Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

Shit....I thought I put that in there...I'll edit. 17x8.5

 

I'd really to secure a buyer prior to getting my new ones. If your interested I'll work with ya a little on the price to make us both happy.

 

I just got my truck all set up on 16" [stock] wheels and new tires. I'll forward the info to my buddy though, I know he's casually looking around for some new ones. Good luck otherwise!

 

Sounds good Alex. Let him know. These are pretty dam popular wheels and in a popular color, I can't imagine I'd have a hard time finding someone. You can also direct him to this for some more pics.

posted this in the inferno thread, but i finally made my way to this one. i'm from milwaukee and haven't seen many infernos yet, so if you see this one, its probably me.

2017 Off-Road DCLB

 

Bronze SR8's would look sweet on an inferno.....

 

yeah i'm liking the bronze, but might lean a little more towards black. but we'll see... this is my first brand new truck, so i'm going to take it slow and just enjoy it for now.

 

Lol, no worries....Here is a thread full of sr8's in different colors on different trucks if you want to see what they look like. If indeed you are interested in this model.........everyone does black, dare to be different.

Wanted to get some recommendations on tires and what has worked over the winter? Wasn't impressed with the last two sets of tires I have had, especially winter traction.

First set was Cooper AT3 that came on the truck when I bought it (stock size) and then went with a set of 265/75 16 Nitto Terra Grapplers that are load range D. Worked well enough over the summer and towing a small boat and trailer though even the traction pulling the boat out of some of the boat landings wasn't what I expected -- too much wheel spin and the traction on the roads with a couple of inches of snow wasn't what I expected based on the siping and online reviews with the Nittos. They are wearing well but the compound seems too hard.

So looking for any positive experiences to see if I can find some deals - looking for an AT tire that can handle snow but will work for towing the boat in the summer. Occasionally go up to Marinette county and drive the fireroads when camping. I find myself jumping in/out of 4WD too keep the rear tires from spinning in the winter weather and I carry about 100 lbs in the bed plus the weight of an aftermarket rear bumper.

 

Hankook Dynapro atm are a good value priced tire that is good in snow & rain and last forever.
Nokian rotiva's are also a good value priced, snow flake rated tire that is also a good summer tire.

 

Goodyear Duratracs. By far the best snow/all terrain tire I have seen. I personally don't run in, but have some friends that do. When they pass me doing 70+ mph on the freeway during heavy snow, I often question the tires that I bought lol.

 

I like my Duratracs and if they are too aggressive I would recommend the Toyo Open Country ATII. Both excellent tires. Toyo will be quieter and wear better but the Duratrac will handle snow better.

 

Would anyone be interested in doing a Tacoma/Overland meetup somewhere? Was thinking on opening it up to all makes/models, for a fun off-road type meet-up. Was thinking near the Appleton area. Anyone interested?

 

Sounds like something I might be interested in. I also have a friend (not on TW yet) who I could float the idea to.

 

Ive seen this guy around as well! Saw him parked on washington rd

 

Thanks for the input. Discount Tire is running their president day sale so I ordered up some Falken Wildpeak AT3W in 265/75r16 in the standard load size. They had $75 off for Falken tires, plus a $30 rebate in store and then they were willing to give me $180 for my Nitto Terra Grapplers that are on the truck. If I don't like these then I will go to the Goodyear Duratracs in load range C.

Also looking for a 5 spoke 4runner wheel to replace my spare with and Morrisons, the yard I would typically find wheels in doesn't have any and craigslist hasn't turned up anything either - if anyone has leads or another parts recycling yard let me know.

 

Did I see one of you Taco heads on 94 going toward Madison yesterday?!

Sandstorm 3rd gen with a rack over the cab?

 

Not me, I was on shift all day. Anyone in the madison area got an icon spanner wrench? I may need to adjust my coilovers and never ordered a wrench.
