Kansas City Tacoma Crew - 816/913

Yeah, we'd have to pull the head and scrape the gasket to run the indicator, so if he's gonna pull it he can do all that. What he'll probably start with is pulling plugs and inspecting the cylinder walls and running compression tests.

 

alright so i never mentioned it in here ( at least i dont remember it) but ive told josh about the issues with my toyo atIII's and how they are insanely loud and have some type of issue with them... got ahold of discount tire where i bought them from and at first all the were going to give me was 20% off on another set of toyos or they would buy them off me for basically nothing... other then that im stuck with them... i had made a post on the toyo atIII page stating the issues and how i was very unhappy with how they are to daily drive and how the noise on them is insanely loud at 64-70mph where i have to yell to the person sitting beside me.... the discount tire rep on here reached out to me and helped me out so now the store is going to help me replace my tires and get something that doesn't have an issue!

i know everyone loves the wild peaks but what other tires would you say to go with? ive been told some tires from nitto are also good and i also had good luck with my cooper st maxx. so give me some recommendations please!

 

Coopers. And if you eventually think you have problems with them, it's not the tires.

 

i had no issues with my coopers until they had next to no tread left haha the st maxx is known to pull to the right when they get worn down to nothing unsure why thou

 

Sounds like they did good. Maybe try the AT3 4s XLT?

 

ya they did awesome only reason i went with at this go around was something less aggressive tbh but i prob should have just stayed with a tire i know is good and ran since 2018 ish

 

Well truck is at the shop. Guy who's gonna do the work seemed nice. Here's hopping it's not thousands of dollars to get it going.

 

No they don't. You have a bad hub. Replace them both.

As far as tires go, Wildpeak AT3Ws are the best AT on the market, hands down.

Cooper STT Max are rock solid tires as well.

For a budget, Firestone Destination AT2 s are surprisingly good.

Nittos are loud and absolutely worthless in the rain.

 

Aren’t you getting a new truck? Doesn’t really matter what goes on this one..

 

yes they do man my hubs are new they are one year old it is common that the st maxx when the tire has no tread left they will start to pull

ya i figured that on the at side of things im between them and the st maxx again

 

im gonna try and keep my wheels so i might keep the tires as well and put them on the ranger then the tacoma will get what ever

 

damn are they really? i always heard decent things about nitto

 

I have them on both trucks (too good a deal to pass up on the 33s, and the silver truck came with them). Both of them break free in mildly moist conditions just by looking slightly sideways. Never had the issue with Wildpeaks

 

ah i gotcha man thats a shame tbh but oh well

im between the peaks or the coopers just for the fact i had them and they were great for years just aggresive so might go wildpeaks this go around since they are less aggressive and i dont need anything crazy anymore since im gonna go back to being a brovelander haha

 

For what it's worth I got the wildpeaks and I love them. They've done good in the rain and they aren't loud on the highway. Currently running skinnys.

 

Are they OEM, local parts store or NSK bearings though?

 

they are oem from a dude on here on tw lots of people run his hub assembly setup cant remember his name but i mention it on my build thread

 

ya thats why ive been looking at them also since i know a lot of people with them and they like them a lot

skip and a few others back on the sos thread told me to go through him over a parts store since most of them all run his hubs and beat the piss out of them with out issues so thats what i orderd

 

Went out to bring our trash cans in and my neighbor was out and I heard this little guy screeching



He's not savable, but he was damn cute. Neighbor asked if we should put him out by stabbing him
