I wouldn't hesitate to run them regardless of the setup you have. They are great tires, along with my REVO's. You don't have to have all these aggressive looking tires to be a greate off-roader. In fact most of them suck and just look good. I've said it before, but I'llput my REVO's up against any comparably equiped 4runner with any other tire on the market, and I guarantee they'll either hang right with them or pass them up.

I saw those, and I could definitely fit them on my stock rims, but I'm probably wanting at least a 12.50 or possibly a 13.50 if I can do enough fender trimming to make them work. I'd get 37x11.50's if someone made them!!

Are you going to get a power steering cooler for all that? I thought you were stuck on 315/75/16 (35x12.50x16) Yokos?

I'd be scared to go that high on an IFS and run it on the rocks. Be way too tipsy for me. Now if I had a street queen, then yeah I'd be all over it. It'd look nice though!!!

I'm pretty stuck the Yoko's because for the price and performance and size, it's impossible to beat. It will probably be what I get. We'll see though.
