2018 Tacoma DC 4X4, M416
Hello,
I have a ’04 Tacoma double cab I purchase new and am ready to purchase some new tires for it. It is my wife’s daily driver and once she is finished, I plan to start on the modifications. I know that this is not very aggressive but, I have always had good luck with the Michelin LTX’s. I am thinking of getting the M/S2’s but, can only find the standard load rating in 265/70R16’s. I am currently running 265/75R16 in a standard load but they rub just a little and the M/S2’s that I can find in that size are only in an E rating. Because 265/75’s rub, I wanted to look at the 235/85R16 but again; they are all in an E load rating. This truck is not modified and runs a light loads most of the time. The heaviest load is when the whole family loads up and I stick my two 200lb sons in the back seats. So, you guys that run the 235/85R16, are you running E rated tires and how do they ride? My son has 245/70R17 in an "E" rating on his Tacoma and they do ride rougher than my current setup. My wife wants a nice ride and I want something that I can get some mileage out of, in both longevity and MGP. Any helpful inputs will be greatly appreciated.
