    Called Discount Tire Direct. The associate I talked to is a Tacoma World member and hooked me with a warranty. Made my day a little better. I just got pulled over before that for not putting my license plate on the front of the vehicle. Got off with a warning so I can't complain.

    I use to have those on my black truck a long time ago. After that I went with BFG KOs then BFG KM2s then Goodyear MTRs w/ Kevlar and then I put BFG KM2s on my new truck. All great tires and will last long on these like toyotas

    Very. I only have felt that off camber once before and had to get pulled back via a winch because I didn't trust myself to get out of it alone at the time. Now I feel more comfortable but that shit still made me nervous. Never three wheeled my front that much but it made it worth it for the poser pic :p

    Damn I've never been stopped for no front plate, Texas police usually have better things to do.

    State Trooper! He was a nice guy. I have been running no front plate for awhile with no problems. I asked him if I could put it on the windshield. But that's not legal. So I may just zip tie it to the grill.

    If you want sidewall tread go with MTRs or KM2s

    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    KO2s also have sidewall tread and seem to wear decently on road (little noise or MPG hit)

    I might just get the KM2's then. Read reviews that they went 30-50,000 miles with the tread being half way.

    ALL OF THEM!...Then some more.
    Frank has a stupid bumping system. 6 speakers and 2 subs. About 2800w RMS total. Kinda stupid. That and Franks road nosie makes Igor seem like a cadilac.

    Love the MTR for offroad. But they do not last as long and wear odd and get much nosier over time then the KM2.

    Give it time to wear a bit. They will get loud..haha


    Get an AT. No MT will last that long.
    MTZs are soft compound and MTRs don't last long either.

    KM2s last a bit longer but an AT will be better. KO2s or KOs or Duafails..

    Wheeled it. First run on all the new stuff up front. I was too busy driving to get any good pics, this is kind of the best I got from someone else taking pics at the moment. I could hear/feel the front end moving like crazy, much more than before. And the ride was smooth as a babies bum. Amazing improvement.

    Pick the tire you want and then ask for the 10-ply version. I got these 10-ply Bridgestone Dueler REVO2s in spring 2011 and I still have a year or two left on them.

    I really don't like the KO2 look though. There's just something that makes the tread pattern look weird. But I think I'm going with KM2s once my discover run out of tread.
