    Tire decision???

    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. They only lasted about 25k miles for each set.

      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.

            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.

                    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

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

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