Talking Help pleasee!

Hey guys/girls whats up... I just got a set of 4 wheels for my 4Runner... and I am planning on getting some bigger tires just to have some fun with when I go muddin or to the lake... I am keeping my smaller tires for roadtrips and traveling...

But my question is what is a verrrrry cheap tire... offroad tire... either mud terrain or all terrain? I just want a cheap kind to throw on and mess around with and not waste a lot of money...

I am looking for a size around 32x11.50...

Thanks a lot

Ian

ian, you can look at what the tire rack www.tirerack.com offers. you can drill down on types (ie MT or AT) and from there, build a list and compare their prices. sometimes their prices are a bit higher than elsewhere, sometimes lower, but it should give you a starting point.

What's your thoughts...?

Yeah thanks I actually already did that earlier today and came back with three tires for the size 32x11.50...

1) Kumho Venture MT = $105
2) Kumho Venture AT 825 = $89
3) Yokohama Geolandar A/T+II = $100

The #'s 2 and 3 seem to rate about the same and have about the same review rating... but I know nothing about them... anyone know which is better for sand and goin through some mud?

Also I've heard good things about #1... but heck if the #2 tires are good might have to stick them on there...

What do you guys think about them?

Thanks Ian

The Kumho Venture AT is not very aggressive at all. Check for a Firestone affiliated dealer in your area that sells the Dayton Timberline MT. They are very similar to the Firestone Destination MT in tread design.
