those with Toyo MT on 5th gen

[4RunnerTrail]

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.

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.
