    A lot of you have posted some incredible pictures. Since I still have two months to wait I am busy thinking of all the tire possibilities. I don't plan to keep the stock tires that will be on my TRDORDC Quicksand, but also don't plan to lift for quite some time. What I am looking for is a great all-rounder. I live 4 miles off the pavement and mud-season and winters can be interesting. I don't plan to get dedicated winter tires. I've been thinking of BFG AT KO or Goodyear Duratracs. Anyone have some other suggestions? Pictures get thumbs up!! :thumbsup:

    I love this look, btw, but no lift for me for a while yet.

    Wet Okoles, Satoshi grill, Hella 700's hid converted, Alpine audio install, sound deadened, limo tint, 4.7 Tundra TRD Catback, 3 inch procomp, bed lights. To come TRD supercharger, roof racks, stuffing 285 70 17 trail grapplers.
    Look up the new Cooper MTR's they are exclusive to Discount Tire and are cheap compared to all tires mentioned above. One 285 70 17 will run you 205$

    I've read that some people find the sound at higher speed annoying, almost like a buzzing noise. What's been your experience?

    That's what I'm going with... about 6-7 pounds lighter per tire in the 265/70/17 range than the KO2s...

    I run a 285/60/18 dry and wet handling is really better then any other tire I have tried I don't no much off roading per say just off pavement all day every day at work and these have performed great

    I'm gonna have to give these a serious look too. So many choices!! I know, I know, I'll probably be happy with whatever I get, but this is my first pickup ever (always SUVs), so I'm pretty pumped. :mudding:
