Hi everybody,

Just got 2" OME kit installed and love it, but now its time to replace my tires 265/70 R16.
\My question is what would be best size up from this as i do some off roading?
\Does anybody has any feedback on Nitto Terra tires? Or what tire you would recomend?

Thanks all!!

 

What vehicle do you drive? In general though, with a 2" you shouldn't go past 265/75's unless a little rubbing doesn't bother you. I've heard some good things about the Terra Grapplers but have no personal experience with them

 

I guess i forgot to add i drive 2000 4 Runner 4x4 SR5!

 

I'm in the same boat as you...trying to decide which tires to get. I have been told that 265/75R16 (32") is the biggest we can go without a lift. You have a 2" lift so you can go a little bigger if you'd like. Two factors must be taken into consideration when going bigger...rubbing, and gearing (mileage & power). The next bigger size up from 265/75 is 285/75 (33X11.5), but you're destined to rub on the interior sidewall on the upper arms. Another option is 255/85 (33") but only 10.5" wide so you don't rub at all or not nearly as much. It gives your rig a skinny look, but you don't rub and you don't lose as much power or mileage as the 285/75. That being said, 265/75R16 gives you a better look and performance than stock, and you'll experience minimal power/ mileage loss when compared to the bigger sizes I just mentioned. As for the best tires for off road, try to find an aggressive looking radial tire with good mileage ratings if you plan on using it as your daily driver. It all depends on where and how often you plan on driving your 4Runner.
Hope that helps.

As for me...I'm totally on the fence between 265/75 and 255/85. I'd LOVE to get a set of BFG MT KM2's in either size, but don't want to have power or mileage loss of the 255/85's. It's a matter of deciding function over fashion.


Here's a thread where I was trying to get a few of the folks on here to help me make up my mind...https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f177.../#post50921913
Tempting HUH?!
GOOD LUCK!

 

265/75R16 General Grabber AT2s if you plan on running an all-terrain all year round, instead of a snow tire.

Other all terrains rated for, or good in snow that I know about:

BFG TA K/O ("All-Terrain")
Cooper ST (not the best on ice, but better than most in deep snow)
Nitto TG
Nokian Vatiiva (I have them, there not brilliant IMO, but I haven't any experience with any other tires.)

 

I like Toyos---and Nittos

 

Thats awsome information. I have decided to go with 265/75/R16. I had Bridgstone dueler A/T REVO and it is an awsome highway tire as i did already 120k km on it.For snow it was only good first year then it got harder and now sucks LOL.
Still need to figure out what tire?
You guys gave me quite few options so its just a matter of deciding which one to get>

Thanks

 

If you actually off road more than a few times a year and your truck is a daily driver then Nittos are a very solid tire for the money. They handle dry and wet pavement quite well and resist hydroplaning better than most A/Ts I've driven on and are solid off road.

I should see about 50k out of mine and I won't hesistate to buy another set.

 

Well here were i live gets cold and we get lots off snow(6 months) so driving on roads is sometimes like offrading lol
on top of that i do quite a bit of hunting so i would need something more agressive!
