Tire decision???

[gc82000]

I was wondering what type of tires I should get for my Toyota Tacoma. I was thinking of either Perrelli's or Good Years or BF Goodridge. Oh yeah no super swampers please, almost everyone and their dog has them.
Here is what I need them to be good on the road, good on sand and loose dirt, and have the ability to last at least 35k miles. I know that they are all good tires and are around the same price at the tire shop. But I want to know If anyone has some personal experiences with the brands, such as tread wear, flats, etc.

Other brands to not suggest are Coopers and Dunlops, they really suck. :mad: They only lasted about 25k miles for each set.

I'm a good year man myself....good year for life!

I like good year too, But I noticed some types of GY tend to lose their shape after some use. I really like how perellis and BFGs hold their square shape. Makes for a more aggresive stance in the vehicles. But thanks Kev for the reply.

Go woth Goodyear Wranglers and be happy! I love mine!

bfg here i use have some miles at ko's on my jeep... since it's usually on payment. they're grippy though !!

[Lohman446]

BFG LongTrails - they are not really aggressive but are ok in sand and dirt, awesome on the road, quiet, and last pretty well.

Long trails SUCK...

BFG AT k/o's

If you want something a bit more aggressive but still ok on pavement, try the Goodyear MTRs.

Exactly

[cphilip]

BFG's or Michelins for me....

Another option is the ProComp All Terrain, they come with a 50k warranty.

I'm running their X-terrains now and they are wearing pretty fast :(

Woaw I was smoking so serious crack last night, holy cow that makes NO sence at all....I think what I was trying to say was

"BFG here! I have some mild AT ko's on my jeep...."

Too soft and WAY too aggressive for pavement... REAL loud. Plus, REAL expensive.

or possibly the BFG M/Ts on the more aggresive side.

I have had 2 complete sets of Bf Goodrich All Terrain TA's and I can tell you this. They have a nice flat ride on the highway, and unstoppable in any mud or snow, but the main reason I love these tires is the fact that they last 60000 miles! I will keep buying them till they stop making them. They show almost no signs of wear until it time for new ones. Simply an amazing tire. And around 90 bucks each around here. :D ;)

Thanks guys for your info and thoughts.
But let me reply to your posts:
--Skife: Mickeys are tight I would love to have some but I do not the financial flexibility to buy $195 tires. plus they dont make them in 235/75/R15 or 245/75/R15. Those are what my truck can take.
--Casingbill: Bridgestiones are cool but they dont sell them at the stores that I think are credible. One store that I went to said they will do mounting, balancing,and alignment for free but it would be $175 per tire. But there would also be a mandatory $50 disposal fee for all the tires. :rolleyes: I asked him if he was trying to rip me off. And he looked shocked and said "why would I think of that." I flicked him off. :nono: and left the store.

I will stick to buying my tires at the stores that I trust. For GY I am really looking at the wranglers (ATS, RTS have them on my T100, *MTS*) and the BFG the all terain (AT, RT)
Kind of see a pattern here. As for perrellis I am not sure about them anymore I am hearing their SUV/truck tires are not up to par with their carr tires and this makes me sad.

I'll come to you, PM me your store address or whatever. Always out to give AOer's business :D

[CasingBill]

I'll pm u on monday with a price and all that. Are they 225/75R16 on there, or did you want something a little bigger?

[Mango]

I want to keep them the same size so thats perfect! :D

[wispaintstyle]

I don't know as much about truck tires, but on sports compacts pirrelli has exellent traction on the straight and the corners, but they give a loud ride and squeel well before they break loose. Goodyear is quiet and that's the plus I've seen. I know that your Tacoma is significantly larger than my maxima, but Douglas tires have done me very well.

[gc82000]

Good to see that I helped a couple of ppl in this thread.


As for perrellis I am not sure about them anymore I am hearing their SUV/truck tires are not up to par with their car tires and this makes me sad.

Thanks guys for your posts keep them coming.
