    This is my first Tacoma always had 3/4 or bigger. Still run e rated on my cummins but didn't know about Tacoma. It does make sense though they will be tougher and going out through the fields and woods that will come in handy.

    The E range tires are quite a bit heavier than the C range, IIRC they are about 10 lbs more per tire. It's a trade off... E range tougher and more puncture resistant but will eat more gas and ride a bit rougher, C range not as tough but smoother ride and burn less gas... IMO If you off road or often drive where you might damage a tire then maybe go E range but if you spend most your time on the pavement go with C range... I love my Duratrac 265/70/17 E range but you can feel the weight of them on rough roads. I run mine about 40 psi.

    34psi front, 24 psi rear

    Perfect ride and handling.

    yes i got these pressures from doing the chalk test.

    It does make sence, our rear ends are so light.

    Shopping for new tires. I'm running a front leveling kit and rear spacer, so I think 265/70R17... Really looking at the Toyo Open Country A/T.

    Yea. I tried to copy and past the table from the website and this is how it showed up...

    Really, the debate is between the Load Range 'E' or not. But I called the dealer (4wheelParts.com) and he doesn't seem to think I would need them.

    I think I'm going with the 265/65/18 and the Dick Cepek Torque wheels...

    I also have Terra Grapplers load range E, and I shoot for 32 PSI. No complaints on ride quality here.

    btw in answer to some previous posts. The ride is a little stiff. Less sidewall flex. I have filled the bed completely full with gravel several times. its nice not to have to worry about a tire blowing out with that much weight.

    maybe not more mileage out of the tire so much as them not wearing out as quick. less wear and tear on the sidewall. i've seen people break cords in their p rated tires from loading them down often or to much.

    another not. i have never gotten a flat with any of my e rated tires

    I forgot to air up one day after wheeling though. I was running about 15 psi. It felt like a caddy to me.

    I just checked mine the other day and they had 32 psi in them. I took them up to 60 now and it doesnt ride too bad. I'm lifted anyway so not really a smooth ride anyhow. Thought 30's was too low for them

    I run 40-45 PSI on my E rated 285's and they ride just fine. No harsh ride or anything. In fact for around town my BFG at 45psi get great gas milage.

    I am running a similar tire. Its a 10 ply tire that can be aired up to 90 psi if you are hauling a heavy trailer. I run them at 35 psi and have been very happy with them. They are 4 yrs old and the wear on them is very minimal.(This is on my work truck,so basically its a daily driver with high mileage) Mine are a Goodyear brand tire. The only reason I got them is b/c they were such a good deal at the time. I would actually get them again.
