07 4runner Sport Edition Tire Suggestions?!

[jenjen]

I am looking for tires for my 07 sport edition 4runner. I live in Ohio, so I need them to be all weather. I also wanted to give the truck a "hot" look by adding a little bigger tire. How big can I go without adding a lift kit? I did some research and came across really good reviews on the Michelin LTX M/S2 tire. Does anyone have any suggestions? They are little pricey, so if anyone has any cheaper but just as good suggestions that would be great. Also, I know nothing about tires or vehicles so any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jen

In stock form 265/70/17 would be your best bet, just be aware that you could loose about.5 to 1mpg.

BF Goodrich All Terrains. Even the standard tire size (265/65/17) looks great and provides a rugged look while still giving you a quiet highway ride. You don't lose much if any MPG and they are just bada** IMO.

Here is some pics of mine with them on:

Pending on how much you wanna spend. I got the Yokohama Geolandar A/T-S 265/65/17s for $600 (installed, balanced, and insured for life of each tire). They also come with 265/70/17s for a cheaper price. Bought it @ Discount Tire. But that was about 3 yrs ago and i still have about 60-70% tread left.

how would you say the handling is with the A/T KO's compared to the stock Dunlops? I've had them on my old XJ, but that thing handled like crap, so it's hard to make a comparison.
