    I think that's the job of any tire. Inspire enough confidence to bring out any fun loving drivers inner jackass. It sure doesn't take much for my jackass to come out screaming

    Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but do the trds have different control arms or are there just better shocks to make the height difference? What exactly is different in their front suspension?

    I think the TRD has the same ride height as the SR5, limited, etc. The suspension is the same aside from the shocks. Springs give lift.

    The PRO has a coilover setup that gives it the inch or two of lift from the factory.

    I talked to @LadyRed . She's the only person I know is that runs the toyo MT. It's the biggest tire in its class 33.4 or 5 iirc.

    I was curious if they had issues with rubbing.

    These are quotes from her when I PM'd her.

    I did have to trim someplastic, which I had to do anyways for the CBI bumper I put in. They rub slightly on the cab mount (no rubbing on UCA or LCA) on the front drivers at full lock in reverse. I alleviated all other rubbing by having an alignment done with as much caster possible.

    She's running 3.3-3.4 of castor

    Well now that I have 600 miles on my Cooper Discoverer S/T's I thought I would give another update. Since I had them mounted we got 15" of snow which also had ice with it. The tires handled great. I can't say weather they handle better than the stock ones (Which I thought handled well in those conditions) when they were new but they sure didn't handle worse. I am currently running 36psi when cold all around which seems to be working for now. As for road noise they are still loader compared to the stock and I have since gotten use to it. The real test was to see if my wife mentioned anything about it and so far she hasn't which is amazing as she usually picks up on that sort of stuff. I am a happy customer so far.

    I am sure its been covered somewhere else - but is there a comparison list of the different pizza cutter size options with tire weight?

    Someone has definitely put that together in a thread on here. I stumbled upon it once - I will see if I can dig it up. They're are not a lot of options out there. I think the Toyo Open Country M/Ts are the heaviest and tallest of the class.
