    I might be trading my 17" TRD wheels and tires in to dealership with 10k on them once the SCS stealths come in. I worked out a deal to trade them my set up for some 265/70/17's. I will have it leveled with 5100s also. Which A/T tires should I go with?
    Pics on your Taco would be nice if you have the tire ;)

    Let me rephrase the question... Which would be the best buy considering I want an aggressive look and good tread wear?

    I have Revo2's. I like them, not the most aggressive looking tire but a great performing tire.

    I was a die hard BFG AT fan for years and still think they are a fantastic option but, I put this set of Toyo RT's on my current Tacoma. The best of all worlds , an aggressive in between MT and RT.
    Love the ride, little road noise and fantastic traction on and off road.

    I had the original Revos and loved 'em.

    I've had Geolander AT/s that weren't bad but Cooper AT3s beat them all. The Revos were quieter but performed worse, at least off road, IMO.

    Tacoma is stock and staying that way, Pickup is TBA as of now.
    I love my BFG A/T KO's and they are wore out and still work pretty damn good.

    I have General Grabber AT2, mildly agressive looking, fairly quiet on the pavement. I'm not a offroader, but I hunt and often in the fall when the dirt roads are freezing at night and thawing in the daytime, they get greasy. These tires tend to clog fast as there is not a lot of space around the lugs, guess that's what keeps them quiet (relatively) on the highway. For what I use them for, they work for me, for serious offroading, poor choice. Just my 2 cents.

    I would go with the new BFG KO2, but it would be a hard choice between that and Michelin LTX, MS2. The MS2 isn't the prettiest or most aggressive looking tire, but I will be damn if it isn't the best all around tire you could put on a pickup.

    I like the MS2 for its sublime dry pavement feel and traction. It's even shines in snow and wet roads. It will get you through in a pinch if your off Roading, providing you are not trying to get stuck.

    IMO, the most mpg's your going to gain commuting in a truck, will be had with this tire. On top of that they seem to last a really long time.

    I have a new set of Duratrac's on my 05 and they are a great tires and ride nice. I just put a set of the new BFG KO2's on my 11 and the ride and traction is great also, but the KO2 is noticeably quieter. Silver 05 and 11 white in pics.
