my room mate has em on his w250 that he bought early last year. i was so surprised by their overall performance that i bought 5 last weekend and had them mounted and balanced:


size is 285/75/16

since its only been a week and a half in the middle of summer, i havent had the chance to put them to the test with any snow on my rig. we did manage to go last winter in my room mates w250 and he ended up saving a lot of people. these tires did great. we only got stuck once the snow got axle/pumpkin deep (which is where rigs with a lot more $$ invested also got stuck, he's open diff F & R). other than that, tires did great. we went the year prior with some old, tired, bald tires on the w250 and got stuck a lot more. its amazing how much good tires can help you.

back to my 4runner. its only been a week and a half now and ive only put about 100 miles on these, but im still super impressed with how they ride and road noise. my other buddy has a 98 4runner with patagonia MTs in the same size. we drove next to each other (for science), and the road noise from his tires completely washed mine out. of course its apples to oranges comparision, but needless to say, he's already picked out his next set of tires.

finally, FWIW, i paid 960 locally (cash) for 5 tires mounted and balanced to my f5s. im in norcal (check craigslist). cheaper than i could find anywhere online.

edit:
also, in this size, it doesnt fit the spare wheel well. mine is currently residing in the back cargo area until i get bumpers.
