I think that was a misquote and meant 255/80-17, which is 33.1".

Sorry that should've read 255/80.

I looked at the Nitto Ridge Grapplers and have ruled them out for my uses. They get horrible reviews for snow / ice.

Scroll down to the bottom of this link and look at the reviews.

While snow is rare here in SW Missouri, I do have family in Michigan that I visit every so often.


I'm shopping for 33 inch tires and haven't made up my mind yet. I want to try something else - other than Falkens.

I was also looking at the bridgestone revo3. They look pretty nice. I don't believe the sidewall is to stiff, only like 2ply. For the money for me the Falken look nice. The nitto gets bad reviews for rain or wet pavement.

Thanks

If Toyo made the Open Country AT3 in a 275 I'd go with them but they don't, so I'm going Falken. If I was able to fit 285s I'd go with the Toyos.

I'm all over the place - pretty sure I want 10 ply / E rated, even though the ride should be worse.

Toyo AT3's are in the running though. Toyo is a sister company of Nitto but their AT3 offer's a different a different tread pattern while being 3 peak snowflake rated.

I'm also debating a dedicated Mud Terrain Tire. Maybe go 285 w/ those on a 2nd set of rims and just stick with my Wildpeaks till they are completely worn out.

I don't know - putting it off for a while.

I have driven in wet and icy/snowy conditions. They work great, much better than the KO2s on my old Raptor. I have not driven the 265 P metric Wildpeaks, so I can't speak on the difference.

That's really helpful. Maybe I will bite the bullet on the loss of fuel economy (weight increase) and get the 275's, unless someone here has driven both the P metric 265's and can tell me they are markedly better than the 275's for icy roads/traction. I'll likely be moving to northern AZ and the winters will see light snow.
I hated the LT E load KO2's on my GX 460 for rain/wet traction, and I lived in a place that got a lot of rain at the time. Those tires could not have been worse for that purpose. I was an inexperienced tire buyer at the time-- lesson learned.

OP what did you go with?

I got the 275 C-rated Wildpeaks installed today: actually tightened up the ride over my previous P-rated Coopers. Less washy/squishy. No noticeable impact on acceleration, braking, etc.

Fwiw, they are BIG tires and they do rub a little bit for me. They look more like 285s than 265s IMO.

I'm having hell finding wheels that'll fit the tires and not have a positive offset. I should mention I'm getting a 3" lift kit put on the 4Runner.

I'm looking at either a 275/65/18 or a 265. The ones I really like are the Falken ATIII, but the Nitto and the BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A K02 look good as well. We're on a rocky road and we get rain and snow, but we have a long drive there and don't want to be overwhelmed by noise.

I just really don't have a clue and don't want to sink 2,500 into a package I'll regret later. I want an aggressive look, good traction in rain and snow, and though it'll be taken off-road, I'm not running the Jeep Jamboree in it.

Do y'all have tire/wheel suggestions for that?

I REALLY appreciate any help you can give me. Thanks!

for tires NITTO RIDGE for tires btw

i want -38 for myself.. when they stick out it looks cooler

Haven’t pulled the trigger yet. Was waiting to get closer to 20k miles before making the change. I’m leaning towards exactly what you got — the C rated 275 Falkens. Where I’m moving to in northern AZ will see a moderate amount of snow and some wet summer months. I’m thinking that in terms of traction, there won’t be a huge difference between 4 ply P rated 265’s and the 6 ply C rated LT 275’s.
E load is a different story and I can see why the wet traction differences would be noticeable between the p metric and 10 ply E load tires.

I’ve had the 275 Falken’s for a little over a year. Had a small balancing issue early on but discount tire took care of it. Haven’t been off road much but we just got 6-8” of snow/ice and they’ve done awesome. I was running 4wd on unplowed roads but put it in 2wd just to see and they clawed right thru. These things are great but they do come with a mileage hit. I average around 17 mpg city and maybe 19 hwy. I feel like at more confident off road and in the snow. They look great but do come at a cost with the mileage. But it’s a 4Runner not a Prius so I don’t care. Slight rub when backing and turning on hills. Minor trimming will take care of it. I’ll try to post pics later on.

If you want a beefier tire with good performance tire that looks awesome the Falken is great. If you want a smooth/efficient tire go with something else.
