Replacing 19.5's Toyo M-608Z.. Looking for advice

So I have about 40K on my Toyo's M-608Z Load G Tires, needing to replace them. I was looking at Cooper Roadmaster RM253..

Anyone Running these?

I currently have the Toyos in size 225/70/19.5 and cant go any bigger. All Advice on 19.5 Tire brands appreciated.

Thanks

    That is the size that I was interested in. However the Vision 81 wheels that fit my truck are out of stock right now. I even called Vision Wheel and they are on back order for at least 60 days on the polished aluminum ones. I don't want black which are in stock.
    What truck do you have these tires on?
  • People used to buy Michelins at Cosco really cheap. That might be worth checking on.

    Do make sure the tire weight rating is high enough no matter what you choose. I have a DRW, so I was ok with even Fs.

  • Thanks for the responses I was looking at both of those tires but at the price point and mileage I am seeing out of my current tires which werent cheap I am reluctant to drop a lot of $$$ for a tire to only get maybe 40K miles out of them and a lot of those miles were not even running with the camper on.
  • I have Michelin XDS2's on the front & rear. Only complaint is they sing a little at highway speeds.
  • I'm really liking the Bridgestone M724s. I run Fs, but they have Gs as well.

    I have Bridgestone M724 tires on front and Hankook DH-01s on rear both are F rated 225/R70-19.5. The DH-01s were much louder on the front and didn't seem drive as well up front as the Bridgestones. I previously had DH-01s on the front.

    Of course, the Bridgestones aren't quite as aggressive and are more expensive.
  • Yes worn out, I thought I would get more mileage out of them as well.. Not so much... Especially when you consider the $$ you are dropping on a set.
  • Why are you needing to replace them? Are they worn out? I thought those things lasted at least twice that mileage.
