I was kind of surprised the Nitto Grappler AT's cost less than the SilentArmors. Maybe they are worth a look over anything else? I haven't heard much about them from people...

Man... there is definitely not an 100% AT tire that everyone agrees is amazing! HaHa... A lot of it depends on people's experiences, weather, region, ect... But, I think there are a good handful of tires that make the top 5 or so... Since the grabbers at2 are backordered 6-8 weeks.. I will...

Awe crap! Many of you got my hopes up for the Grabber AT2's and every single seller that I looked at online is now backordered.... Not sure if I can wait the 6-9 weeks! But maybe they are worth the wait if they're better than many of the other ATs!?

Thanks for all of the feedback... I really wanted to give the Grabber AT2 a shot.. but TireRack has them on back order and said it might be 8-10 weeks before they arrive. By then, winter would be over. HaHa. Maybe I will take a look at other sellers.... Anyone have any advice on another AT tire...

Thanks for the input.. looks like everyone has had good luck with the Grabber AT2. So, I think that's what I will go for. My current Dean SXT Mud Terrains do fine in the warm weather... but suck horribly on slick roads. So, I might as well go with a all around tire since I dont off-road that much.

I saw that... That is why I am going to go with 265/70/16 tire. It is the "recommended" size for my 4Runner anyways. And this size comes in a lighter ply and comes with the snowflake severe weather stamp.

So... I am looking for a good all around a/t tire for my 4Runner. I have narrowed it down between the Grabber at2 or GY SilentArmor. Mainly because they both have decent reviews and have the snowflake/mountain symbol that states they are "good"/legal for winter traction. The Grabbers are about...

Thanks very much everyone for all the feedback... I have some mixed reviews/ideas on everything too. It all depends on the situation, driver, ect.... Mainly, I know that these mud terrains I have now suck on ice/packed snow. I can go as slow as 10 mph and slowly stop at a stop sign and they will...

I second that... these dumb SXT haven't done much for me in the winter.. I know I will be happy with these winter tires. The only thing is that we usually drive my girlfriends car with winter studded tires during the winter - since it gets better gas mileage. And the 4runner does mainly in town...

Thanks for the input.. on most winters I would like to try these studless winter tires.... I can't seem to tell if my 4runner just sucks on packed snow/ice or if it's these SXT Mud Terrains.... I think I would like to got with Goodyear's DuraTracs. They seem to have good reviews for an...

Hello, So, I recently order a set of "MichelinLatitude X-Ice Xi" winter tires. I currently am running Les Schwab's Dean SXT Mud Terrains (which they claim work great in the winter, but I have had bad experiences with them). I am down in Klamath Falls, Oregon and we tend to have a 50/50 winter...

Hello, I know there are 100 tire questions on here... my 4Runner recommends 265/70/16 tires... It is currently running 265/75/16 Mud Terrain tires. Les Schwabs claims these mud terrain are great in the snow. But it feels like I am a hockey puck when its slick. I found a set of studded tires...

Hello, I have a 1999 4Runner. I am having a lot of issues with sliding when I am on icy roads (even in AWD). I am currently using Dean Mud Terrain tires from Les Schwabs. My girlfriends little Toyota Yaris seems to out perform mine! Although she does have studded tires. Is it just a common...

I just changed one of my rear axle shafts out in my 1999 4runner. I had to switch over the brakes and everything. Now, I am having an issue with the brake light on. I filled it back up with brake fluid. I have attempted to cleed the brakes, however it does seem to pump up to pressure anymore...

haha. Oh yes. Just the axle shaft. I thought there was something crucial I was missing for a second. So... after I get the axle, am I going to have to pay a shop to switch out the bearings and ABS ring, ect?
