    Who said it was a Tacoma or RWD? Those Defenders were crap for me.

    We are on Tacomworld and you posted on a thread titled Have any OR/PRO owners gone to a Highway All-Season? I presumed you were saying defenders were junk on a tacoma. Why did you even bothering posting?

    Because I thought it was a junk tire, this thread is asking about tires, so I posted. Is that so hard to understand?

    This thread is about highway all-seasons for tacomas. What is there to not understand about that? You are just thread jacking and giving worthless information.

    Guess I will ask the question, why get the OR/Pro if you aren't going to use it? Looks? Image? Ride? It may ride better but handles worse. I just do not get buying a vehicle completely opposite of what you are going to use it for.

    No I'm not, I'm recommending against that tire for snow, no matter what vehicle it's on. Apparently I need a hammer to beat that into your head.

    My OR is mainly driven on road for now, but when camping I want the ability to off road on some mild trails and not have to worry. Then the ability to turn it into an off road beast in like 10 years.

    Have you driven a tacoma with the defenders in the snow? If not than how can you say it is bad on all vehicles? That is like sticking 35s on a prius and saying they suck on a mudding truck.

    There are certain inherent characteristics of a tire that have nothing to do with what vehicle it's on.

    Wtf that's crazy talk. When was the last time you needed a grenade launcher? Probably less times you needed 4 low but still you need one. And you know you do.

    Using it is a bit subjective. Based on features and price, the TRD was the only option for me and with the sport and OR being the options, there simply wasn't a benefit to the sport IMO. These tires are already arguably barely OR capable and so if I'm really going to use it OR I'd be getting dedicated tires for that while my normal commute is carried out on similarly purpose driven highway tires. I'm not a fan of compromise tires that try to be jacks of all trades. They may do everything decent but they fail to excel at anything.

    OP, I really hope you are liking your All-Seasons, but the real question is what are you going to get for off-road use?

    Tyler, he going to have two sets of tires, one for smooth commuting into work and another more aggressive set to go have fun with.
    There are several reasons to do this, the first is tires that are good for trails suck on pavement. The second reason is heat cycles, every time you heat up a tire you are reducing it's potential. By having two sets you get a safer ride to work and you don't end up like one of those Cali Bros on dried out half worn tread.

    No, you just need to drop the subject.

    Because if everyone bought the absolutely optimal vehicle for what they do, OP would drive a Prius, and the off-roaders here would drive Jeeps. :stirthepot:

    More so than a Tacoma. Angles bro, angles. Break over and departure are far better. Approach is probably similar. That is all I am going to say about that, not getting into a shit throwing match.

    Depends on the trails. Jeep wheelbase isn't the best for a lot, unless you have a 4 door.

    The Firestone Destination L2's came on my sport instead of the Toyo open country.
    I tried them out during the winter just to test their limits (I have some General AT's on stand by). I ended up being surprised at how well they did in deep wet snow and the like. I even made it up with out hesitation on slick ice while I was going up to ADK. That being said for highway use these will be more than capable and very quiet.
