New tires

Okay folks. What's your preferred brand of tires for your Tacoma and why? I've got a 2003 that needs tires badly.

 

All depends on what your gonna use them for mostly

 

Goodyear Mt/r if you want to offroad and perform well. They also do great on the street.

Duratracs if you wheel like 3 times a year.

 

they suck in rain tho I hated those tires when it would rain !

 

Nitto or hankook. Try hhrims.com for tires. I just got a crazy low price on some nitto trail grapplers and received them the very next day with free shipping

 

I've always had very good luck with Cooper tires. They perform very well in wet and snowy weather, seem to last a long time and are quiet on the road. So far I've had the Discoverer H/T, Discoverer ATR and the new AT3's. The H/T's are a decent all season tire, they perform well in wet conditions and do ok in the snow. The ATR is an awesome tire, quiet and performs well all around. I'm not on the AT3s and have been impressed with them so far. They're quiet on the road, do well in the wet and I expect them to be a great snow tire also.

 

Woooo! duratracs for only 3 times a year? someone has obviously never owned a set

 

There are many good options. Recommend you spend some time in the Wheels & Tires forum, where you'll find LOTS of useful information/advice.

 

BFG KM2s

 

I just bought some 265-75-16 Falken Rocky Mountain AT tires at Discount Tire in Raleigh,NC for $139 each and are very happy with looks and performance.

 

I haven't had any luck with Coopers. They are always leaking air or breaking a belt. We have 3 sets on our work trucks and they all have issues.

Michelin LTX MS2 were good all around on my 4runner (80k tire). Revo's seemed to wear pretty quick, same with Terra Grapplers. BFG A/T are good on the road and wear decent.

Guess I should have been more specific with my question. I'm in serious need for new tires for my 2003 4wd Tacoma. I don't go off road much but live in the mountains where we get a lot of rain and snow in the winter. will be doing a lot of highway running as well. Any suggestions based on this criteria? heard a lot of good things about BFG's..

 

BFGs are really popular. I have the General Grabbers AT2s which are pretty similar and couldnt be happier. Both look great on our trucks too.

 

BFGs TKo are good

 

I live in New England and need tires to perform year round. Most of the time my truck is a pavement pounder but I still to be able to go off road for work and camping and also handle the snow we get up here. I've always had really good luck with Cooper's tires. I'm running the AT3's now and they're a great all around tire. These are the 3rd or 4th set of Coopers I've had. The Discoverer ATR, AT3 and their M+S tires are all great tires for what you want to do. The M+S might be a bit soft and wear down quicker in the summer time though.
