I used to run 31x10.50's BFG MT's on my old ride and they held up for 35K, mostly highway and around town, some off roading. I currently run 285/75/16 Mud Kings and they are fairly quiet and are awesome off-road. Little bit of hum on the highway is a good thing!

Yeah, I miss my 12 sec. grocery getter, too. And my 11 sec. one! I did some R&R from Iraq in Qatar in 2004. It was an airbase, but I can't remember the name. Good luck with the z06, that's a completely different beast than the STi; in a good way .

not trying to jack thread, but I am curious if 265/75/16 will fit on a 99 stock 4runner limited? what is the largest diameter you can put on one without clearance issues?

i have ran 3 different tires all 35" on my chevy 2500HD and by far the best was toyo open country mud terrains. i started with pro-comp mud terrains, went to toyo's, then back to pro-comp xterrains for a change. i had 25K on the pro-comp MT's, got 40K out of the toyos, and currently have around 25K on the pro-comp xterrains. the toyos wore more unevenly, but were much quieter on the street.

Someone enlighten me on why MT's are being suggested for a daily driver. It's like some people from the sports car crowd I used to run with that had r-comps or close to, for their daily driver. Worn out in less than 10k miles, not to mention unsafe for anything but warm, dry weather. I see the same for MT's. Way overkill for the streets and waste of money, IMO.

I've had 255/85/16 BFG MT's on my truck now for a little over 55,000km and they are holding up just fine. Absolutley no handling issues, work great in the snow, not a lot of road noise...none of the things I was warned about before I got them. My only complaint is they will hydroplane if I hit standing water on the highway. That's it. I love 'em, and will be replacing them when they wear out...which will still be quite a while.
