    I have a 2003 Toyota Tacoma 2 wheel drive, 2.4 liter, mainly used for highway but see a fair amount of snow, ice and mud also.

    Currently BF Goodrich AT 215/75/15 on the truck. I don't know if the shop that installed these did not set the front end correct or what but the front tires cupped within a few months making for a very rough, crappy ride.

    Everyone tells me these are great tires for my truck but after this experience I am ready for something different. I will verify the front settings this time.

    What are some tires that you guys would recommend? Is this the size I should be using?

    Thanks, Kevin

    ^ yar, he mentioned 2wd :p

    225 or 235 would give a slightly taller tire but should fit and are standard on most truck 15's. bought a new set for my S10 and 3 months later traded it in to buy the Taco due to engine issues. I had Kelly Safari SUV and loved those tires. good treadwear, temp, and ride quality.

    -also you may want to get a front end alignment, could be the issue with why they got cupped so easily

    also looking the factory tire size is 205/75's
