My Experience
I posted this in the Engines / Suspension / Wheels / Tires / Audio / Accessories forum but guessing most in the 5th gen forum won't see it. It looks like I'm not alone based on two of the previous posts in this thread.

The experience I have had with these General Grabber ATX tires has easily been the worst I’ve ever had with any tire purchase, and I have bought a lot of tires for a lot of vehicles. With the initial mounting and balancing (on brand new 17” TRD rims), the Toyota dealer that installed them...
Limited Tires for Sale (245/60R20 Bridgestone Dueler HT 684II)
These tires are coming off my 2018 Limited next week and being replaced with 17s. They have just under 30K miles with no punctures or damage. I am keeping the rims in case I decide to switch back or need them for resale or trade...
Fixed
I have an ’18 Limited which had the same issue on both sides (never had a hint of this with the ’14 Limited). There were several trips to the dealer so that a Toyota engineer (FTS) could examine it. Based on my many trips to the dealer for this and the experience of others who have the...
Updates?
Are there any more updates on the revo 3? There are only 12 reviews of them on tire rack. I am ready to buy tires to mount on 17s and I’m down to these and the continental terraincontacts, which have a lot of good reviews. I had the original revos and the revo 2 on my first 4R with...
Exactly. Real world driving has little to do with printed performance figures. If someone in the lane next to you wants to stomp on it to prove a point, chances are they are driving something way faster than a 4Runner or GX. Regardless, I've been around long enough to know to not get...
I didn't do that at all. I mentioned a stereotypical response to drivers of premium branded vehicles, not my viewpoint. Hell, I owned one, so you have utterly no reason to be offended. Move on.
You’re both right. I can go on for days about the differences, and I’ve responded to PMs previously about this, but I don’t want to bore everyone with an essay. At the same time, I don’t want anyone to feel like I am bashing their vehicle.
Just a few stand-out items from my perspective...
OP, or anyone who is considering both vehicles and is on the fence, send me a PM if you want feedback from someone who has owned both a current model GX and two ‘14 + 5th gen limiteds. I am not willing to post my opinion on this here because I have no interest in getting involved in a which is...
Thank you for posting...decision made. I'm getting these before next winter. I figure I might as well get 12K miles or so out of the 684s that came with mine since spring is in sight. My guess is that other tire companies might manufacture ATs in this size if they sell…there will be at least...
Simpletire and tirebuyer have them as well. I have never dealt with either company, but they should be okay.

Thanks for checking! I guess the Toyo rep I spoke to just threw out a guess of January. Most places cannot get these tires and are completely unaware of them. Would you be willing to post a couple pics?
There is no question that the 17" wheels and corresponding tire size are better for off-road use. The Toyos might be a good compromise tire though, especially for those of us in areas where we might encounter deep snow and pothole-ridden roads, but do not venture off-road with any regularity...
