Thanks for the replies. I'm thinking "new tire time" because the previous owner had a blowout and some denting/damage resulted. I don't want that to happen again.
Also, when pulling the Montana sharply through a turn on pavement (cab approx. 90 degrees with Montana), I noticed that the Tacomas on the front axle have TERRIBLE side wall flex! (In my younger years, I was an auto tech for some time and I can tell you that cheap tires ALWAYS have weak sidewalls and more expensive tires are really a BEAR to get off the rim with/without a tire machine because of sturdier construction)
I know......it's not real scientific, but I'm just a little queasy about taking my family and the beautiful new 3400RL down the road without good tires.
Anyone actually change from Tacoma tires to Michelin and experience a worse ride? I think that the Montana pulls very well the way it is, and you know what they say about "pioneers." (You can tell who they are by the arrows in their backs)
Thanks again,
Richard
