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.

 

Thornbirds

 

my 87 xcab pickup runs 31x10.5x15 goodyear wranger duratracks. nice meaty tire with deep tread but not loud on the road.

 

yeah i was just looking into those! theyre in my price range too

 

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.

 

heres some pics of mine so you guys can get an idea

 

heres some pics of the truck.

 

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.

I found this site useful for researching tires.

 

DD or off-road toy?

I currently run Nitro trail on my 95' awesome mud tire , quiet on the road , but they are wearing faster than I expected.......I would suggest the duratracs or fierce attitude . Btw check Wal-Mart they price match
