Sorry can you repeat that again? Too busy staring at your profile pic. 😁

i'm guessing with these bigger storms, you'll need more then double head of a quarter.

stay safe
I bought it a year ago. The Nitto Grapplers came with it. Tire treads are 11/32 or 11mm deep. I thought that is sufficient. Guess not.

Going slower in the corners is a good idea too. At least until you get some new rubber.
Thanks everyone for your replies. I was caught off guard when this first happened. Never expected it to happen with such big tires. You confirmed what I was thinking in that the problem was with the tires. I’ve never bought these tires before so I’m not familiar with them. I bought my 4Runner used a year ago and the Terra Grappler came with it. So I don’t know how old they are or how many miles they have. It still had decent tread on them so I thought the tires were still good. Guess not.

Looks like it’s time to buy new tires. I’ve had KO2 on my Trooper for many years and never had any problem and always been happy with them but I’ll definitely check out the Wildpeaks AT3 since so many people recommend them. Until then I’ll have to treat the corners like mud. 😁

Thanks everyone for your help!

I think my next tires will be the wild peaks AT3. They look bigger for there size.
