Like the subject says, I am completely at a loss about the tire issue. I have a '99 Tacoma Prerunner that I really love, but I'm gonna need new tires for it soon. The truck currently has 31x10.5s on it, and given the wealth of conflicting information about tread life vs handling vs traction, I can't make a decision that I'm comfortable with. I originally intended to go with Goodyear AT/D2s that were on sale at Sam's, but I can't find any reviews online.
Do any of you have experience with a good tire that isn't terribly expensive? I don't do too much off-roading, but I do drive through mud from time to time, and I would like a tire with as many plys as possible, since I go through a lot of mesquite brush.
I appreciate any help y'all can give me.
