    Would like something a little more aggressive looking but not totally off road aggressive to replace the Toyo's. Suggestions?

    Just some friendly advice before the "shit-storm" hits, Wes. There are hundreds of posts on tires here on TW. Might want to check them out with the search function.

    Depends to, since you bought a sport, I assume you havent purchased new wheels or got a lift? Youll be stuck with alot of street style options, things that are alot less aggressive as you also may not have the clearance for alot of the beefier tires.

    I just bought Michelin Defender LTX. One of the top rated tires on the web. It's not an all--terrain but where do you drive the most. I would suggest buy the tire for how you drive and not how they look. People put mud tires on and bitch about rattles on the highway. Duh!

    I love my defenders, they've been great in all conditions and IMO the absolute best street tire you can buy. Runner up would the yokohama G015 AT's.

    I got a set of Yokohama Geolandar AT/S that I'm very happy with. These are on the tame side of A/T tires and just take forever to wear down.

    The Goodyear Wrangler All Terrain Adventure with Kevlar have done me well for the past 1.5 years. They are the stock tire on the OR models. They have some nice tread and comfortable ride.

    here is one avenue of research: Check Nitto's website for some pics of popular options from Nitto.

    I have my eye on the Terra Grappler G2 as one option when my stock Toyos are toast.

    Before I found Tacoma World I was looking around at a Dodge dealership and saw a Ram Rebal with B F Goodrich KO2's on it. I had some B F Goodrich K series tires on my 4runner and they done great so I got the KO2's 265/70/R17's and put them on my 2017 TRD SPORT. I have not tested them yet in snow,sand,mud. After finding Tacoma World I see many others using KO2'S also. My tire dealer which have been buying from for the last 30+years has them on his on truck. I gave $210 plus tax for them each and they ride good is all I can tell you right now sorry. Now I wish I had not found Tacoma World lol!

    I currently have the KO2 and they are great. However, I lost ~2mpg and some power with them. I decided to go to a stock sized all season as 99% of my driving is highway. Looks are a thing, but you can't see them while you're driving. :)

    I stayed with stock size but I don't have any info comparing them with other tires so I can't help with mpg's with them.

    I did not get them for looks as in pretty I got them because the tread pattern looked like it would go good.
