    My truck is my daily driver and spends little time off road. I wanted to replace the 18" Limited wheels the truck came with, and selected TRD SEMA wheels as the replacements. Easy part, tires were a harder choice. I was considering KO2's or Duratracks but didn't need the off road capability, and didn't want the vibrations many on TW have reported. I selected Michelin Defender LTX M/S and I don't think I could have made a better choice. Not bad looking either.HKHSPggjSFOZrxdjVIatg_28529bbfa8b7625a857c4d7d6d162aa47eebfc4e.jpg yPqf3ZdYTcKl6GarzAq9mg_df9414fe079933929874d4e610ab44e67d299fb2.jpg 8CYmk7zcSxurtOfKP9lJxQ_acf77d133cb83c4d43bc6781b5a74f368ee81437.jpg

    Looks Good and those are some good tires. I don't have them, but know people that do and they all like them.

    I have a set on my wife's car, my ford and my parents have them on their tacoma and 4R. I want a set, I just hate That they aren't aggressive, however I don't need them to be. Dang the form vs function struggle I have. You will love them!

    If you want something that looks aggressive and performs well on the street, get a set of 265/70/17 Falken wildpeak AT3W’s. They’re actually pretty cheap and do perform amazing off road. They balance easily, so no worries about vibrations... and last 45k+ miles.

    They behave way better than my previous KO2’s both on and off road. Im on 285/75/16’s which wouldn’t be necessary for anyone who doesn’t go off road.
