Any tire guys?
I am in need of new tires for my '01 Tacoma. I really don't go offroad but the casual camping trip. I am really lost on what could be my best bet.
I usually buy my tires at the same place for all the cars I've owned but they are kind of limited in options.
I usually get the not the top of the line but one below, something that lasts me at least 3-4 years.
Any insight?

Tirerack.com is a good place to start. Its kind of like Consumer Reports for tires with lots of user reviews of many different brands & styles. You can order from them or just use the reviews to help decide which tire is best for your vehicle.

I've used BF Goodrich Long Trail on my Toyota pickup for years and thought they were the best bang for the buck. I didnt off road, but I did pull a jetski. They had great grip on the wet steep ramps we have on LI. They also were awesome in snow. The best thing is, they had a smooth comfortable ride. They made my 4x4 ride like a sedan.

BFG KOs are very nice, a bit pricy though.

Highly recommend...
I had Michelin LTX/MS on my T-100 and they were excellent tires, having 80K (mostly highway though, with plenty of tread left) on them when I totalled my truck. I got them on a recommendation from a neighbor, and have since turned a friend on to them (who also drives a Tacoma) who's been very pleased with them as well.

Got 'em on my Rodeo too, they're great on the road, way better in snow than the Goodyears I used to have, have been fine for (the admittedly very light) offroading I've done and last forever.
