Just wondering whether anyone had any information on the Toyo Tranpath MT tyre. At present, I know that they only come in a 31x10.5R15
size. Does anyone have any other information about these tyres?

I don't have any Info on them and i probably never will!
The one thing you need to look at when getting a set of OFF-ROAD tyres is how strong they are!!
You will notice that brands like Kumho, toyo etc will have a similar tread patten to the BFG or similar, the reason why thay would be cheaper is mainly the sideway strenght!!!
BFG and Goodyear have a 3 ply wall compared to the kuhmo that has 1 ply! (i would imagine the Toyo would be similar)
At the end of the day they will all have similar "Traction" that is able to pull you up that greasy hill but if you stake a sidewall (with a tree root, sharp rock etc etc) than you want as much sidewal strength as possible!
I know this hasn't answered your question but i thought you might want to see why not many people use them OFF-ROAD!

I have the toyos on my zook, nothing like a BFG tread pattern more like a baja claw without the sidwall bits. they are a 3ply sidewall and very stiff, I need to get down to 10psi before any noticable difference in the sidewall happens. great tyre for mud but due to no sidewall lugs they tend to slide sideways on sidehills etc.
