That dude can wheel. Watch him all the time

Here is how I built my rig (and continue to do so). Go out and explore, wheel or do whatever it is you do. Come back home and see what you scrapped, broke or otherwise had a PITA time with. After that, change things as needed. Let the trail tell you what you need. I live in New Hampshire and the...

Just now I ordered 5 Cooper St Maxx 255/85r16. At least with this tire, I 100% sure of what I am getting. Tire selection is always a compromise. I wish the Maxx was a bit more aggressive, but the up side is they are a very consistent tire.

Thanks Durwin, nice honest feedback. If I had to order today it would probably be Cooper ST Maxx. I'll toture myself for a little while longer until I decide...lol Keep y ou posted.

DOuble Yup :)

A lot of the guys I ride with use them, they are a great all around tire - there is no comparison on the market really. The only thing I worry about with them is rock crawling. I am coming from STT PROs, which are awesome on rocks. The Maxx's tread voids are much narrower. Nothings perfect, I know.

Still can't decide...prob just by ST MAxx like most Taco owners...lol

Seems these are love em or hate em tires...lol

What where the problems on rocks? Not grippy enough? Thanks for the info BTW

No ambiguity in that opinion...lol! I wheel a lot too, and I currently run 235/85r16 STT Pros. I love my PROs, but am thinking I would like a 33 for more clearance. I would love to go STT Pro 285s, but they are too heavy for my 4.10s in my 4-banger. I am looking at Bighorns or St Maxx in 255/85...

Bump...I am looking for a new set of 255/85r16 tires and the bighorns keep popping into the picture. Reviews are all over the place: good sidewall, bad sidewall, loud as heck, not too loud...not sure what to think. The only consensus I can find is that they are sticky on rocks, which is good for...

Thanks for all the great replies! Let me ask this: How much better is the performance on you roof mounts versus mounting somewhere else? are see an improved range that is worth the work of the roof mount install?

Hi guys, I have an idea, and just want to get some opinions. Here is the deal: I have a 2 meter antenna mounted on the bed rail in the back of my Tacoma. The antenna works well enough, I can hit repeaters within 10 miles and it is more than fine for trail use. So here is the thing - I would...

235/85r16 awesome tire choice!

Loving this build :bowdown:
