Aggressive Tires for my 4Runner?
Hello Guys,
I'm new here and this is my first post, so bare with me until I get to know your culture!
I have 2003 4Runner Limited and it needs new rubbber. The suspension is stock and I have done no mods at all since I bought it new. I want to put the most aggressive tread I can find that will still fit in the standard wheel well. In your experience I was hoping you could point me in the best direction for locating my best option. The truck will see some off road action (Tahoe in the winter etc...) but the car must also be able to handle highway speeds.
I was looking at the BF Goodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM, 285/70R 17/D
Is this my best option for all I need?

Welcome 
Most members on here go with the Bridgestone Dueller A/T Revo's when they need replacement tires.
Just do a search and you will find TONS of threads on tires...
EDIT: This thread would be a good one to start with

http://www.toyota-4runner.org/search.php?s= 
most folks here report 265/70 as the largest size tire which will fit without rubbing on stock suspension..
BFG AT/KO
Bridgestone Dueler REVOS
Nitto Terragrappler
Goodyear MTR
these are the most commonly talked about..
highway speed or mud terrain... which is more important? might want to consider an all terrain..

Mud Terrain + Tahoe in the winter = bad
You need an All Terrain. Look at the BFG AT KO.

what tires do you currently have on your vehicle and how many miles do you have on them?

Current Miles/brand
Currently I have the stock Dunlap AT20's (265/65R/17) and they have 50K miles on them!
I'm really warming up to the idea of the NittoGrapplers's in a 265/70/17 configuration.
They seem to fit with all my concerns and they also have a bit more of an aggressive look.

BFG KO's all the way but if you go the M/T route then look at the TOYO M/T. Personally I think they are much better then MTR and BFG M/T with also great characteristics on road.

From personal experience with both is the Nittos handle deep snow pretty much the same as the BFGs but it's when it's slushy and slick or rainy the Nittos take the cake in the control department and resist hydroplaning much better and the Nittos are much cheaper.
Revos are a better choice for those with daily drivers that will see significant mileage over a year or so since they do have a mileage warranty.

I recently had 315/75 R17 Mickey Thomson MTZ's fitted to my 2nd gen and I love them......very smooth ride for an agressive tyre, and have performed awesome offroad so far too!! Have only done about 5000kms on them so far, but they look like they'll wear pretty good!

Get the 265/70/17 LT (Light truck E rated) REVOs. They will provide great traction on both on/off road conditions. They are more aggressive the "P" REVOs. No one here has yet gotten them. Any of those real aggressive looking tire will make tons of noise on pavement and will not provide good traction in snow/rain.
