    New to TacomaWorld,
    Any advice on what 270/70r17 all terrain tire best fits a 2007 White Tacoma.
    A good decent price, low noise tire and makes the truck beefy even if it has a stock suspension.
    Im going to put suspension in when I get the funds.

    Welcome to TW.

    BFG KO2 in C-load are reasonably light and are aggressive for an AT, and are a good improvement over the previous tire. Excellent for on road/off road trucks. Be sure not to get the heavy E-load version.

    Man I got me some Hankook Dynapro A/T 285/75/16 and they're super nice. I do an alignment every 5k miles, and they're wearing very nicely and are generally pretty quiet on the highway.

    They make them smaller, too... and they're decently aggressive looking without behing so gnarly they jar your suspension to bits on the pavement.

    Fox 2.0 Coilovers in the front and Fox 2.0’s in the rear, Total Chaos UCA’s, Al-lpro expo leafs, K&N cold air intake, TRD headers,Magnaflow catback exhaust,URD short throw shifter, switched out my 60/40 bench seat for some Tacoma Limited seats, Replaced the vinyl shift boot for a leather one, completely soundproofed the cab w/ Frost King. Replaced stock radio with a Pioneer AVH series head unit. Focal component system w/a 10" sub powered by 2 Alpine amps. Weathertech floor mats. Line-X'd the bed. SCS Ray 10’s, Installed an A.R.E. MX series camper shell. All-Pro Apex front bumper w/ All-Pro skid plates all the way back to the Trans. Low Range fuel skid plate.
    Saw a video on Cooper STT Maxx's and they seem extremely durable and from what I hear people love them. They're suppose to be a really quiet tire on the highway yet still have a pretty aggressive look

    I have the 265-70/17's Nitto Terra Grappler G2 on my Taco. I've only put about 1000 miles on them so far, but am well pleased.

    Technically classified as "commercial traction", whatever that is. They are horrible in the wet after a little tire wear and known to have weaker sidewalls. So it really depends on your use case. I had them in the Seattle area and I would spin my tires all the time going up hills in the rain with my 22re. Really annoying.

    I like the Michelin LTX M/S. They're a little pricey and not exactly A/T (rather All season), but they last a long time, ride nice, and look way better than KO2s with those hideous new sidewalls.

    The best tire is the one that actually meets your specific needs.

    Having said that, the Toyo Open Country AT2 has treated me well.

    :D

    255/85/16 - They're 59 pounds each. They measure 33.4" too.

    Edited for correct weight.

    Looking at the specs, I kinda want the 285s. They're 33.2" and only 60 pounds.
