    1. Hello fellow Tacoma enthusiasts! I’m new to the forum and grateful to have discovered it.

      I have a 1998 Tacoma SR5 extended-cab 4x2 in need of new 225/70/14 tires. Unfortunately, Michelin no longer makes that size so I’m at a loss. (I’ve customily used Michelin tires on my vehicles.)

      Any recommendations from fellow Tacoma owners?

      Costco only offers the BF Goodrich Radial T/A ($138 per tire) in that size and a local tire shop recommended the Toyo Extensa AS ($94 per tire). I’ve never owned either brand, so I’m at a loss as to whether they’re good tires and/or worth the $.

      I live in the SF Bay Area so I seldomly, if ever, see snow. I do drive in torrential rain in the winter months so wet performance is important. I also drive approximately 5,000 freeway miles per year visiting family in the Southern California desert.

      Thanks in advance for any recommendations and/or advice. The sharing of your time and experience is greatly appreciated!

    any chance you want to go up to a 15 inch rim ? a lot more choices once you go to a bigger wheel. you can get the same size tire 225 70
