Now here's the deal....I have a restoration on a 2001 toyota tundra v8 I'll be undertaking soon.

Went to get a tire and the dealer kept emphasizing I buy a brand I knew nothing of "Rapid - eco saver"- my guess flooded cheap Asian tire. Didn't buy it n insisted on a Triangle with rain grooves and deep thread grooves with solid tire walls...This he knew nothing about.

Anyway NL, What exactly do you look for when buying tires for your car/suv/pickup

Tire brand- brand Specific or dealer imposed.

Tire profile - Miss matched or All Same based on drive train.

Use - offroad/spirited/everyday A - B drive.

Let's hear it all.
