2009 Mica Pre-runner 2.7, 5sp

2wd access cab, 5sp, limited slip, 4cyn. I live in Seattle, so we run in the rain and have a lot of hills... The truck came with 215/70/15 Goodyear Integrity's and they suck! I have to keep 100 lbs in back for traction anytime it rains and I have a canopy. In the snow... forget it... I need to improve traction.

So I've been looking at Michelin Defenders LTX M/S 215/75/15 that a lot of people like, or going 235/75/15 for more tread on the ground, but worried that the increased height will load up my poor little 4 banger to much.

The 3rd option is going to Firestone Destination LE 2, 225/70/15 for slightly wider but close to the same height.

I'll take any real world opinions and even some that are off world ;-)
