Ontario BS Thread

You are going with the AT for the look I am guessing?

You will get better gas mileage with street tires if you do not plan on playing off road.

 

I had a set of those tires on my last truck 2500 ram diesel. there excellent in my opinion never had a problem with them not balancing or wear. I would not recommend as an offroad tire but for daily driver I'd buy them again for sure...

 

Tired of changing tires every season so I wanted a tire that is rated for winter and can stay on all year. And it looks kinda knar. :0) I'm not saying I won't go off road but it will be to get somewhere not to go off-roading.
These will be 17s still.

 

I drove alot of gravel roads with them, its good for that. My truck was heavy so mud and wet grass was not so good. Mine were D rated I hauled trailers and used that truck good, don't rally care what you get but you will not be dissappointed with that tire, and if i can remember correctly there were only something like 340/tire for a 35 12.5 17 that was years ago though.... good luck with your decision...

 

I have the Road Venture MTs and run Blizzaks in the winter. The Kumho MTs are good offroad but loud as a daily. What does your friend sell the ATs for?

 

I'm waiting for him to tell me if I can share that info.

 

They are 265/65r17s $158 plus HST per tire for anyone interested. A little bit less for me. He can also get Weather_tech mats a bit cheaper than others at $ 140 plus HST . Those are fronts only laser fit. The ones that are usually $160. or you can get the full set for $239 plus HST
I would just PM whomever is interested and you can deal direct with my friend. He's in Hamilton area.

 

K I have to get to work. back at lunch

 

Check out TireRack reviews filtered by brand (so they're from vehicles with similar weight as yours). It's a much better statistical sample size than the few people on this board: https://www.tirerack.com/survey/Sur...7AT51V2&tirePageLocQty=&partnum=665TR7AT51V2#

Seems like an average AT tire.

 

without getting into specifics on this tire but considering cheaper tires in general...if you are willing to pay a little more up front for savings down the road there is a reasonable argument that your total cost over the life of the tire is actually less with something like a Michelin when you consider fuel economy and longer life and you will typically get better performance along the way.

 

I agree. In all the years I have purchased tires for the cars I've owned, I have noticed that spending that little extra for a better quality tire you get better performance and longevity. Doesn't mean it's always the case but for the most part it's true. Especially performance across all conditions.

 

I read the Tire rack reviews on these tires yesterday but thought I would get input from local Tacoma drivers. I agree with you. I usually like to buy something a little better even if it cost a bit more.
Thanks Guys!

 

Single cabs

 

That just moves the accident to the front (bench) seat.

 

I shall quote some recent 'song', they all sound the same

'She ate em for dinner, she a baby killer'

 

I had a set of Yokohama G015 that did really well, it was amazing in snow and did decent on easy trails, actually better than I expected, and they lasted for about 90k km on one set.

 

Just got jabbed with Pfizer stage 1. How many inches is this supposed to give me?

 

That's a really good tire, just ask @Norilsk

 

It decreases actually.

 

So my 8.75" third member will shrink to the size of 2nd gen's?
