Swapped out tires to 255/75/17 Firestone Destination XTs

 

Get after it! I've spent a lot of time in AK for work and pleasure... love that state.

 

That Land Cruiser is badass! Any more pics?

 

No more chrome BumperShellz

The gods shining their spotlight on the best Tacoma color

 

What were you running before the Firestones and are these pretty quiet tires? I ran the ATs on my FJ Cruiser and they were nearly silent...

 

I had Geolandar G015s. The Yokohamas were quieter but they're much more of a street tire. The XTs have more noise, but its not a lot of noise. For sure quiter than Open Country AT3s and K02s. I don't notice it unless I have the radio off for some reason (which lets be honest, is almost never). I'm only 300 miles in, but I've got a 1k mile road trip coming up this weekend so I'll have a better idea afterwards.

I chose these in part because of the weight. These in a C load 255/75 weigh slightly less than the SL 265/17 Yokohamas

 

The K02s were what drove me to the Destination ATs. I was going deaf running those tires! FWIW, I looked at the XTs closely before giving in to the Michelin LTX MS2s. I don't offroad at this time, don't plan to anytime soon so going to street-oriented tires was the logical choice. Like you, I went for a lighter tire than was on the truck when I got it. Went from around 44lbs a corner to 37lbs. Haven't take an after pic yet, here is the before pic on new to me 22 SR5:

I'll keep the Goodyear Wrangler tires and put em on some steel rims I have from my previous Tacoma...

 

Ignore all the dirt

 

Here's another poser next to 100 series.



And some 3fe love... owned it for 17 years, 285k on the odo.

 

Wife just bought a 2023 with 1500 miles on it. Great truck

 

Caught a rock on my Colorado road trip. Windshield replaced toddy. 39k miles.

 

Beautiful scenery, where in TX is that? …..that’s part of what keeps me in cancerfornia.


MGM is great to look at but man it shows dirt worse than black or white!
…..still love it.

 

Spring/summer wax. She’s shiny for now.

 

Wow, I need to do that.
