    Tires Limited Selection?

    I hear you! I finally gave up on my 16 in wheels and got 17s with the same toyo tires you mentioned. I kept my 16 in wheels incase someday tire manufacturers realize that there are a lot of people who want more tire and less wheel.

    I have found that most all Arco,Mobil, Chevron, Repsol and OXXO gas stations have ulsd. For the rest just look for UBA (ultra bajo azufre) on their signs.

    Favorite Budget Tires?

    Favorite Budget Tires?

    I ran CXTs on my truck for 6 years of trouble free use. They still had plenty of tread but unfortunatly aged out. Great tire! Sadly they stopped making them in 255/85r16.

    Looking for good 12v installer in the SF Bay Area

    I highly recomend these guys https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/mudrak-custom-cruisers-sonoma. They are a Toyota shop primarily but do other things like installing and wiring my alu-cab camper and tire mounting. If they won´t do it I'm sure they would have good recos for Sonoma.

    Nitto Ridge Grappler vs Toyo RT Trail

    I ended up buying the RT/Trails. So far so good. Very good on road manners. I've yet to get them dirty but that will happen soon.
