One thing I should add to the requirements list is the 4Runner will continue to be my daily driver (46 mile round trip M-F) until December when it will become the 3rd vehicle. After reading what the bigger tires do to fuel mileage, I'll stick with the 32" size.

My feelings for my Mickey T's are mixed. Mine are the 12.5" wide. They look cool on the 4th Gen riding to the "Mall" It took a lot to get rid of almost all the rubbing. But I was a little disapointed with them on some trails and on ice. Being wide i find that they float and wander too much. And if in a slippery muddy rut, and you try to turn and climb out of it, I find it donest bite enough and you basically corkscrew forward. On the 4th Gen I would not put 12.5 wide again. My buddies went the 285/70/17 Mickey T's and I see those working best.
Now that those tires are on my 1st Gen. I kind of like them. Weird because it weighs less. But they work better on the 1st Gen for me.
Now I think the BFG Km2 is better and is what I should have gotten. With my buddies we are probably split 40/40 between Mickey's and Km2 and then all the rest. For where I wheel. The Km2 seems to perform better. But I like the way the wide MTZ look on the 4th Gen.
But I also learned, that the longer you spend researching tires and lifts, the longer you sit at home researching tires and lifts rather than just doing it, and getting out there.
haha LOL I know because that's what I did. And then now after all that...i still have buyers remorse.
