Nokian Rotiiva AT

I am constantly searching for tires for my GX. Criteria: tough, yet quiet.......and must have tire weight of around stock tire (36-40 lbs). My stock Dueler HT 265/6018 is 38 lbs.

Thanks @MAST4R for pointing these tires out.

Link: Nokian Rotiiva AT - All-Season tires / Nokian Tires

Stock size (265/60/18)...this thing weighs 36 lbs! And the sidewall uses: Nokian Tyres Aramid Sidewall technology / Nokian Tires

Basically, it is just like Goodyear Wrangler Adventure AT with Kevlar. The problem i fear with Goodyear is that it may affect fuel economy.

According to Consumer Reports, it does pretty well......great in winter (snowflake), good on noise level, and low rolling resistance (aka fuel economy): https://www.continentaltire.com/site...ainContact.pdf

Handling and braking (wet or dry) are not its strong points however.

Here is Discount Tire: Nokian Tire Rotiiva AT Tires | Truck Passenger All-Terrain Tires | America's Tire

Nokian site says that it is available in 265/65/18...but Discount Tire does not offer it.

Anyone have these tires?

I think Discount Tire will get that size for you if you ask since they already offer the tire (they can also get tires not in their catalog though not always).

I ran these for a few years after the stock tires, i just went up one size.
On my real actual 4runner that i own and drive.

No complaints about the tires, a good inexpensive choice.

...unlike this 'Thai' character of whom i have never even seen a picture of any supposed toyota/lexus he claims to have.

Love how he can still use this site to further his political agenda.
As in that BOGUS link to his GX that is a BS political link.

Actually, they are NOT inexpensive...at least not the updated one with Kevlar-like sidewall...they are listed in my GX size at $194/tire.

As for my signature, sorry to offend you, but it is true...my Lexus is 100% stock...thus, i was just trying to convey something that does not exist...and found that link. Sorry again for offending your sensitive nature.

Are you calling me out on fake news?

FYI #1: here is my Lexus: After years, FINALLY back in SUV!

My Sienna: My New "Land Cruiser"

FYI #2: if you search back enough, then you will see pics of my beautiful white 4runner...2002 Limited 4wd...and maybe even some off-roading pics.

FYI #3: I have been on this forum since 2002.......i was literally the first member....

Anything else?

Birds of a feather...
I am hardly the 'sensitive' type, no offended-ness here.

I thought it was the policy of the site to not discuss politics and yet here you are bypassing the system.
No doubt you are an intelligent individual.

Since i was not actually stalking/following you. I have only the limited experience of a couple less than fun threads that i encountered you in.
You definitely have been here a long time...not disputing that you have one of the largest chat counts i have seen.

I had a smaller 16" tire maybe why it cost less?
Anyhow it was a good tire.

I don’t know Thai, but I’ve encountered him on here several times. He seems to be a decent guy with a great sense of humor.

I asked Nokian about more info on the Rotiiva...this is their response:

“ The construction of this particular tire is 2 ply polyester, 2 steel and 1 nylon overlay above the steel plies.

The Aramid Sidewall technology in mixed with the sidewall rubber from bead area to shoulder area. There is no aramid in the tread area.

The XL designation does not represent a significant different in construction. It has however been tested at higher loads and is able to sustain higher inflation pressures to maintain heavier loads. XL should not be used with the assumption that it is a “stronger” tire, but simply that it can hold heavier loads.”
