Well, I decided to go with 16's because of all the tire options. Now I can't really decide on which tire. Need some help. Anyways, I've narrowed it down to 4 tires (see below).

 

Ive got the Geolander AT II... good tire and quiet

 

TSL's

 

could you say what 4 tires you are looking at, as can't open that link you have up, if that's where you are getting the 4 tires from. my dad runs 285/75/16 BFG A/Ts on his 02 F250 4x4 and they seem to wer well and are quite durable. i personally run radial Buckshot Mudders on my 98 SR5 4x4 4Runner, as i do quite a bit of hunting and need better traction than the BFGs, but you really can't go wrong with either one. hope this helps...

 

Oh shoot! Sorry about that, it says it timed out. Here they are:

Kuhmo
RVXT
Mud Rover
Destination
The Destination says it weighs 56lbs on FS's site though..

 

okay, now i see what choices your lookin at...lol! and now that you mention the kuhmos, my uncle currently has a set of them on his 03 Z71, and you would be surprised at what they're capable of doing, but then again, the Z71 has a little bit more power than our 'yotas. but it looks like your trying to choose between to "all-terrian" tires and two "mud-terrian" tires, which brings up my next question : what type of driving will you be doing, and if it's any off-roadin, what kind? (for example, loose rocks, slick clay mud, snow, etc.)

 

I like my Bridgestone Revo's.

However here is a poll done awhile back:

You know I was looking at those too.. I'm interested in the weight of the tires as well. They will most likely be going on steelies, so that's gona be some extra weight for my 89 Runner & 22RE. Good thing is, in the summer I can pull the top off and that should compensate for the heavier shoes. I also found some private brand tires for a really nice price. Just can't find a lot of info on them.
Durango
Trail Cutter?

Well, for winter, not much off roading, but come summer I'm hoping to go at least 50%... and in Co, we have rocks. BIG ROCKS! I would probably not use them much during winter and I'd like to get a good looking tire, so I'd say I'll probably grab a mud terrain.

 

look into Terra Grapplers, they seem to have the best of both worlds for the tires your looking at, just a thought!
i like how they look and heard some pretty good things about them
not what your lookin for but figured id chime in

 

I just got some Cooper Stt's and I love them.

 

My friend just put some Mickey Thompson MTZ on his 4runner. Work great.

 

Not a problem.. if there are better tires for less... Let me know. It seems I have exhausted this search, but it could be easily overlooked.

 

go for those cooper STTs, as i am hearing some great things about them from my local tire shop. only reason i got buckshots instead of the STTs is the fact that i'm still in college, so funds are tight...haha! anyways, hope you find what suits your needs best, as in my opinion, that's what defines a tire as being a good one...

 

Ya, I don't want to spend a ton of money either though..I'm frugal like that

On the Terra Grapplers... which tire are you talking about? Discount tire direct has 2:

D

E

 

does the d and e mean the load ratings, as i can't pull up the link again. but assuming this is correct, the d rated tire would be fine. and are you talkin about the mud grapplers or just the all terrian tera grappler?

 

Dude, I don't know what the heck is up w/me and my links today, but yeah they are the load ratings.. D can go on a lighter truck right? Like my lil 4Runner

Try this link:


Edit: Fixed the links above..

 

haha, that's okay man, i new to it myself. but yeah, the D rated tire will be more than enough for the 4Runner, as the buckshots i run are only C rated. most C's are 6 ply, D's are 8 ply, E's are 10ply. so the D's should be fine. and exactly which nitto terra grappler are you looking at?

 

It's the Grappler AT. $143 each. $572 w/free shipping. I also get free mount & balance at my buddy's shop.

 

sounds like a great deal to me. i was also lookin into the grappler ATs for my next tire, b/c of doing more road driving, even though my Buckshots still have probably 60% tread on 'em (i like to plan ahead ) good luck with them, as i am sure you will like them, as many people say they do.
