Tire Tire OH MY

OK, I put on Goodyear Duratrac 265/75/16 C range tires on last week. No super happy, little twitchy on the road and has a pretty good drone similar to muds. Probably more aggressive then I need.

So had Discount order Michelin AT2 265/75/16 E rated (Only available in E) but having second thoughts about 10 ply side wall stiffness and weight

I read literally 20 threads, so it is probably 50/50 on "E rated to much for Tacoma" vs "Go for it"

So my question is this will I be getting rid of drone BUT getting a super stiff ride and poor fuel economy?

We all know that the 3rd gen is a little weak on low end power and downshifts a lot and I worry that the E rated tire would make this all worse.

Or does ANYONE have a tire Discount Tire carries that you might recommend in that size.

Thanks

Two words, KO2's bro.

 

Happy with my Cooper AT/3's from discount tire direct

 

C.

 

You giving those away so easily.

Alright

So here's mine, Toyo AT 2. I like them, still getting 20~ mpg. Not as good on road as radials in any aspect, but the sloots love em.

Btw, these are 6 ply tires.

 

Ya that's it. What's there to hate, your running the same wheels and tires as everyone on this site.

 

Aiiiiyyyeee paaaahhhpppppeeeeeee
Unloading now

 

Haha ....Im all blanks now.

 

Not many running the 35" flavor.

I haven't seen one Tacoma in person running ray-10s, and there are tons of Tacomas in Santa Cruz.

 

Don't take me seriously, I love the ray10's. Not the biggest KO2 fan. But who cares, your setup looks great man.

 

Always good to bring some intertainment into these tire battle threads, good times.

 

O I know, there's so many I go in Hard. Like Hard...Hard.

 

On that note, I'm gonna have to see myself out now lol...

 

Same here

 

LTX AT's are pretty quiet for an AT, BFG's aren't terrible either. Toyo AT2 is my favorite but it doesnt look like discount carries them.

A pmetric SL tire will behave much better on a small truck. Most of us go E rated so we can air down and be less afraid of sidewall punctures. E rated also makes towing a breeze with no tire squat or premature wear.
