I needed to post just how hilariously awesome these brakes look in these wheels.

Fuck, like 8 pages talking about wheels.

How are these toyos on snow/ice? You go for E rated?


Yeah I should break that outta here... Could be it's own thread especially now that it's done.

I did not go e-rated.

Tuesday night was the first experience in the snow/ice/slush and it's a straight up tank. Kinda led me to make that thread about what matters for driving in the snow...

It feels more confident in the snow than my 2wd old lowered truck that had winter tires.. Buuuuttt this van is like 1500-2000 lbs heavier with similar width tires so that probably has something to do with it.

Overall though I'm really impressed with the toyos. I went not e rated to keep weight down. I think what I got has like an almost 3k per tire weight rating and weighs under 40lbs per tire iirc. They are not as loud on the highway as I thought they were gonna be.

Buddy of mine just bought a 2011 with 159k non hightop on Sunday. Super fucking clean though, the interior is immaculate.
Older couple owned it since 2014 and used basically for family road trips and taking kids to and from sports
Asking $25k and my buddy talked them down to $17.8k. Maybe that helps you with a starting point.
