The Tire Rack crowd sourced reviews for popular tires often reflect thousands of owners millions of miles. For some tires 20+ million miles. That's valuable information but I also understand not everyone has had to take or pass a stats class.
Just looking, I see popular tires all with 10+ to...
I'm one of your customers and will offer this. Pay more attention to your manufacturing and shipping so the edges/ends don't curl as much. For design think of easy cleaning more than what the patterns are.
No one should misread this as negative or unhappy though. I am totally satisfied with the...
I noticed those showing in TireRack survey reports along with the Bridgestone after the BFG Trail Terrain TA was dominant for the category some months ago.

That was interesting to me because at my age Cooper tires were...
It's their crowd-sourced reviews where I find most value. For example, when a few thousand people all say a tire is good in one of the measures or categories.
There's also wisdom with getting a tire with lots of dealers and post-sale support.
Yes. There are many good contenders, the A/T class alone has its extremes and types. With a lot of experience with 3PMSF including dedicated and the year-round types, there are important things to consider. Even being a powder chaser, I still have to do no shortage of pavement driving and...
I'm sure none of us did, but from perspective of age and some fleet experience, my only fuel related complaint can be the small gas tank size. No issue or hiccup with my 2024 has been like most vehicles or the horrible ones we all used to have. It's a high volume vehicle so I know that means...
Sagacity is required for all driving. 3PMSF rated tires and chains still do what good driving cannot so you're right and wrong with that outlook.
Two good reminders for me are we have a pair of same Outback one with 3PMSF and one with top rated all-season tires, and ski area crew plus mountain...
Large sheets of cardboard when needed. The rubber types and some mats are heavy. Some of the plastic types are too slippery. Beyond cheap and light, it can be nice for how it will also slide something and fold.
If you're looking for market ideas, I'm probably not like many regulars here but...
That was my concern - the SRS logo in the seats. If we share that concern, it was summer 2024 when I got these advertised as air bag compatible. Now I see more color choices. I like how they remove easily, wash easily, and if I do a road trip in clean clothes just have the seats without a cover...
LOL, with ski season coming, 3 season or multi day passes bought, and so far experience I'll want that $250 be for winter budget.
I can honestly see where the mod would be nice, but so far when locker's been needed 4 low has also been appropriate.
We pursued that with our Sienna SE. The SE low profile tires and weight meant horrible wear with the Michelin OEM version of Primacy tires. Michelin dealers said the OEM tire warranty was with the OEM customer Toyota. Toyota said they were OEM and not OER models and the mileage though low met...
This. I've had replacements of same model tire last much longer. At Discount Tire the technician showed me the lower tread depth of my then new OEM tires from the TRD Off Road.
@Mtn.Ta_CO_man FWIW, I was very pleased with the Trail Terrain in a month of CO powder chasing, they work better off...
I carry a shovel, we have year-round type 3PMSF tires on 3/4 of our vehicles, and I love my Fas-Top tonneau/topper combo. On the Fas-Top, it is nice to have the topper on occasion but also tonneau cover.
Another incident where the Fas-Top is SO good and some winter vehicle prep sparked some follow up here. Now getting to 1.5 years, my Fas-Top as a tonneau or just the soft topper seem to have construction just like similar stuff, trucking, ag and marine tarps. Mine was one of their early models...
No, and I like the really deep gearing reduction but my use is work/task oriented more than driving 4x4s for a hobby or fun. So far 4 high has been fine when a scenario needs momentum.
Leave it alone LOL.
Otherwise from what I have - long bed TRD OR - a bigger gas tank would get my vote. I'm doing trail building and ski area crew work often. Off road more than all sorts of overlander bro look vehicles I see in same places and it works well. Without mods and money wasting I've...
It's hard to answer for diagnostics other than hoping a Toyota dealer where you are can diagnose the codes. You should also remove your pedal commander modification for diagnostics and check if something like air filter or intake components are seated correctly. Your vehicle should have Toyota's...
For service I search out the Toyota dealers with the "president's award". The one in my home market area that's achieved that for a long time doesn't seem prone to getting a lot of common complaints. They're also not cheapest for sales or service, and follow the book.
For all services work I...
