    Hello all I just got 4 new Hankooks Atm Rf10s stock size. What a difference! My truck feels way better. I got them from DTD great deal too! The only thing is what PSI should I run? I have them at 32 lbs. is that too much? I do mixed driving city hiway towing and some offroad+dunes. I cant believe how shitty the Dunlops are in comparison. Shame on you Toyota bad tire choice! From what others said on this site I made my decision to get the Hankooks. My research paid off. I welcome any advice or tips to get the most out of them. Last thing after a $100 rebate I paid $428 total.

    I was looking at Hankooks ATMS how do they feel on the highway and offroad?

    So far so good. I got about 500 miles on them. Hiway much better- better on bumps also. They corner like you cant believe and no noise!

    Since you chose to get rid of your Dunlops, I would call you alive. The Dunlops would get you killed. I agree, the choice of Dunlops by Toyota was a very bad decision. Clearly there is some Toyota purchasing agent getting lots of kickback money, booze and Bimbos sent his way from Dunlop.

    So, when did Toyota include Dunlop tires instead of the current Bridgestone tires? I quite satisfied with the Bridgestone tires on my truck (better than the Goodyear tires on my last SUV). Have no experience whatsoever with Dunlop tires, or Hankook tires. Do know "Hankook" means "Korea" in Korean.

    Odd thing is, the Dunlop Grand Trek's are quite an expensive tire. Those are what came stock on my 2006 TRD Sport.
