    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    What size would you buy? I noticed right now Walmart is about $50 less on this brand than anywhere else. I got Discount Tire to match them.

    doesn't sound bad at all. At least you know it won't last you a gazillion years like another brand... ;)

    definitely will come in handy for you
    snow performance was one of the key points when the company independently tested and then designed it

    especially -

    design also helps in rainy conditions, where the Kumho Road Venture AT51 is above average in its class

    I drive the cruiser about 15k a year, so if they make it two years for what I'm paying I'll be happy. But I bet with my 5 tire rotation they'll make it even longer.

    Only Michelin car tire I've ever used are pilot sports. Never seen any others that were all that compelling for the price

    i havent shopped around too much. but compared to the bridge stones and the continentals i tried on the car. the Michelin have been great for 25k miles... and they were take offs off a new car.

    Well it's a solid axle, can't really fuck the camber, can't easily adjust caster. It only has toe haha. The front an rear axles are aligned beautifully with each other too.
