those with Toyo MT on 5th gen
Those who have the Toyo MT on the 5th generation, Do you think they are too heavy and lug the engine? i don't want to make the engine and suspension work harder because of the heavy weight. Do you find it isn't a big deal? I love the look of this aggressive tread and heard they are quiet and smooth.

thoughts please.

Goodyear Duratracs: 50lbs
Toyo M/T: 62.8

Seems a little in the heavy side. But def nothing that will do any damage.

I notice the extra weight of the Duratracs, but it is worth it. If you only drive the highway probably not the best choice.

Here is a thread about the Toyo's.

Finally! Got my tint, Toyo M/T's, and AR Mojaves installed on TE!

The tires looks awesome and seem great in every department except the one your worried about. I get about 11.5-14 mpg max with 285-65-18s. They are very heavy and really affect the 4runner at hwy speeds.

Edit: I'm rocking the Nitto Trail Grappler, however they seem to be the exact same tire when i was doing my research. Same tread pattern and aggressive sidewalls.
