    For sure on the test drive new tires. They really change a vehicle if you don't go with the right ones.

    I have my toyo's that came on my TRD sport and they are ok, but the reviews I have read on hear are they will crap out early. I will go with michelin whenever that happens. I have had a set of michelin on all my trucks and never had a complaint other than price.

    I went from a limited to a pro because I wanted a combination of the Off Road and the limited. I rarely used the sunroof so not having that doesn't bother me. I'm going to upgrade the speakers so not having the JBL is actually a plus for me. The JBL system is difficult to upgrade.

    When I upgrade the speakers I will add sound deadening material also. I have Cooper STT Pro's on mine so they are a bit louder than the KO2's.

    I have seen it mentioned on a few other threads this morning that the E load rating of the 275 KO2 contributes to the rougher ride compared to a C load rated tire.


    Thoughts?

    I've got E loads with Cooper ST Maxx and don't notice any rougher ride. It's a truck.

    It does have a little less power but damn, put your foot into the pedal. It's not a race car.

    I love my E loads but everyone uses there trucks for different things.

    Alan,

    I have my limited wheels with stock Michelin ltx m/s2 tires which are some of the best "highway" tire you can buy and they are butter. I'll be willing to trade straight across as I need a more aggressive tire. Let me know. Thanks.
