Pensacola Area Scheduled Meet Thread

Goto offroaders.com Do some reading on tires. Its an awesome site.

 

BFG TA KO are great for DD, last quite a while ( 1 set 60k+, 2nd set 40k with plenty of life when I sold it on my 04) but aren't great in mud. Set on my '12 are my 3rd set, never had a flat.

 

gotcha, think im going with the duratracs....now for what size...., the 285s or the 315s...........hmmmmm

 

I have no personal experience w duratracs, but I believe ive heard they have fairly weak sidewalls. Again, just what ive read, not from experience

 

I have heard a lot of good things about duratracs, id like to get a set of 35 trail graps... but at like $340 a tire...no thanks, 35" duratracs at $231 per tire sounds a hell of a lot better

 

Just get the duracraps and get it over with

 

There's a lengthy thread about them here. http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/wheels-tires/74843-goodyear-wrangler-duratracs.html

Dudes seem to love them. I've heard of sidewall issues with the Load Range C's on rocks, but there aren't many rocks around these parts to worry about.

 

damn...someone seems a bit hostile lol, what would you go with then, Ive heard so many bad things about all these tires and when I think I have my mind made up, something is said and I am unsure about it then

thanks

 

Just get whatever you want man. Most everyone is going to tell you that they love their tire. I love my KM2's but I'm sure some people hate them. Don't try and make everyone else happy, make yourself happy.

 

Toyo M/T's are awesome. I've been running them since 2007. I yanked a huge dry wall screw out of one of them and it didn't even phase it, plus they have great tread life. The only real downfall is the road noise and the cost. Les Schwab up in the PNW has great financing though.

 

Another option is walmart. They can get pretty much any tire I believe and their premium package, which includes mount, balance, lifetime rotate & balance, and road hazard warranty is only $22 a tire. They don't price match with online, but they price match with local stores. SO, if you don't mind the leg work, you can get a printed quote from discount with the price match from an online retailer, then take it to walmart for a price match.

 

TacoMater and I think we should join the Alabama Tacos in there trip to Stony Lonesome on the 21st of June. I'll let them know some of us will plan on going. Let me know what you all think.

 

This is their thread. They are simply starting a list. http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/south-east/215769-alabama-off-road-mods-meets-thread-268.html

 

looks like some fun, I dont think im gonna be able to get my new 315s before then. I dont particularly want to wheel with that plugged tire.

I think with how my finances are now, I think it's better if I wait for the 315s and get 2 new 265 terra grapplers, and plus id have a full size spare too. If not...I might end up riding with someone possibly

 

well actually now that I look at my schedule...im not gonna be able to make it to this meet...I work the 21st but I guess that gives me more time to get some new tires and sort things out with what I need to do

 

What tires area you currently running? The Nitto A/Ts or the M/Ts? Saw the A/Ts at wally world today while getting my GY Authoritys.
It's $22 per tire for mount, balance, new stems, Road Hazard, and life time rotate and balance there. Pretty good deal considering most places charge almost that just to mount the tire.

 

hey im gonna post my reply in the pcola area tacos thread, so were not clogging this thread up with tire talk

 

Damn Chris that is a drive and a half....

 

Yea, I won't be going either. Roxanne and I are visiting New Orleans. I just still wanted one planned to keep the tradition going.

 

Question about y'all joining. So it's a no go for y'all??
