    Exactly Gold Rush Tony Beets and Minnie too. Nice guys, we talked 7-8 minutes. Nothing about the show, just small talk about travel.

    I was honestly just kidding man. If you don't intend on going off road the at2 or terra grappler will be awesome in the rain and from what I've heard decent in snow. Both have a great treadlife warranty too

    How much does everyone's mpg go down in the winter? I'm looking at a solid 1.5 mpg loss in the cold at this point...

    Eventually I'll replace the Michelins that're on it now. Coworker of mine just bought those new Goodyears they came out with ("TrailRunner" I think?) for his Taco. They look good for folks like me who just use the truck for hauling and the occasionally county-dirt or farm road.

    Bw s256 turbo with 3 in glass pack dumped pre axle raptor liner bed and top rails and fenderflares and rocker panels. Hunter side steps. Plasti-dipped upper fenders and emblems. satin black spray paint here and there inside and out. 5100's set to 1.75" up front . C channel front bumper. Maxxis bighorn 255/85/16
    that's about right but I did this and regained almost all that's lost
    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/free-mpg-mod-maybe.349020/ I got a little mathy at one point but your an engineer so u can figure it out (a lot of variable assumptions on my part but still good estimates I think)


    obviously if u are letting you truck run in the morning to warm up u are getting 0 mpg at that point and that hurts

    hm, interesting. I don't let my truck warm up very much at all in the mornings. I'm really not worried about the mpg loss, I was just curious if everybody had it happen that much

    Well that is a good price but it is a 4ply tire. It is up to you if want a 4 ply SL or a 10ply LT E load.

    Check these out if you want. I just got these and they have RAVE reviews! Also, you get them in like 2 - 3 days! $188/tire!

    If you don't care about E load, here's a better price!

    Not sure if you need prime or not. If you do, I can help you out!
