    Relentless Armored! Too many others to list.
    Tough choice between the Grabber AT2 and the Dynapro's, but I voted for the dynapro since they look a little more agressive and like they wouldnt load up quite as bad in mud as the grabbers. I'd skip the terra grap's.

    I just had my dyno's installed yesterday morning during our snowstorm here in the great lakes area. Any tires I have had in the past have always preformed well new, but these seemed to preform a close second to my blizzaks ( spelling). I was able to hold a nice speed of 55 on the back roads covered in snow, slush. mud and stop in straight line with out sliding. Something I was never able to do with the my dunlops. This morning on the way to work I hit some snow covered roads at 62 I just eased off the gas and let her go. There was a semi behind me so I couldnt slow down and to use the 4wheel. She held straight not one bit of sliding was able to make a lane change with out dying :) So far I give these tires a 9 out of 10 for snow. If you want something for snow and dont want to spend for a snow tire I would recommend it. The only thing I am mad at about is they put the White wall out!!!! can i go back and tell them I wanted black?

    Eric, I ran into the same problem, they put the whit facing out on me too. I think I'm going to stay with it facing out cuz I kind of like the look of it with the black wheel now. But if you really want black out I'm sure they would do it for you wherever they installed it.

    I really love the DynaPros. They are such a smooth riding tire and they look like they'll be able to hold their own on the trails as well. Has to be the best value out there, they are so cheap.

    Chris ya i have the stock steels still and its driving me NUTS!!!! My sensors seem to be off cause the tires are at 30psi and the light is on. So if they have to take the tires off to fix it I will ask tell them then. While I am annoyed its not that big of deal.

    lol that's why i absolutely love my first gen, no annoying sensors for anything lol. just threw the tires on and drove off. My buddy got the Grabber AT2s the day after I got mine. Mine were bigger and cheaper, but his look quite a bit more aggressive and trail worthy.

    Dont you have the pressure sensor reset switch under the dash? You should use it if you change the psi you're running

    nc10- I didn't know there was a switch there. I never changed the PSI the tires are set at 30PSI as listed inside the door jam. I did add some air to 34 yesterday morning and the sensor light went off. So I am not exactly sure what this is about. Any Ideas? So I did change PSI yesterday just to see if the light would go off and it did. My tires are not as soft feeling anymore

    what I'm getting at is if you change tires and want a difffernet pressure in them you hold the button for 3 seconds so the TPMS realizes that you want a higher pressure

    My Hankooks have been on for over a year and almost 16,000 miles... 265/75-16. Ideal street pressure for my DC Tacoma is 38 psi. (they are 44 psi max. rated tires)

    EXACTLY! The stock BFG Rugged Trails are a 35 psi MAX. tire and the Tacoma pressure recommended for THEM is 29 front and 32 rear.

    The tires I put on (Hankook Dynapro ATm) are a 44 psi MAX tire and when I tried them at 32 psi, they were 'squishy' feeling on the road (under pressured). 36 psi they begin to feel 'normal' and I have run them betwwen that and 40 psi, with 38 psi my ideal choice... The tires are wearing even, so far.

    Yes, and I used to put over 30,000 miles a YEAR on my truck, too... then the democrats took over congress and many of us employed in the home improvement business have watched our business drop each year since then! :eek: Forcing banks to loan money to people who couldn't pay the loan was not very intellegent!:rolleyes:
