Those do look like a good alternative.
I emailed "ask Toyota" requesting a swap, whose up to signing a petition?

Am I wrong to point out that the Sequoia has a 5 on 150 bolt pattern that won't work on the 4Runner.
There are actually 2 tires which will fit. The rim size is 20x7 by the way. The first tire, which I recommend & installed on my Limited is the Continental CrossContact LX20 275-55-20. The manufacturer states that they fit a 7" rim width. The other is the General Grabber UHP 275-55-20.ive been asking all over this forum, and still no answers. can the 20 inch rims on the limited handle 275/55 profile tires? Anyone know how wide they are. (most of the toyota rims are 7.5 inches wide i believe, and I ? if that would accomodate 275 wide tires). thanks

Continental CrossContact LX20
I purchased these tires some time ago after researching possible alternatives for the stock tires. Consumer Reports rates these tires #1 in their Nov 2011 tire review (tied with the Michellin LTX M/S2 as the best overall SUV all-season tire). Tire Rack also rates them highly. Don't confuse these with the CrossContact LX tires that are not rated quite as well. They are not an offroad or winter tire. As mentioned, they have a 70k mile warranty and a 1 year road hazard warranty.
Since the diameter is about 0.3" larger and the circumference is about 1" longer than the OEM tires, the speedometer is off by roughly 1%. Insignificant especially considering that eventual wear will bring the speedometer reading ever closer to the factory calibration. There is no rubbing in either direction (forward/reverse, left/right). I purchased them from a Ford dealership where they match any advertised price including online.
There is a noticable improvement in handling with these tires. They are quieter and smoother than the OEM Bridgestones. Steering feedback is stiffer and less numb. The ride is more planted and solid. Braking and cornering are also improved. They are noted for the wet weather performance. No issues with balancing. I have not noticed any change in fuel economy although I seldom check mpg's. They are the single, biggest improvement in driving performance I have experienced.
zepjet/jcatan3,
Would either of you be so kind to post a straight-on shot from the front/back to get an idea of the stance/width of the tire compared to stock 245s? It's still a 7" rim but I'm sure the 275s will look better, just perhaps not as beefy as say on an 8" rim.
Thanks!

Sure. I'm out of town but will post photos next week. The Conti's are about the same width as the OEM mudflaps. They would be wider on an 8" rim.
Still waiting for the pics - :hungry:
These are KMC 20x9, with 275/55/20....no rubbing, seems to be a nicer ride. I'm happy with the fatter footprint...:thumb3:
Very nice brother, which KMC's? Not from the XD line i take it?
Found them, they are the "Skitch" and they come in black!!! Anyone have them in black on a white truck?
Sorry for the slow response. Here's a couple photos...

Do you or Anyone on this post know if these rims are off orated rater or capable?
Thanks for the pics. If you get the chance take some pics from the back but so that we could see the whole vehicle.
Still thinking I'll go with the CrossContact LX20's and keep the stock rims,..but those KMC wheels that Renegad44 put on his LE look mighty sexy.
