Tires and turning

I'm still on the OEM Rugged Trail tires and noticed that the truck likes to push (go straight) in turns. Perhaps it is more of my driving, or the truck is nose heavy??? (Sorry I formarly did Autocross).

Suspension is already all Fox and I'm considering replacing the tires to a 265/75/16. Wanted to see if there is an AT Tire that is more aggressive not only for offroad, but city driving as well. I'd like the truck to beable to carve turns better.

Know I'm asking for quite a bit out of a tire, but might as well ask the experts here for advice first.

 

The truck is definitely nose heavy. The bed is a plastic box on these things. What cab size do you have?

 

Double Cab Short Bed.

I know it is no sports car nor do I expect it to handle like one.

 

I know what you mean. Of my two previous vehicles one was on stiff coil overs and the other had torque distributing AWD, so the Tacoma was foreign to me.

Had to get used to coming into/out of turns. Now I have new struts and springs, so I'm re-learning. DCSB shouldn't be too bad. I imagine ACLB would be worse than ours.

 

Best handling tire I've ever used was the michelin ms2, very noticeable difference from anything else I've ever had. My currently toyo at2's are ok but not as good as the ms2's.

 

U got fox suspension but still running rugged trails?

Anyhow, Michelin Ltxms2ftmfw.

Ur right understeer is bad on dcsb. Harder to bring the rear end around with throttle than the ac's too. Sometimes that's your best option lol.

Brake into the turn, feel the suspension load, throttle thru and out of the turn but you prolly knew that already

 

Push it a little harder into the turns.....It'll push to a point, then snap loose . BTDT.....
