    Hello all,

    Another quick question, in regards to Winter tires for a 2017 Tacoma TRD Sport. I was wondering between Bridgestone Blizzaks, Toyo observer G3, Toyo GSi 5, or Firestone Winterforce.

    The dealer recommended 16" vs 17"

    Anyone one have any experience with any of these tires on the Tacoma and or could offer any more insight then what is online out there.

    Thank you.

    I have the Blizzacks and they work great, are you going to have a winter set of wheels or you just going to swap tires?
    If you're not getting steel winter rims then get the size for the wheels your running. Whatever is cheaper for you.

    I'm going to run the winters on Steele rims.

    Good plan, save your good wheels for the rest of the year. Whatever tire you go with it will be way better than the best AT on ice and snow.
    16 inch will probably be a bit cheaper, if you can find some used wheels that can help with the cost.
