    I purchased my 2014 Tacoma in October of 2017. It had 14K miles and has been a great vehicle with one (or two) consistent complaint. Until now. And I feel rather stupid for it. Just before selling the previous owner put on new Goodyear Wrangler All Terrain Adventure tires. I was glad it had new, decent light truck tires. But I never liked the "squirrly" or "floaty" feeling on pavement. We have some rutted roads around here due to trucks and studs but I thought it was something that wasn't quite right. Turns out that when serviced they were probably over-inflating the tires. Sticker on door recommends 30psi cold. I brought them down to a warm temp reading of 35 psi and the damn truck drives significantly better. Yeah, I feel stupid. I'll check the pressure first time I can get a cold reading. Now if I could make the volume knob bigger....
