I’m damn glad i went with a good name brand tire then

 

What tires were they?

 

toyo at3s the same tires you bought. i just had them in the taller flavor

they were awesome tires and tbh id like to try them again since others have no issues with them so im thinking i just got a bad set.

 

Oh dear, well, I reckon we’ll see lol

that sucks that you had a bad experience, did toyo do you right?

 

ya hopefully it works out well lol

and yes and no... it was mainly discount tire that did. i complained about the tires on here and the guys on tw discount tire helped me out and hooked me up with a local discount tire to help me out. after back and forth a lot... toyo bought back the tires at half cost which still didnt help me and discount tire said it wasnt enough and covered the rest and gave me a set of 275/70/17 falken wildpeaks since at this time i had ordered my 22 ranger and was wanting to swap wheels and tires onto it lol. so went with a smaller size tire to fit it but ended up selling them on the truck.

 

Great build and truck! Can’t believe I just now saw this

 

Well that sounds like an absolute mess! Glad you found a semi reasonable solution though

 

Thanks dude i havent updated much lately, i’ll get after it one of these days

 

oi oi oi what you doing in here!

yaaa it was rather annoying haha it was thankfully taken care of. but i also have bad luck with tires it seems... after i got rid of those toyos i had wildpeaks and they were great on the tacoma then i wanted another set on my ranger which was never good.... had loads of issues and had 2 sets swapped out until i went back to cooper st maxxs even thou they are heavy and chonky.. i miss my c load tires!

 

I’ve had decent luck with tires. Had a sidewall split on a pot hole on a p rated firestone once. Had a set of hankooks that never held a balance. Other than that, i’ve been buying name brand tires and have had great luck.

Both sets of falkens took a ton of weight to balance, didnt care for that personally but they held up fine

 

thankfully (knocks on wood) ive never had that kind of issue with a tire yet! ive always had name brand tires like cooper, toyo, bfg, hankooks, and a few others but the coopers have always lasted me well even thou they pull hard when they get worn down pretty far.

ya i had that issue as well with the falkens... hopefully the at4ws are better?

 

what am I doing here, what are you doing here!!




Admiring a great looking truck, that’s what I’m doing.

 

I’m here because i have a tire problem…

 

welllll i talk with him sometimes in the hotwheel thread and moto thread so i normally check others build threads in those areas haha

 

what kind of problem? buying to many or not enough?

 

Buying too many lol. I managed to put about 50k miles on my last set of Grabbers before I got something different.

I tried the Yoko g003’s in the middle of that 50K but they were 285’s and too big for my driving style so I returned them and put the Grabbers back on. Now I have Maxxis MTs but I keep thinking about trying 285’s again.

 

haha that does seem to be a bit of a problem there. what tire size are you running now? ive ran 255/265/275/285 so far my fav size has been 255 and 275s

 

I’m on 16” wheels. I’ve been running 265/75/16 for the longest and that’s my current size. I tried the g003’s in 285/75/16 but they just were too heavy for my liking even with a tuned truck. My plan for now is to stick with 265’s until our cross country trip this fall, and then consider 285’s again with a re-gear.

 

ah i gotcha if you had 17s id say try a set of 275s its inbetween both 265s and 285s and its been great for me on both my ranger and on both tacomas ive had.

 

That’s a good recommendation, I was actually considering switching to 17” wheels for a while just to run that size. I just like the look of 16” wheels too much and I love the ones I have. Plus I don’t want to spend the money lol
