Why turn them off? They serve a good purpose in making your car more visible.

Here are a couple to start with: http://www.toyota-4runner.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=31129&highlight=snow+tires http://www.toyota-4runner.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=28908&highlight=snow+tires

They don't qualify as snow tires. The Dunlops are an all-season highway tire and work fine in general snow conditions (mine have worked well in up to 12" of snow on bot unplowed roads and highways). HOWEVER, if you need special purpose tires for snow, look for something with the snowflake on...

Putting the window down doesn't scrape the dirt off, and the sticker must be attached much better than the dirt.

Good idea on the skull. I have a saltwater fish and am about to add another because I like to think I am going off to fish when I walk up to the car. Unfortunately, it doesn't happen enough. Maybe you can find a snowboarder riding a wave of snow.

It works for some and not for others. I guess it is worth a try as I already have a decal on the rear driver side window. I also wonder whether the rear window defrogger ;): will accelerate it coming off. Jeff, it was the one without legs. The one with legs got away. :cool::D

Too bad Toyota doesn't sell it with a diesel.

I wanted to put a decal on the rear window of my 2004 Sport. Will the decal last or will the rubber flange scrape it off over time as I put the window up and down? The decal is a fish, if that affects your answer. :biggrin2:

Yesterday, I saw a relatively new 4Runner with a hood scoop. It was silver like my 2004 SE so I looked closely and it was a Silver Limited with a hood scoop and a V8. I didn't know you can get a scoop on Llimiteds. Was this stock?

Not to get political on a non-political forum, but count me in on this one - I don't buy French either. They made our pilots fly around their country when we bombed Libya in the 1980s (about doubling the time they had to spend in the air), and they have been a constant political problem and...

Shipping is about $15-20 per tire. Decent mounting and balancing is around $30. You can search Tire Rack for installers near your zip code and they will list costs.

I am faced with the same choice next week or the following. I am trying to decide between the Revos and the Yokos. It is hard to convince myself that the Revos are worth the extra dollars. I am on my second set of Yokos on the Suburban and they have been great. I don't like the Michelins...

I have towed 4500 lbs (a boat) a fair amount (including 3000+ mile round trips) with a 2001 Suburban and with my 2004 4Runner Sport. There is no comparison. The Suburban handles the load much better, including particularly controlling the weight on the highway and when stopping. The 4Runner...

I ran Yoko Geos - the HT/S 051s - on a Suburban. Got 50K miles and was very happy with them, so I just replaced them with the same tires. They are excellent on the highway and around town - quiet and good traction. I am getting ready to put the same Geolanders on my 4Runner Sport (2004). It...

For your uses, I suggest looking into the Yokohama Geolander G051. They are highly rated over lots of miles and can be had at a very attractive price.
