truck any day!
Not to mention...BFG has been skimping on their sizes with the introduction of the KM2. They are not true to size and that peees me off a little bit
as a consumer. Heard the KM3 is coming out sometime in 2017. Should be interesting if they actually make it true to size.
Toyo A/T's

I run Toyo Open Country A/T's on both of my trucks (2006 Tacoma Double Cab 4x4 and a Dodge Ram 2500 Double Cab diesel). Great tires, no performance
issues and great wear. Both trucks spend 6 months in Baja.....dealing with the potholes in Ensenada and on Hwy 1. No problemsrts551 - 5-25-2016 at 05:02 PM
Its not about the best tire. Its all about sponsorship. We will probably switch from Toyo to BF Goodrich because of free pit support.StuckSucks - 5-25-2016 at 05:35 PM

I think that's exactly true. And because race programs change, there seems to be a migration from BFG to Toyo among race teams. What you said: nobody
provides better pit support than BFG.
