Need Suggestions For Tires

Hey I was wondering if guys could recommend me some tires for my 97 4runner. I don't drive in snow (live in Florida) and I don't do any rock crawling. I do however mud, bog, and go through sandy areas and I would like to know if you guys knew of any that are great for my purposes. my budget is 150 per tire.

I really need to add some pictures of the truck anyways so I'll snap a few so you can see the stance with that size. Trucks down right now cause of break line failure so I can't move it around.

What size are those? I'm guessing 30 inch. That's the size I want but I'm gonna have to deal with a little rubbing until I got enough money to get a lift

They are 31x10.5x15 and I don't have any rubbing. With your 4runner you could probably go 33x12x15 but it may need lift I don't have a 4 runner so just from what I have seen they can deal with bigger than mine. Also the bigger you go the more you need to think about regearing your diff.

I have a gray 96 4runner very similar to yours. I just replaced the suspension,ball joints,tie rod ends and sway bar links as well updated the brakes with the tundra calipers and rotors. It's getting to be time to think about new tires. I have always been very happy with Michelin tires and will probably get another set. I am thinking about changing my 16" wheels to 17" wheels...

Nitro trail grapplers, or cooper STT

I had duratracks and they were good but not aggressive enough for me.

Neither will be loud if you keep your alignment straight and keep them rotated.
