One BIG thing to note on the Toyos is that they come with a built-in Rim Protector. When they are mounted, they have about a 1/4" 'ledge' that comes straight out from the area right at the point where the tire meets the rim. I just got some new 20s and some Toyo 305/50/20s about 6 weeks ago...that rim guard has already saved me a serious curb rash at least twice. Just another thing to consider. I like the Toyos...I'm on my second set...got about 40k out of the 275/60/16s I had.

Sweet! I've been checking on a bunch of different tires and sizes and the best deal I've seen is the Hankooks. I got my friend at Firestone to price some Toyos but, I'm really thinking about ordering Hankooks.

BTW, your truck looks AWESOME!

I won't be getting any 17" tires anytime soon. The **** I bought the Denalis off of ebay from totally screwed me. The wheels look like I wouldn't put them on a beater.

Guess I'll get some 16" Toyos now.
