On my second set now, got 35Kish on first set, could have pushed them to 40+K. Lots of harsh off-road miles on them.

Not exactly the question the OP asked, but I can tell you this, for gravel roads in the U.S. (and 3/4 minus driveways, etc), these tires are horrible.
The lugs have the perfect spacing for grabbing gravel and throwing it up. While driving the gravel road near our house, the inside of my Jeep sounds
like the inside of Bonnie and Clyde's car in that final scene. Now for Baja, obviously not as big a deal as those are generally dirt roads and not
gravel roads, but just thought I'd mention it in case your rig pulls double duty.

What you describe is what a good off road tire should do, get rid of anything it picks up. Mud tires are especially made to do that. A KO2 is not for
everyone. I have Pro-Comp Xtreme on my Tacoma. They are an excellent off road tire but make a lot of noise on the hwy. I also never got the balance
right so I'm going to the BFG KO2 and see how they work for me.

I disagree. There's a difference between picking up gravel and self-clearing mud. Although it has a M/S rating, it's not a mud tire, just an AT. I
have muds as well (different rig) and they don't pick up gravel (bigger block spacing between blocks). Anyway, be warned, or just ignore it, but if
on a lot of gravel, the OP might want to check out something else.

Oh, you are the OP. Anyway, and again, not your question, but perhaps take a look at Duratracs. Also verify the correct load rating as they have
different load ratings in some of the same sizes. Absolutely the best tire I have used. I believe only metric sizes (but I could be wrong), so not
sure if that's an issue for you or not. Outstanding mud and snow performance and quiet on the road. Not serious gravel P-nchers either. Good
cleaning performance and I got a ton of life out of my last pair on on an overweighted D-max dually with camper. Still looked great when I sold the
pickup (second dumbest thing I ever did). Wish I would have sprung for them for this Jeep project.

Last year I bough my first set of BFG KO2 - 298/75/r16's. They are a mean cool looking tread. They have been in the rear all this time and the tread
has excessive wear. The pressure is always good and I do a bit of towing, not much.
Has anyone experienced the same issue? This will be my last
set of BFG's if costco comes back with some BS stories about towing and heavy trucks.
If you do a lot of towing you can increase your tire mileage by rotating every 5 thousand miles. Keeping the best tires on the rear.

I currently own BF Goodrich AT. Been hearing good reviews on the Toyo tires Open Country AT. Planning to change the tires I'm using. Any other insights about the Toyo?

Running Hankook MT LT265/70R17 - 10 ply - 52 psi - 2008 4Runner @ 5000 lbs. Tires are rotated every 10,000 Km. Keeps the wear even. 30, 000 KM on the
tires. May get another 10k. Used in very sticky mud(GUMBO), high way towing two quads on trailer @2800 lbs and snow.
Road surfaces where I live much like the Baja from reports I've read and pictures.
Was running the tire @ 44 PSI but too much noise and tread on exterior showed wear. Quieter at 52 and even wear.

I do like mine, but they are the P-rated, not LT-rated. I like them for how well they work in all the conditions I drive: Quiet on the highway; Great
in sand for floatation; No problems in rocks; worked great the few times in snow and also great in mud. Never gotten stuck with Hankook tires.
The dislike is wear life, I have never gotten up to 40,000 miles with them (by choice, I don't like going to Baja on over-worn tires). I have gotten
flats (nail and sharp rocks and somthing I ran over on Hwy. 1).

I think Nissan uses the Dynapros on some of their 4x4s?

Yes "p" rated tires are cheaper than "lt" rated tires. Not as strong either.

If the outside or exterior side of the tread is wearing the camber is off. Camber should be close to zero, a little positive is OK but very little
(top of tire out), Negative camber will wear the inside tread and make the tires squeal on curves.

Failed to be specific about the tire wear. Running too low air pressure caused the wear on both outside areas of the tire. Thought process was that a
10 ply tire with a max rating of 80 psi would not require air pressure at 70% of maximum. When compared to a P rated tire with a max pressure of 42
and the air psi is set at 32, recommended by vehicle manufacturer, the approximate value of the psi is close to 80%.
