    Hmm. If you had another chance, would you go with wider tires? Is there any problems with airing down for you?

    Nope, no issues at all. I air down to 15 PSI when I hit the rocks and have no worries about popping a bead.

    Will running this size of tire affect my towing and payload caps? I'm sure it has been answered in this thread but i will admit i do not have the attention span to read all 35 pages of this thread haha.

    Thanks

    It is a load range E tire so you will be fine towing anything reasonable for a Tacoma.

    And are ready for studs. Tire size has nothing to do with ice traction, it's all about tread design and compound.

    Can studs be removed? or is it really worth putting studs in?

    Yep - I was referring to the KM2s. Not designed for ice, but others in this size would be better suited.
