What tires you get?

 

I guess MA isn't all bad

 

Duracracks in 265/75/16

 

Western MA is a whole different world. That's Mt. Greylock in the background.

 

Are you saying there's more of the People's Republic beyond Worcester ???

 

All the good parts are west of Worcester!

 

Dragons, hippies, stoned college students, hippies with money.

 

Oh shit sounds like fun! what do rich hippies spend their money on??

 

Most of you won't get this, but...

 

Edit they have 3 at town fair so they gave me price matched load e bfg at2ko. Can't believe they came down from 211 a tire to 181, seeing I beat them down 2 bucks on the duratracs

 

I don't know where I fit into these categories

 

I'm really pleased with my ko2s. Most of the bad reviews here seem to be from people who haven't actually used them

 

Same, had them in my first gen for 100k miles rotating them every 5k. I'm not worried about the load e with the v6 like I was with a 4cyl lol

 

would love it if that was on my commute.

Ko2s are leaps and bounds better than the originals. They won't last 100k, but that's better cause there's more traction

 

I love my KO2s! They wear fairly slowly, so as much as I want to upgrade to 285s it'll be another 50k miles before I can justify it...

 

The original I heard lots of failure with the side wall. Sunday I needed to straddle a rut and this is where I tore the side wall trying to grip with no side luge as 20 psi.

 

Nice. The original were also like hockey pucks in the cold cause the compound was so damn hard. The newer ones have much softer tread compound and pretty damn strong sidewalls. I usually drop to 15psi when I go wheeling.

 

Looking to trade my 16 inch wheel and tire setup for a set of 17 inch wheels with tires. I have 265/70R16 Yokahamas with a good amount of tread left and I am looking to go more aggressive but still want an AT tire since I do a lot of highway driving. I am thinking I would like to go with 255/75R17s so I don't have to do much if any trimming. I know it's probably a long shot but if anyone would want to trade or has a similar setup please let me know. Also, if anyone has 255/75R17s and has any opinions/feedback/pics that would be great.

 

If anything look in the regional forsale, tbh I've had wicked awesome luck on the Tacoma world Facebook ground and fb market place more than Craigslist.
