    And they're so stiff. That's what I don't like about them.

    I'm sorry you pay for what you get. If I can spend a couple extra hundred dollars and my tires last me a couple extra years, I'm good with that.
    Now there's an actual observation instead of saying they're lame. They are stiff cause they're not meant to air down. I mean, they're thick tires, mine being 10 ply. But that means they're tough also.

    Unless you're driving the Baja 1000 or towing 15,000 lbs on a daily basis, I don't think they're really necessary.

    Talking about E rated tires?

    You get what you pay for.

    I'll never put P rated tires on a truck again after splitting a sidewall on a fucking pothole.

    Having tires that last 40-50k+ isn't necessary? Well, at least I don't have to worry about my sidewall being gashed by a rock.

    I mean, how often are you into serious rock crawling in a Prerunner? I've got C rated and have pushed them pretty hard and have yet to puncture a tire. They're coming up on 40k too with plenty of life left. E rated tires are overkill on a Tacoma unless you've built a dedicated rock crawler who never sees pavement.

    If you could just see all the slices and chunks out of my E rated tires over the years...shit that would've made you walk home if you had P rated tires, probably even C rated.

    I've never punctured even a C rated tire. I'm not a rock crawler. That's why I don't need E rated.

    Never said I'd be rock crawling. But rocks and road debri exist. I understand your point if you're saying they're expensive, so you don't know. But coming out saying they're not worth the money, and suck is ignorant. I mean, I'm guessing you've had all kinds of mud tires right?

    or you want mud terrains and they only come in an E load. and before you try to make the argument that an aggressive a/t can do whatever an m/t can do...

    I never said they suck. I said they're expensive, heavy, and overkill for your average tacoma.

    For you gun enthusiasts... Cabela's has $100 off S&W M&P Shield's right now. Plus, two free mags and two free boxes of ammo. Picking mine up on Friday. Can't beat it for $350.00

    Idk how they're overkill...they're mud tires, heavier, louder, and harder to stop than stock tires. Just like every other mud tire lol

    I can't get a love for the single stack. I had a shield for a while and sold it. I had an M&P9C and dropped an apex trigger kit in it. Best handgun I've ever shot
