    265-70. Im only lifted barely over 1.5" so they look ok, but going up a size will fill in a bit better.
    Gonna be a hard choice. Im on goodyear all seasons right now, love them. Also the Trailrunners look better than the AT3's imo. Its just that the AT3's are rated for like 5-10k more miles. Both are about the same price.

    If you're just looking for a solid all season I cannot recommend the Michelin Defender LTX more

    Oh if I actually used my vehicle for crawling/offroading it would be on some D window steelies. They just rust and look like crap in a few years out here is why I wouldnt use them on my daily.

    This is the obvious choice. But I dont wanna spend michelin money. Also Im looking for more of an AT/All season hybrid-ish looking tire. Something that looks a bit more aggressive but rides like a highway tire. The Yoko Geolander AT's that my dad has are nice, may consider those too.

    I had good experiences with Geolandar ATs on my 2003 Pathfinder back in the day. I would recommend them if they haven't changed much.

    True, that was a fair price for an oil change.

    Im hoping we get atleast one good snow this winter so we can test them. They ride really quiet, and do well in rain so they appear to be great tires so far.

    The general AT2's he had before were terrifying in rain. Would throw the rear end out at every turn if there was much of any water on the ground.

    it's the lowest i have seen in a long time since it was 19.99
    last time was 29.99 in KCMO but somehow came in at $37 after shop fees, tax and probably another quart

    What's a typical good snow for NC? We've already gotten a 6incher here, way freaking early too. But we usually get around 10-13" heavy snows during the actual winter month.

    Best 350 bucks I spent in a long time, 4 2nd gem wheels with almost new defender LTXs. Made my drive to Texas do much more bearable. Very quiet, firm grippy tire. Amazing ride.

    Those things have proven to be a god damn nightmare to keep balanced on newer tundras

    Cheap ol daddy Toyota finally spent a dollar on the tires their vehicles come with. Usually Toyotas come with the absolute worst tires on them, never anything nice like a Michelin. When did that start?
