I have a 2003 Tacoma Extended Cab 2WD with 40,000 miles on the original tires. They are Firestone Wilderness HT P205 75R15 97s M+S. They are rated at 60,000 miles, and still have good tread. However, I am beginning to shop for replacements. Can anyone recommend good replacements (competitor or otherwise). I live in Florida, and I drive mostly on improved roads and highways with very little off road driving. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks.

Replying to: juking2 (Sep 18, 2007 12:17 am) Do you want inexpensive? Do you want superior ride? If I could easily afford them, as daily usage tires, I would ALWAYS buy Michellin's. Frankly, I never believed Michellins could be that much better than other tires, until I put a set on my van. It was like I had purchased a new car. The ride was that much different than the "cheaper" tires. They do make some pretty good sized tires. My 2¢ |

Can anyone comment on the best manuals for just basic maintenance? How are Haynes and Chiltons for Toyotas? I didn't care for them for Hondas and picked up an official shop manual on helminc.com but they don't have Toyotas.

| i prefer chilton's they give more data such as horsepower ratings-they're at kragen...although your vehicle may be too new for publication | |
| i have a 98 tacoma trd. The clutch seems to squeak mostly when it is colder weather outside. I have no idea what weather could have to do with it but I have tried spraying anti squeak stuff on there and nothing seems to help. does anybody have an answer?? | |

My '02 Tacoma squeaked as well. Good news is that it didn't effect operation of the clutch or pose a safety hazzard. Bad news is that the bushing around the clutch/pedal needs to be replaced. Cost is about $300. I decided to put up with the intermittent squeak - have it sprayed from time to time. Maybe if I win the lottery I'll get 'her fixed lol. |

| I have the chance to buy a 98 Tacoma that has spun a bearing on a main. Three questions, first does anyone know where I can get either a short block or bottom end rebuild kit. Second Maybe a used engine. Third would it take alot to upgrade it to the v6, it's the 2.7 and a 5spd. would it take alot to change it( bell housing bolt pattern, size, mounts....). Any help would be appreciated... Thanks | |
