yet another tire thread
Ok here's the deal.. I have a 2000 tacoma and it has a mild, 2.5" sus lift. I'm currently running 31" generic A/Ts that came with the truck, but I want to get some "aggressive" 32" A/T tires. I have no idea where to start, or what brands to consider. I've seen the BFG A/Ts and those look pretty cool, but i'm a college student and the funds are tight. Any suggestions for tire brands that provide the aggressiveness, and are fairly cheap? pics are also welcome!
as always, thanks for the help guys!

I think ProComps are good and they often have a buy3+1free deal on their tires.
I still have a SM Tire coupon that Brad gave me- don't know if it's still good but if it is you can have it.

I can all but guarantee you that they won't wear as well as a good AT. I have them on my truck, and I'm already seeing the early signs of wear (I have about 5k miles on them). My old Dueler ATs looked like new until about 9k miles.
Pics are on my site, but here's one for now...

If You Are Looking For A Mud Terrain, Then I Would Recommend The Dayton Timberline Mt. If You're Looking For An At, Dayton Also Makes A Timberline At. Both Are Very Good Tires And The M/t Is Virtually Identical To The Firestone, Only Cheaper. To Find These Tires, Go To A Affiliated Firestone Dealer (not A Company Owned Store Ie Mastercare Center)

I have not noticed a big problem with the wear, but a few people on this forum have. I don't know what the originial tread depth was, but I'll find out and mesure it when I get a chance. I wont be able to post any pics until next week, but I'll let you know when I do.

Yokohama Geolandars here and liking them so far as they've proven themselves in the snow,rain and off road and no complaints so far. Revos might be a tad better but everybody and their grandma has 'em now and I wanted to be a little different.

I switched from BFG MTs to Bridgestone Dueler AT Revos and have never looked back. The BFGs were great in the mud and loose dirt/sand but they absolutely sucked in the snow and rain. Living in the NW I have to have tires that work well in the snow and rain. After reading all that everyone was posting about the Revos I went and took a look at them. My first impression was they looked like a radial and not an AT but then I saw them mounted on a f-250 and asked the guy how he liked them and I was sold. Best set of tires I have owned yet. I had them up in the rocks this weekend and it rained hard all night saturday, come sunday I never slipped at all nothing but pure grip baby!
On a side note I do like the MT Look better but hey function over form!
