    Does anyone have a picture with these wheels a 2nd gen Tacoma. Even better if someone had them on a TRD Pro in Inferno so I can see what it would look like. Maybe thinking about changing my wheels from the factory 16" TRD Pro wheels to these 17" wheels.

    for our tacomas, unless your doing serious rock crawling or rocky terrain offroading, a E rated tire is an overkill.

    Bringing this baby back!! I am looking at the 275/70/17 tire size and I want the aggressive look that KO2s offer but they only come in E at that size. I hear what y'all are saying. I guess I am having a hard time really grasping it. The 265/70/17 is offered in C. I am torn. Would I really notice a harsher ride? My daily commute round trip is 10 miles but I do like to take road trips. Peace!!

    if you're asking if E's will run harder/harsher than C's, the answer is still yes... you've seen that a hundred times no doubt. but you can run E's at low pressure if your setup allows for it. that's what i do, i have the Pro suspension which is soft, and i have the E's at low pressure and i ride light. this combo works great for me. i also happen to absolutely hate C tires, because they feel like driving on bubble gum to me, especially when you run high sidewalls like on 16's or 265/70-17, so i also run 265/65-17 to keep it nice and tight. to each his own, just a matter of finding your own zone.
