Looking for a beefy tire on second gen

If you don't have a 3" lift kit or leveling kit. I recommend the Goodyear Wrangler Authority
265/70 R17 on the Sport package. Gives you plenty of beefy tread and 1" lift without worrying about fender well clearance. These are on my 2015 Tacoma Sport.

 

I think this just sold me on the Authority. Ive been debating on Duratracs or Authorities for a few months now. I'm so sick of my stock 17" roller skates. They look fabulous on this ride. I like the tread, price, shoulder, sidewall. I might be sold. Nice pics SlickRick.

 

Thanks. I just went bigger got the 3" leveling kit with 285/70r17s bf goody ko2s wrapped around 17x8 Helo wheels. I'm very happy with the ko2s. They ride like a dream.

 

I was worried about rubbing, sound and going up a size. But they seem to suit your well. I have a 13' Sport Pyrite. Looking for something like yours.

 

Why did you change your setup? were you not satisfied with the Authority? Personally, I like your last setup better.

 

The authority is not a bad tire. Just seems like your riding in a log wagon. I always wanted to go to a 285/70/r17... I work with a guy who has a 2014 limited 4x4 dcsb in super white. He wanted my Goodyear authority and ultra maverick wheels. So I jumped on it. I didn't want to sell my wheels but I'm glad I did. The Helo wheels are more hub centric. If you ever decide to go with a aftermarket wheel make sure the hub bore is 106.25mm(4.183"). Which will clear the hub size of 106mm only by .005". Tacoma's are notorious about vibration with aftermarket wheels. All that said I'd say go with the Goodyear authority if you don't mind a stiffer ride. And if you go with the 265/70/r17 in no lift. The only rubbing I had was the small mud flaps in the front side of the fender well. They can easy be removed with only 2 bolts holding them in. I hoped this helped. You need to post some pics of your TACO when you get them installed.

 

are you asking what tires or telling?

 

Pyrite Tacomab was asking about the Goodyear authority 265/70/r17.

 

I was telling lol. Nice taco btw.

 

gotcha - Thanks! was gonna put in my 2 cents if you were asking HAHA

 

Go ahead are you running the Goodyear authority?

 

Nice choise of tires and a Nice Lookin' Taco

 

Nope Toyo MT

 

Ok cool... I'm running the bf goody ko2s now lot smoother ride.

 

Thank man.

 

How do the rock stars handle. Any vibration at about 50 mph?

 

not really, I haven't had any issues honestly - nothing that catches my attention anyhow

 

Well I think you made a great choice with the rock stars. That is what they run on the 2016 taco xtreme editions at my local dealership. There are only a few aftermarket wheels out there that are hub centric to the Tacoma's.

 

I Agree
