I had these tires on my 4Runner, and they were ok, but I did not like the wear pattern and also the tires seemed to be hard to balance? I was always at the garage getting these tires balanced in between rotations.

Hi there, yes my 4Runner is the 4x4. I do put it in 4wd when snow covers the road. I can honestly say that I was not very happy with the wear or performance in wet conditions with any of those three tires I mentioned. I will say that all of them rode nicely and were pretty quiet, but when...

What surprised me most about the Firestone Destination AT, Cooper Discoverer AT3, and Kelly Safari ATR is the fact that they wore quickly and none of them performed well at all in the snow. They all ride nice and are not too noisy, but I did not feel secure with them in light snow. From a...

2008 SR5 4Runner. So far aside from the OEM's, I had Firestone Destination AT, Cooper Discoverer AT3, and Kelly Safari ATR. I must say that I only got 25K out of these before replacement. Could have pushed another thousand or two, but not with winter coming. All of these were not the best on...

Thanks again! Last winter did not have much use for 4WD, but the first time I tried to use it I had a tough time getting it to engage. I think it was from not using it. Since then, at least one a month whenever it rained or snowed, I made a point to engage it once or twice. This winter I had...

Thanks for the info! Yeah, I do have that card on my visor but forgot all about it. Sorry.

This pertains to 4L. I remember reading that to engage 4L you must be in 4H first and then stop the vehicle, put in neutral then engage 4L. My question is, what do you need to do when you want to go back to 4H from 4L? What is the correct procedure? Thanks!

Hey guys/gals, thanks for all of your help on this question! I mistakenly left my backdoor opened all night while parked inside my garage, forgot to close it after I was cleaning the inside of the car the night before. Next morning found it and the inside dome light stayed on the whole night...

Thanks for the replies! Which of these sizes is the same as the original battery, 24F or 27F? What is the main difference between these two?

2008 V6 SR5 4Runner. Looking for a replacement battery. Looking for something that will be the same size as the OEM and fit like a glove without any modifications? Live in northeast PA and winters are a bit on the cold side so looking for something that will stand up in the cold when needed...

Basically, in the end it appears that he paid regular price for the tires and the buy 3 get one for a dollar was just your typical sales scam that fools the consumer into believing they are getting a good deal.

After two years of driving, the tires are not worn out where they will not pass inspection by any means, but the grip on wet and snow covered roads is sub par. I would rather spend the money for new tires and feel confident, than try to get through a winter and get lucky.

I've been reading many good things about the Cooper AT3 tire. There are several dealers near me. They are about $170 per tire installed and am considering these also. I really don't take the 4runner off road at all. I do all city/highway driving. However, here in NE PA there are several...

Thanks for the input! Alot of people seem happy with the LTX MS/2's as a top notch all around tire. They are a bit more than I want to spend, but I guess you get what you pay for?

2008 4Runner SR5 265/65/17. Every two years at the beginning of winter I put new tires on my vehicle because at this point they are starting to wear. Its coming to that time again. Looking for a tire that is quiet, but will provide good traction when it is wet or when roads get snow covered...
