So I have 265/75R16 snow tires from my Nissan Xterra that I want to use this winter on the new Tacoma. Went to the local tire shop to get a quote for a set of steelies. 4 wheels, plus TPMS sensors, wheel balancing and taxes comes to $944! That's insane. I'll probably just end up spending $1200 for a set of 265/70R17 BFG All Terrains mounted on the stock 17" wheels. They are severe snow service rated so I'll just run them year round. Then I can sell the factory 17" tires and the 16" snow tires to recoup some of the cost. What do you think?
