Default Toyo MT Tread life?

What is the life expectancy of these tires? Id like to hear from the user, preferably in the 35 inch size. The day of ordering my wheels are fast approaching, however my truck, FOR THE MOST PART, will be staying on the pavement. How will that affect the tread life since its a mud tire. Thanks guys!

edit: oh ya and im talking miles here just to be clear.

well i have them in a 37 they are not a street tire , so if you want a aggressive looking street tire look into LTZ's or terra graps . i drive my truck about 3k per year and most of that is off-road so i went with the toyo mt because it is good in the mud and muck .

most guys that have them will get 30k out of them driving on pavement , i will most likely get 60k as i dont use the truck that much.

i drive a company truck all the time free gas, i use my truck on vacations and mostly when i go hunting in state and out of state. see i have a crew of 3 guys that go everywhere with me hunting threw out the year and threw out the state the mega gives me all the room we need for equipment and video equipment ect . the places we get into if you dont have a MT tire your screwed.

ya im aware that they arent a street tire, but i am also aware that they are probably the best looking tire ive ever seen. Im debating whether its worth it or not because if its 30k theyll probably last me like 3 years.

I had them on mine. I never went off road with them. My truck was all for pavement and looks. Tread life can last long if you take care of them. Rotations/PSI etc.... You can easily get 60,000 + miles out of them. Just dont do burnouts.

I have Toyo MT 37s on a Chevy with 30k and they have about 2/3rds tread left. Keep them properly inflated and rotate them and they will outlast about any other MT out there. They are also quiet for an MT and are very easy to balance, usually less than 2 oz.
