    Thanks man! I'm not a fan of 20's on the Tacoma I think they are a bit big. 18's are the biggest I'd go. I don't feel a loss of power with my 275's. I lost MPG with my lift and tires and I'm getting about 17. I drive like an a-hole, faster than I should and I don't find a ton difference but I came from dungflop 245/75/16. I'm trying to figure out what I'm doing next for tires too! At the moment I'm leaning towards some 255/80/17 cooper ST Maxx. I'm also looking at 265/70 and 285/70 duratracs. I wish they made a 265/75/17 in a duratrac. I don't know why the loss of power for you. Maybe a re-gear? With the lift and tires it will change your shift points for sure. As far as tires and wheels, maybe go to an 18" wheel and some 275/70's or 265/70's. Just depend a on what you want. I personally like the look of a bit more tire and a little less wheel so I find a 17" wheel perfect. I love my setup but don't like the my BFG's. The ST Maxx have my attention.

    Just a c-hair below 32" OZ. Not sur what they set the pressure at and I need to find my pressure guage.
    They drove great on the way home (approx 30mi) at 75mph I was running about 2100 RPM. Caster is at 2 and feels a little looser than it was previously and wanders a bit.
    Truck is riding smooth and the Load E in these feel a bit softer than my BFG's. So far, nice in the rain! (it's pouring)

    get a shot head on with the spacers on. I am thinking of running that setup on mine but with spindles on a prerunner.
