Let's see your white Tacoma

How do you like the discovers?

 

x2? Are they S/T's? Can't tell from the pics.

 

Yep, those are the ST's. I had a set of 265/70/17's. They wore well(40k+ w/20% tread remaining), but after 1/2 tread they ran poor on wet pavement and in snow. They're also about as loud as my BFG KMs I have now, maybe a tad louder even.

Would you buy them again? I'm disappointed to hear they ran poor in the snow & wet after 1/2 tread since I've been considering these...

 

Why would you post this in the 2nd gen forum?

 

Mine after some recent add-on's.

 

my 06 SR5....Rough Country 3" and MotoMetal 958 with ProComp Xtreme M/T 285/70/17....many mods on the way....i have some in the back seat of the truck now waiting for other stuff to come in so i can install

 

Sure, I'd consider buying them again. Overall I was happy with them. The wear was definitely good- even and long wearing. Siping them helped the wet and snow traction after 1/2 tread, but it did make them chunk on rocks a bit- maybe the ST-C would be better if you're in rocks? Its supposed to be a chip resistant compound.
I prefer more aggressive tires for offroading now so im more interested in tires like the Nitto Trail Grappler for my next set, but I think if I wasnt looking for a full MT that before I bought these again I'd get the new Goodyear DuraTracs.

 

looks good with that bumper and headlights

You really think the nitto TG's are more aggressive than the discovers? The first time I saw them on my brothers truck I thought they were street tires. But, I haven't seen the discovers in person.

 

here is mine

 

nice camper

 

I've been thinking Duratracs or ST's myself... I don't really offroad any, but sometimes get into sticky situations around our place or on my inlaws farm. The stock BFG's gummed up instantly the other day and I was just spinning in 4lo with the diff locked. It finally came out, but these stock tires are ridiculous for something with an "Off-Road" sticker on it!

 

The TRAIL Grappler, not Terra Grappler:



See the difference? The Trail Grappler is a M/T, the Terra grappler is a fairly mild AT.

 

Be gentle I'm new!

 

Not bad! Welcome to TW from another Oregonian!

 

My fault, saw "nitto" and "grappler" together and added my own terra in there for some reason.

 

Heres some pics from a little wheelin this afternoon. Needed a study break.







As you can see in the last 2 pics, some rocks in a dry creek bed got the better of me.
On the flip side, at least I got in on the All Pro rear bumper GB!
