    I've had em, and mine road like shit, your mileage may vary. It's all subjective, some guys think Duratracs are noisy, some think they are quiet.

    It's got a cop motor, a 440-cubic-inch plant. It's got cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas.
    because they are smaller. def get 265/75/16, you will not notice a difference in mpg and it will make your speedo more accurate. get c (6ply) d (8 ply) and e (10 ply) are the load ratings designating how thick the sidewall is and thus how much load it can handle. for off road purposes a thicker sidewall is possibly more durable and resistant to punctures. but they are heavier so take more power to rotate so you will see about 2mpg loss and may notice a perceived loss of power.

    basically for your purposes get a p265/75/16 (c rated)

    Also, the LT Duratracs are pinned for studs, they do enhance traction on winter driving

    I've been debating this myself... 265/70/16 or 265/75/16... My analog speedo is about 1 or 2 MPH fast, however my digital speedo is dead on accurate. By going to 265/75, my digital speedo will show about 2 mph slow, however the analog (never use it) speedo will be about accurate. I know it's not a big deal to most, but I want my speedo's to be as accurate as can be. My other vehicle is a Jeep Wrangler on 33's, and they have plenty of calibrators for them to correct for tire size, just wish there were a few options for Tacoma's. It seems Hypertech makes one, but not sure I want to use their product.
