Tires

Looking for advice on tires for my tacoma. Have the stock 17 inch wheels.

 

Well Chris what kind of driving do you do, will you be going off road?

 

We're glad to help you, we just need a bit more information. You see each tread pattern has a very specific application. So . . .
-Is your truck stock height suspension?
-What terrain do you drive on most?
-city/highway percentage?
-weather considerations, ie. snow a factor?
-what type of usage will they see most?
-what kind of off roading (if any) do you do?
etc
Once you provide more info tons of advice can be given

 

I just out on General grabber at2 tires.

Love them in every aspect.

Quiet on road
Loads of grip offroad/rain/snow
Cheap

And I got a 265/70/70 nearly a 32" tire. Just the new tires makes the truck look loads better than stock!

 

Everything is stock on my truck. Most city driving. Looking for something that's quiet like stock but still effective in rain/snow. Don't do any off reading

Thanks for the advise!

 

real helpful.

Well some less aggressive All Terrains rated for wet/snowy conditions sounds like your best bet. There are a ton to choose from.

Cooper Discoverer AT3
BFG AT KO
Bridgestone Dueller Revo 2
Michelin MS2
Nokian Rotiiva AT
Hankook Dynapro ATM

These are all tires with good reps around here (only ones off the top of my head, I'm sure there are more I'm missing)

You may want to start researching some of those and see what you like about them. You also may want to consider what load rating to go with. If you don't haul or tow much you can go with a lower load rating, even as low as a P rated (passenger), if you do move a lot of weight you may want a C, D or E rated tire. It's all up to your application for them.

Do you know what size you are going with?

look thru that thread and find one you like the look of

I suggest an all-terrain tire, bit louder but after a month you wont notice it

 

Ah yes, Toyot Open Country, Nitto Terra Grappler, and Goodyear Silent Armors are a fwe more to add to the list I see there^ Great resource. Just remember not to pick tires off looks but by their intended function. Too many tards run giant mud terrains because they think they "look" cool and run em on pavement and snow, neither of which is their strong suit . . .

 

265/65 r17. Don't haul much so I might get something in the middle of the road to be safe.

Thanks for the info! I will do a little research.

I know the Michelin MS2 or LTX MS2 are amazing for your described needs. Dads got them on his 4 runner and they are really good in snow/ ice and last forever. Hes got 62,000 miles on his Michelins and they are still in good shape.

Sorry just get sick of these thread.

 

Got pictures?

 

Best I got right now. This is at like 60,000 miles

 

For a less aggresive all terrian tire i would recomend firestone desination A/T. I ran them on my old s-10, i think they drove on road just a well as a highway tire on the rain, they did pretty well in the snow and they were very quiet for an all terrain

 

+1 switched put the stock dunlops AT20 with <500mi for Mich LTX MS2 thought they can be pricey.

The LTX MS2 did feel like it had a little more rolling resistance. Noticed the truck lost speed faster while rolling downhill on daily routes.
