ok heres the deal, i got a 93 4 runner and im fixin to buy me some tires. honestly im having the worst time making up my mind. things i know, i need the tire to be under 200$ a piece, i want them to be knobby and loud and i want them to be 33x12.50x15. the only thing is i need them to get a decent numnber of miles before they wear out. right now i am looking at either TSL radial, Thornbrds, or TSL ssx. i still cant find that one tire that just feels right, you know. so im sking for yalls opinions on what tire i should get. if you post up some pictures that would be ballin too... thanks guys

You wont fit anything larger than 31x10.5 or 33x10.5 without a lift.

Also understand that any swamper tire has a soft tire compound which means they will wear way fast on road vs off. And isnt exactly the most controllable on the street.

May I suggest if you want a compromise of cool looking, loud, and function the firestone destination mud terrain? They come in 31x10.5x15 to fit your stock truck and 33x12.5x15 to fit a lifted truck plus a ton of other metric sizes.

But remember, you wont be fitting 33x12.5's without some kinda lift.

I'm confused...
I understand looks are important, but why would you want a 'loud' tire ?
And, I would stay under 32" without some kind of lift...

Also, I might be showing my age here, but, is Ballinest one of those new 'hip' words ?

ballinest tire? Why dont you guy buy a cadilac and throw some 20s on it?
If your choosing a tire just for looks..your wasting a lot of money. If your not wheelin the truck, theres no need to spend the cash on TSLs, or any serious offroad tire for that matter. NOW if your actually going to wheel yuor truck.... look at a TSL radial. It will last long enough.

BTW*what kind of wheeling do you do?

AxleIke

Well, different strokes for different folks.

Also, x2 on what CJM said. Those tires won't last long.

If you want loud, get the thornbird. You won't be able to hear your self think.

You also won't get that size under there without trimming or a BL. If it never sees offroad time, you can do a suspension lift alone.

AxleIke

Oh, and I'm not that old, and i have no idea what that word is or what it means.

what does ballinest mean? do you mean like ballin'ness.. i hope not since its a 4runner and not a lowrider

Justinvd

r u looking for a good looking tire or something that is functional offroad, thornbirds are loud but they blow in the bush

Ballin - to have expensive items or to be an expensive person. having alot of money, nice cloths, cell phone, house, etc.

BTW..this term should be on yotatech ;-)

I think P. Diddy has the "ballinest" tires on his Cadillac Escalade EXT

how can tires even be ballin. i understand rims but tires?

Tacoma750

i think this kids like 14, trying to look cool with some big meaty tires.. *lame*

jfreisner

BFG All-Terrains (no offense to guys who run them, I had them too) are pretty ballin' since they come stock on ballin' H2's

mikes19984x4

in my opinion, a pretty "ballin" tire would be something like the cooper STTs or the new kumho mud terrians, as they both look good, nd perform well off-road...

Tacoma750

i think he should just go buy a civic

jfreisner

IMO, any Interco tire is pretty ballin. Just my .02

mikes19984x4

HAHAHAHA!!!! and go put some huge 19s on it...

does your truck have cup holders? You might want this to match your new ballin tires
