    sorry if this has been beaten to death but here it is. 2015 Tacoma damn near stock everything and need new tires. I have stock Bridgestone 265/60 R18 and looking for a new tire as it’s getting close. I only do highway and city 0 off-road. What brand would be a good recommendation that people like for this? I suppose I could keep the same if good but not married to it. Just looking for something that people have had success with for this truck/ride. I am not a tire guy so this is why I ask because not my strong area of expertise.
    Thanks in advance

    Could always get Michelins, great tire, but the slightly cheaper route would be Yokohamas, very comparable to the Michelins. I currently have the 265/75r16 YK HTX tires and they are great, very comfortable, lots of grip even in rain, i like them, but the second my lift goes on so do 285 wildpeaks

    Since I drive a 2wd and am mostly city/hwy I run cooper discover A/T 3’s they great tire! I got almost 60k out of my last pair. They also have very little road noise and look good.:D

    any winter driving with the tires? i'm in the same boat and debating either those Coopers or Duratracs (currently running Grabber AT2s) which are an amazing tire but aren't available at local tire shop

    Another vote for the Michelin LTX. Been running them on my wife's vehicle for 5+ years and they have been great.

    Had these for 25000+ 4years, only rotated them once and didn't keep up with tire pressure. I think they were 2 a piece, main reason I went with these is that was the tire being used on this wheel, and a rebate.

    Goodyear Wrangler silent armour. I give them my vote of confidence, for an all around decent tire for a Tacoma.

    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    Michelin LTX is the way to go, love them on my Land Cruiser and they were awesome when I still had them on my Tacoma
