The tires on the 2003 probably won't last any longer than 3rd Gen 4Runners, I was reading on TundraSolution and the guys with Sequoias that have Dunlops like my self said after 20k new tires are needed.
So far as replacement tire sizes since nothing good is available in 265/65 I might go with 275/65 which does not seem as large as 265/70, I use this tire size thing http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html
Just have to figure out the tread with so I will know if they will rub on turns
Forgot to put in my 1st post I have Dunlops

2,350 miles on the OEM Dunlop 17's. Decent in the dry, and I found that they'll squeal at the limit before breakaway. Seem to shed water well. Very good in moderately deep sand. OK ride for a truck with 38FF/38RR.
I went to America's Tire Co. and the guy said Goodyear something-or-other is a close match for an off-road tire. Sorry I don't recall the model. He showed me a set on his Pathfinder, but they looked too aggressive for my needs.

I have almost 5000 miles on mine. I switched out the POS stock tires with Bridgestone A/T 265/70/17's; Much better than the H/T. I would have gotten the Revo's if they were available at the time.

AFAIK, no Michelins available except the OEM style that come randomly. A dealer might swap tires for you if they have a Michelin-shod truck in stock. Otherwise, I'd look aftermarket for 16" rims (they come standard on SR5) that'll open a wider range of tire choices.

ive got 1950 so far same tires but im in the process of getting new tires and rims undecided though on what to get. What do you think my stock rims and tires would be worth with around 3k miles on them??? there the 17inch version. Im most likely getting a new set of 18"s but i dont know i might want some 20's.

The Nav system has a calibration mode you can put it into when you get tires of a new size so not problem there either. Go for it!

2800+ Miles on the factory Bridgestones. I did find something that these tires actually do quite well on, however. Towing. Had the Runner straining with a 2500lb trailer and 500 lbs in the back, and those tires didn't bulge or howl a bit.
I still can't wait to get some REAL tires on there...
