    Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on them .. those are the Dynapro ATM ? I have the stock factory Hankook Dynapro HT tires and was thinking of maybe going to these sometime next year when i get new wheels.
    .. last ? Did you buy them online

    Yeah, scored a great deal from Discount Tire Directs eBay store. And yup the ATM.

    I went by DT themselves and they said they were phasing them out and he would have to out me in a Pathfinder something or another. I said no thanks and started I'll be back once I get my tires. He was cool about it and understood.

    I had these exact tires when I first upgraded. Great tire, did well in the snow, never had any issues off-road.

    Here we go,
    I'm sitting at the dealer now getting the front wheels aligned.

    I did weigh one of the tires and it came out to be 36.8 pounds. The marked shipping weight was 39 each so I'm thinking 37 is a good average number.

    I used my bathroom scale and weighed myself then grabbed the tire and weighed us both. The difference was exact when I weighed the tire by itself. Which I was suprised it was spot on. Guess my digital scale works well, don't tell me wife as she thinks it's a little off! :angrygirl:

    Before and After:

    I'll have more pics with different comparisons tomorrow hopefully.
    I have one more comparison picture but the light isn't good till after about 3pm.

    @beanulous128

    Couple more comparison pictures.

    I am really liking the size, love the look. I'm glad I didn't get a 10-ply, I have no need for them at this time but I think I'd take a big hit in mileage as I'm living in the mountains of Western NC.

    Thanks man!

    Even my wife liked the way they came out. "Baby the Taco looks so tough & beefy!!!!!! Fantastic!!!!!!" is what she typed in her email back to me the other day.

    I sent an email as the pic was larger on her work computer, hahaha

    Those look good. Be prepared to take a hit, mileage-wise. I replaced my stock steelies and Dunlop 245/75s with a set of TRD OR wheels with Firestone Destination LE2s. The OR wheels are a little lighter than the steel wheels, but the Firestones are about 8 lbs heavier tire. My mileage dropped a little over a mpg in both town and city driving, but the truck looks so much better.

    So true, looks mucho better and I'm keeping an eye on the ScanGuage. IMHO it was/is worth it!

    2016 SR 2.7 access that I put bilstein 5100s on @ 1.75 then added 265/70r17 general grabbers with a set of TRD sport take-off rims. I have some rigid industries fog lights that I am mounting up and will have an LCE header installed as soon as the funds become available!! IT NEVER STOPS:headbang:

    Looks great! Did you put the Bilstein 5100's on the rear to? Did you use the front stock coils? How much lift did it give you? I want to eventually do a small lift on my SR5 4x4 access cab but just say 1.5" or so .. nothing to where i need to replace UCA's or do a diff drop. I like your truck !

    Thank you!!! I am in love with how this thing turned out. To answer your questions, I didnt put the bilsteins in the rear yet but will be soon, I actually have no lift in the rear. I also have stock coils in the front with the bilsteins set at their 1.75" setting and after they settled i probably got 1.5". And i didnt need any UCA's so this setup is perfect for someone on a budget but still wanting a sick lookin truck

    Thats what im lookin for .. a slight lift on a budget. So is your front end sitting a bit higher than back right now or is it pretty level? Any rubbing with those 265-70R17's
    Thanks for all the anwers !

    Yes its pretty darn level. On some surfaces it looks slightly high in the front but 99% of the time its level. And nope no rubbing!!
