    What sort of 'insulation' is the dealer installing in your tires? I got air in mine at no charge.

    Better off buying from a tire store than the STEALER. I would check around for the best deal. Goodyear sells other brands as well. I bought my Nittos from them & got a great deal with road hazard & lifetime balance & rotate included.

    i would go with generals, they are proven durable tires. Those are the tires of choice for my cousins class 7 ranger and now more and more off road races are switching to general they are getting very good reviews

    dont listen to this guy
    (obviously this topic is touchy for some people)
    since your doing a lot more city driving id get BFG A/T KO's.. theyre awesome tires and i know a lot of people on here will vouch for them...



    i havnt heard so much about general tire except that theyre used on trophy trucks a lot...
    if you really want a M/T i would get these (its what im getting next)

    I put the Westin Bull Bar and Side Steps (in black) on.
    I just got the General Grabber AT2 on my 07 Tacoma. So far I have been happy with them. I'm in Wisconsin and we are now getting some snow. They handle pretty well. There is a definite difference in road noise (obviously! - they are ATs). I still think that I need some sand bags in the back of my truck though. Not really for snow, but more for ice. I'm going to throw a couple hundred pounds back there and see how it is. Good luck man.

    OH YEAH. . . . . AND BUY ONLINE!!! Shop around and get a good price. It'll be cheaper than what you are going to pay. Should be less than $600 for the tires. About $100 for shipping. And maybe another $100 to get the mounted and balanced. Only paying taxes on $100 then..... JUST SAYIN'.... :D

    What type of insulation are they putting in your tires? Did you mean "installation"?
