bumper on our 96 4 runner is dented in.  (other driver got a ticket)

Does anyone use these tires?  One of the reviews on Tire Rack claims
they are better then studded.  Any truth to this?  Also, whats the

Both lowbeams on my 1995 Tacoma have failed and replacing blubs does not
correct.   High beams work fine.   Switch in low beam position neither

Driving a truck is nothing unusual to me since I have done it in the last 10
