I found this photo of the tire on a jk.. They look great!
I was reading on some different forums last night about these tires and some people complain that they're a very heavy tire. Someone even said they're not good for a jeep but who knows if they know what they're talking about. Is it really not a good idea to go with a heavier tire? Will it just kill my fuel economy or are there other downsides as well? Thanks!

I was sold on them as well until I found out there was none in Arizona and they are on back order. I went with the Hankook dyna pros in 285 70 17 and could not be happier. Has an aggressive look to them like the Toyo's.

Of course, the the 285/75R18, 285/65R18, 325/60R18 and 35/12.50R18 are all in the Xtreme tread. They mostly come in the larger sizes and most of the 35" flotation sizes. The tires in that picture at actually 35/12.50R20's. These are kinda hard to get right now, so I'd ask if you guys would call me with the sizes you are looking for. I can always call Toyo for any updates on production. They are catching up, but some of the larger specialty sizes tend to sell out as fast as we get them in. Thank you for checking us out! Let me know how we can help you.

I am thinking of upgrading to either 315/75/16s or 35/12.50/17s in the near future, is there much difference between those two sizes in the AT2s?
Thanks.

I do not know why someone would say that these are not good for jeeps.... They are heavy if you look at the extreme sizes but not as heavy as toyo or Nitto mt's

Looks like they have to much air or they are on rims that are not wide enough seeing how they are primarily touching the ground in the middle.

I think these tires look amazing. If the 275/70/18 came in the extreme I would order them today. I think the 285/65/18 might be just a little too short and the 35s are too big for my leveling kit. Dam!!!

i'm looking at getting rid of the stock 18s and picking up some 16" wheels. not a fan of wheel spacers when the lift gets installed.
anyone know if the extreme look is on the other sizes? i can only assume they are, maybe just certain ones though.
only looking to go for a 33" tire
