    Actually It was a $12 bolt that I needed two of that they wanted $28 (per bolt)for. I looked it up online and was able to find it from another Toyota dealer online for about $12 and the dude refused to price match. I didn't need it on the spot so I just ordered online, but if a local has it within a reasonable price range or is willing to price match, I'll go with that. I could have bough 5 bolts for what they wanted for 2. Just sayin', that's not a good way to get my business.

    How do you like the MTR's compared to the KM2's? Considering alternatives because I don't want to wait forever to put my new wheels on that I've already been waiting forever for.

    enough to go over stuff
    MTRs are way better than my old dynapro MTs. They are quieter and better traction on the ice and snow

    Agreed, MTR for the win, I had km2 before and I always felt they would "skate" in the rain and man do I hate that feeling. MTR/K are good in every condition and for how gnarly the tread is they are super quiet.

    I also really like the Cooper STT PRO they have awesome compound, tread pattern is great, all the reviews are good they have some really unique features not found anywhere else, and they are cheaper then the Goodyears. I was on the phone with Americas tire about to switch my order over to the coopers because I was tired of waiting and they just happened to get my tires that day, I stuck with the Goodyears but the Coopers will be my next tire.

    Thanks for your input. I like the MTR and I know they are a great tire but I want a skinnier tire, just personal preference. The MTR's don't come any thinner than the 285/75 and I'm sure that probably has to do with the asymmetric tread pattern. The Cooper's look great and you're right about the reviews but same thing with the width. I would buy either of those right now if I could get the size I want. Perhaps my patience will wane enough to make that decision for me before too long.

    Am I making a bad decision with a skinny tire for the areas we off-road here based on looks? @bayareataco

    I did not grow up in Sacramento so I'm hoping one of you know of a good spot off hwy 50 to take a 15 month old to the snow? Mostly just want to introduce my daughter to snow and build a snowman, so low cost/free would be ideal. The closer to Sacramento the better.
