So here's what I've narrowed my search down to:

Nitto Terra Grappler

Dueler Revo

Hankook Dynapro AT RF08

Hankook Dynapro AS RH03

I've already read what some of you think of the Nittos and Revos. If anyone has experience with either of the Hankooks, I'd love to hear about it. Thanks.

Red,nice rare red Sport Edition.

I had Hankook 22's on my GMC Yukon Denali and absolutely loved them. I put about 10k miles on them and they looked nearly new, which I didn't expect since most of the guys I knew with 22's told me I'd be lucky to get 20K miles out of that size tire. They were quite affordable compared to the other brands as well...so as a brand, I highly recommend them!

I have the Revo's on my '98 Runner with 32,000 miles on them. So far, they have been excellent and I should be able to get the 50,000 miles out of them. One tire has been plugged and has never been a problem. Checked on some Revo's (last set of the old style Revo's) yesterday at our Base BX and I got an out the door price of $608 + $40 road hazard, tire rotation is free for the life of the tires down to 3/32nd's. Didn't get a price on the Revo's II's. My Revo's have been rotated and balanced every 6 months. I do no off road driving, strictly paved highway. May go to a more highway use tire for my next set instead of the Revo. Just had my 90,000 mile belt change and water pump replacement done so I have a lot of life left in this 4Runner (limited edtion 4WD Automatic). I am on my second set of tires since new.

You sure dug this thread back up. :-) I now have just over 40,000 on my REVO's and have never had a problem with them. I think we just went over the 70,000 mile mark on the 2002 4Runner and I see no reason why we won't get another 20,000 miles out of the tires.

General Grabber AT2's
Snow Great! it has more sipes then the BFG's and the snow doesn't stick in there as much. A hardly ever needed my 4 wheel (while going slow) no slippage
Ice: Good. ice is slippery no matter what tire you have, i say these are great on the ice! i haven't been stuck in a parking spot yet!
Rain: Amazing! no slipping at all!
Dirt: Great, they grip like a AT tire
Mud: Good, you get some slippage but it is mud and mud is slick
Noise: pretty dang quiet for a beefy AT tire.
Warranty/Price a paid about $110 a tire at Discount, with the 50k warranty and 4 free tire replacements.
Overall. i love this tire i have the stock size 265 16 ??? i cant remember. This tire is available for pretty much any size. it looks mean and as a bonus for those who want snow tires too... these come with little holes on the edges in the tread to insert some studs if you'd like. pretty fricken sweet id say! here is what they look like.
TireRac rated them great too!

I have stock rims and ive been trying to look for some tires and i wanted to know what is the max size i can hit on a stock rim on stock suspension. I will lift later on but im seeing a lot of people with the same rims but they use 16 but mine is 15. Any help?

Try the second post in this thread. Did you read it before posting?

I need to get new tires for my 2002 4Runner Sport 4x4. I'm moving to Florida soon so need to get tires that will grip in the rain. I currently have Goodyear Wrangler Armortrac 265/70R16. I feel like they did not grip the road when it is wet. What tires do you guys recommend for Florida weather - basically hard rain lol

The general grabber at2s are great if you ever plan to leave the pavement

Old thread but I think it would be useful to a lot of people if it was brought back to life. Tires can be one of the bigger investments for 20 year old vehicles - a large percentage of the vehicle's value, actually.

After reading several threads about increasing the size of my stock tires to 265/75R16, I landed on the BFG KO2s that seemed to be recommended by several people. The ratings were really good around the interwebs, and they seem to be liked by members here. They were a little on the pricey size but I don't put a lot of miles on & expect them to last me at least 8 years probably 10.

They've been described to me as fairly quiet and good handling for an aggressive looking tire. I don't go off road a lot but definitely lots of deep snow ice and mud in the winter and a lot of gravel roads. I also prefer blackwall and not white lettering.

So I'll follow up with a report by editing this post over time. If anyone else has had good (or bad) experiences with them, chime in!

I agree.

i like the goodyear all terrain adventure kevlar tires that are on the new taco trd sport people take em off at the dealership and you can get em for cheap in a 265 70 16 they are super expensive brand new from any tire store. They are smooth as butter on road and off road great on any terrain tough as nails you can beat the shit out of em no complaints except that i dont like em on snow and ice i always have dedicated winters but if you dont get snow and ice they'll rock all year long and performance is still good even as they wear. very quiet on road and they look pretty good too having a mildy aggresive tread not like duratracs but not like a boring road tire either. PEACE!

Hi all, thanks for the tire reviews. I have read these and many other posts. I'd love some help on a few things specifically that are often not identified in a lot of the posts.

My daughter has a 2WD 4Runner (1998 Limited, 6cyl). She is in Michigan and is due for new tires. The truck and the girl came from California, so we have limited snow / ice experience.

She is looking for tire recommendations for the stock 265/70R16. Grip in snow is preferred over things like quietness, or low price. She lives in a shared living arrangement, so she cannot have dedicated winter tires.

I have read many threads that say "get a 4WD", so that advice is not needed, thank you! I understand RWD is not the best option.

If she stays in a wintry climate, she will trade for a 4WD in future. Meantime she will avoid icy days when possible, drive slowly and take the learned opinions of this group to get the best tires for her current reality. Thank you!
