Cool New Tires

After nearly 5 years of having my 4runner (and about 53,000 miles later) I finally got new tires for the rig - BF Goodrich A/T ko's
265/75/16.

The look is great compared to the stock 265/70/16 that come with the runner. They really close out the big opening in the wheel well.

Actually I saw 2Sweets new shoes in person, looks great, rides great...no tire noise either.

Maybe in about 5 more years when I catch up to your mileage I'll be ready to get my first new set of tires for the Runner. I'll go with the 75's as well (26k on my rig so far )

Before I had my 4Runner I was putting about 10,000-15,000 an average per year. Now I'm at almost 35,000 after just 1.5 years. Why did Toyota make 4Runner such a nice and reliable car to drive? It handles every road on any road trip and can get to places no other car can. Dang it!

Here are pics 2Sweet sent to me today of the new shoes as his site is on Geocities and he cannot post pics here.

Those tires look real sweet on that black rig. Hopefully in 5 years I can get 265/75's.

thanks jalaber for hosting the pics for me

yes - I have stock suspension and no rubbing at all - there is plenty of room in the wheel well for 75's
