    I couldn't take it anymore and finally changed those crap stock tires off. By far the WORST tires I have EVER driven on in my life. Picked up a set of dynapro atm's and HOLY CRAP what a difference! The ride and handling is like a different vehicle and so much better! I searched and read multiple posts about these tires on here and I'm so glad I went with them. I should have done this a long time ago! Thanks again Tacoma world! :)

    Actually I had them installed today and we have snow in northern nj (heavy wet snow) and they are awesome. And yes, I had the dueler ht's and the truck was un drivable in the snow without 4wd. When I drove home today, I stayed in 2wd and they are better in 2wd then the stockers were in 4wd! No more sliding sideways! I wouldn't hesitate to get them. I went with a 265/70/17 and am happy I did. Here is a pic (if it shows up)

    Pic worked. The sidewall tread is pretty badass on those tires

    Yeah I love the sidewall and there is a rim guard as well. Well worth the money imo

    I think the Bridgestone's that came on my truck are pretty good...They ride nice...no road noise...I have no complaints.

    I was just happy the tuck didn't have Dunlap's when I went to buy it.
