You mentioned long term tread life on the Toyos, are you running the LT or the P rated versions? I think I remember reading somewhere that there's a big difference between P rated & LT tires for silica in the compound. |
I had LTs in E load. From my experience toyos compound in general lasts longer than the competition. I think the LT compound is also always going to be tougher and harder than the P metrics. A 3/4 ton truck would likely roast a softer rubber with the increased pressures the tires would see.
My only comment here is I'm sure there is some tradeoff. As you loose compound softness you would also see reduction in traction? I'm thinking this softness effect is similar to how winter tires stay soft in extreme cold.
