So I had been under the impression that there was no such thing as a 6 inch lift for second gen toyotas, but apparently a guy on craigslist is selling one. Do u think a 6 inch lift would look too high with 33s? originally i just wanted a BL like 2 or 3 inch but he wants to make me a deal. ]]> turkeykiller365 http://www.yotatech.com/f177/what-s-your-opinion-197227/ Goodyear Wrangler Territory (Canadian Tire Exclusive) http://www.yotatech.com/f177/goodyear-wrangler-territory-canadian-tire-exclusive-197123/ Fri, 20 Nov 2009 01:17:12 GMT So I've decided I should buy some new tires for my 4Runner which I'll be driving in the winter instead of the pickup. They are only sold at Canadian Tire and are currently on sale for about $150 CAD each:

I want to keep my stock rims so the only sizes I can use are 31X10.5X15 or P235/75/R15.

Here are my questions:

Will the 31's fit? Do the the 235 look to small?
Anyone have pics on their 4runner with 235s or 31s?

I don't have a spare so I'm going to see about getting another stock rim from a junkyard. ]]> pwd http://www.yotatech.com/f177/goodyear-wrangler-territory-canadian-tire-exclusive-197123/ I recomend Tire Rack! http://www.yotatech.com/f177/i-recomend-tire-rack-197077/ Thu, 19 Nov 2009 11:17:11 GMT I bought some Goodyear TDs for my Gen3 4runner, LOVE THEM!

I have 265/70/16 Good Year Wrangler on stock 98 rims. I set mine at 40 psi (all 4 tires) for dry road and cooler/warm weather. I like the ride, handling, less rolling resistance, etc. ]]> 2fast4me http://www.yotatech.com/f177/best-tire-pressure-31-a-196935/ 315/70/17 http://www.yotatech.com/f177/315-70-17-a-196826/ Mon, 16 Nov 2009 05:23:42 GMT Anybody running these an a wheeler? I don't care for chromo or Aluminum, as I'm only concerned about the performance. I'm currently running 33/12.5/15 thinking that the 17" rim might yeild some interesting benefits:

1) I'm thinking that that the smaller sidewall would mean I can run a wider rim with low psi and not worry about the bead as much, cause I like it low 3psi.

2) That the 17" rims will help me with the ground clearance when airing down.


Any one got experience? ]]> muddpigg http://www.yotatech.com/f177/315-70-17-a-196826/ Will 33/12.5/15 tires on steel wheels fit a 2000 4runner without a lift? http://www.yotatech.com/f177/will-33-12-5-15-tires-steel-wheels-fit-2000-4runner-without-lift-196778/ Sun, 15 Nov 2009 22:02:36 GMT This is for all you wheel and tire gurus out there.

Will 33/12.5/15 tires on steel wheels fit a 2000 4runner with stock height?

I have a 2000 4Runner, 100% stock for now, stock height, meaning zero lift.
Would I have to give the car a lift to fit 33/12.5/15 tires on steel wheels?

If so, how much of a lift is needed and what other modifications would be required?
Whats the most efficient and fastest way to give a 4Runner a lift, will upgraded suspension do the trick?

I'm currently running some 35x12.50 BFG AT's because I got them very cheap used. The Q78-15LT's seem to be close to a 35.5x10.50 which would be a very nice size for my stock height 5.29 geared 4runner with stock rims, but I'm unsure of a bias ply tire.

My 4runner is not my DD as I have a company truck and the 4runner rarely gets used for much more than trips to Rausch Creek - the local offroad park. I do more crawling than mudding at RC. If I didn't get the Swampers, I'd get a set of BFG KM2's, but then I am stuck with a 35x12.50 and I don't think I'll want to run a new set of 12.50's on these 7" rims, so I'd probably get a set of 8" wide Soft 8's too. My low-tread AT's rub a very small amount here and there after all of my cutting & pounding. Also, the BFG is 61lbs and the SS is 65lbs, so at least they're not obnoxiously heavier. I guess my main concerns are on-road behavior, noise, & wear.

Does anyone have any first hand experience with the Q78-15LT's?

If not, what are your opinions on the TSL Bias Swampers?

I probably don't have to make a decision until mid to late winter as my AT's do have some tread left and there are more armor items I want to get first. ]]> http://www.yotatech.com/f177/interco-super-swamper-tsl-bias-q78-15lt-opinions-196730/ steel vs aluminum rims http://www.yotatech.com/f177/steel-vs-aluminum-rims-196713/ Sat, 14 Nov 2009 21:53:50 GMT Just thinking of getting some new 8 inch rims with my new tires, and was wondering how much of a weight/ gas milage difference it would be with steel...

Not to mention noticable cupping, despite rotating them every 5-8k. A local Goodyear dealer gave me a sweet deal on a set of Fierce's relatively new Attitude M/T tire in the 285/75 R16 flavor.

Once you get past the name, these look like pretty sweet tires. Hopefully, they'll do well on the wheeling trips I take and the daily driving I do. They're on order and should be here next week. Once installed, I'll post a quick review. A picture for reference...

My name is Julie.....I am new to this forum and I have a 04 4runner SR5 2wd. In a couple of months I am gonna be purchasing new rims and tires. I have been looking around and naworred my options in between these two
I do not do any offroad but where I live we get very nasty weather in the winter...basically we get a lot of all the 4 seasons during the year so I am looking for the tire that gonna give me the best performance in general all year round in every season and also look good. And just FYI I am also planning on getting a 2.5 " /1.5 daystar if possible.

I Would greatly appreciate if you guys can give me some advice about these two.

BTW here is my rig...thanks in advance to whom ever take the time to reply to this thread.
