Well as with all tires everyone has their own opinion / experiences. I can however say these were the tires that came with my truck when I purchased it, air pressure was fine, and I am not an aggressive driver. Maybe like Goodyear there are good and bad tires in Dunlops line up. I have...

I'm going to chime in on the Dunlop tires when maybe I shouldn't but I had them on my Tacoma and I dumped them as fast as I could. They had horrible traction and wore out quickly. Maybe I just had the wrong one. Just one opinion. As for any AT tire, I've had AT's of different brands on Fords...

More great pictures! I like to look of the 70's. I did a search for GY SA's vs Michelin LTX AT2's which took me back to this site, really nice to see a pic of the GY SA's in the 265/65/17 and they still looked pretty good. Plus that's less likely to effect my mpg's so I'm still thinking that's...

I totally agree on the traction thing. You can find good and bad on all tires. But advice is still a good thing. As for Rook...VEEEEERRRRYYYY Nice! (drool, drool) O.k. where/how & how much for the FJ wheels? I was telling my friend who is pushing me to get new wheels I wished the 4Runner...

Well, I have to say, after checking reviews on the Michelin LTX A/T2's I finally realized something...I am SOOOOO sick of looking at tire reviews I can hardly stand it. I really appreciate the feedback & unless someone can tell me why Michelin's are far superior I think I'm going to order the...

Thanks for all the advice. I started looking for the Goodyear Silent Armor's and no one has them in 265/65/17 where I am. I'm not in Seattle yet but I'll have 3 days to find & get them if I wait. Since I was trying to find a company that's in Anchorage as well it leaves me with Costco & Sears...

Hmmm...maybe I need to look a bit more. The Perelli's do rate #1 on Tire Rack but I just couldn't find enough reviews on them. Gotta say, your pictures make me drool. Can't wait to get to AK & will be there in perfect time to see all the snow. I love driving in that kind of stuff. Just want...

I looked at Pirelli ATR's but wasn't coming up with enough good info. on their snow/ice performance. The winter tire got good reviews but the ATR did not so I decided to steer away from them. If you've had them in AK how long & compared to what other tires (you've had)? I figure if you're...

Thanks for the feedback. I will check out Falls Revo opinions & the Goodyear SA's. I'm don't have a firm opinion on any particular brand except I didn't like the slippage in the rain with my KO's & expect that may be a sign of their traction in snow & on ice. Maybe the Goodyear SA's will be...

I have looked into the Goodyear Silent Armor but heard some rather (not so good) firm opinions on Goodyear tires in general. Maybe they've gotten better? I was turned down for a size change due to the 70's "possibly not working" with the pressure sensor in the wheels by a company I was looking...

I just traded my Tacoma for an 05 4Runner which currently has Bridgestone Revo's. It has 38,000 on it and the Revo's are looking worn (don't know when they were put on). I had BFG KO's on my Tacoma but they tended to slip in the rain. I know 4Runners have the weight in back to maybe solve this...
