    Another newby to the site..

    My question is here has anyone here put the michelin xml's on a taco?

    Thinking about throwing these under mine I know they a little heavy and have a tendency to not hold up at high speeds 65+mph, but with the light weight of 2.7 you think this would be a problem? Not saying il be exceeding 65mph often lol but just a thought

    Like MrGrim said.

    They are much cheaper, would last much longer, and I personally like the look.
    Just seeing if anyone had experience with them on a tacoma

    That's a big tire for the 4 banger :eek:

    Also, if you want cheap tires that you actually run the highway with, check out Treadwright tires.

    Stiff as shit dont flex very well. Designed to last a long time and carry weight. Not ideal for rock crawling. Still they wont be bad.

    Some stuff. Not a lot, just some.
    3 sizes
    16"
    16.5"
    20"

    The 16 is a 38" x 12.5" and will fit a 7" rim...which the 2.7 will absolutely hate but you''ve got 5.29's and 10 inches of lift.

    There is a 36" out there but they are rare I guess.

    Dueeee eeeettttt!!!
