    Hey Folks,

    I have been looking at swapping skins on Tacoma ever since I drove the rig in the rain.
    Anyone who live in Texas knows what I am saying about the wet stuff.

    I have been looking at these tyres specifically due to the price and the fact that they ARE NOT DUNLOP!!!!!( won't even use them on the race bike)

    http://www.hankooktire.com/us/passenger-cars/hankook-dynapro-at-m-rf10.html

    Does anyone have any experience running these?
    Reviews are mixed, some people say they are loud, others say the have poor wet grip......

    The price is good, 104 a tyre and no one has them in stock (which could be good or bad)

    Staying stock size folks, I have a short asian wife that has a hard time getting in the truck without a ladder.

    Key with tyres for me...long life all around performance, i will give up a little noise for better grip....

    Thanks

    Thanks, read the entire thread.
    looks like everyone is running BFG's or Cooper's

    I had Hankooks on my Ranger....loved them, but, that was California.....there is no adverse weather in LA..

    All I know is the DUNLOP AT20 SUCKS!!!!

    Yes Sir,

    Reading things fast and getting the important info out is a skill I learned as a mechanic and in the military, can't always hold the book in your hands and read along.......especially when oil is pouring out or you get covered in jet fuel....:D

    No specific airframe, I was a powerplant "technician". primary job was refitting f-16 and f-15 engines. I was not even assigned to a specific squadron or air crew. Probably because the job I had was phased out. Now you pull the engine, trolley out the replacement, shove in the tail, box up the old one and send it back to PW or GE so THEY can refit it.

    Sad, even good educational jobs like that are gone even from the military.

    Makes me wonder what my kids are going to do for work......or even an education......
