Best Tires

If you have or if you are going to buy tires what would be the tire of choice? Based upon a good highway tread with an aggressive look (or as aggressive as a highway tread can be) I'm purchasing them for a 2001 4runner Sport edition with 15's i think.

What are your intentions with the tires?? On-road only, off-road, or combination of both??
 
I have the same question. there is a very good thread about Cooper tires....might try to search that one......

Looks Like for mostly highway and some ice and snow the choices are

Nitto
BFG AT and Revo
Michelin Cross Terrain
Cooper
 
Those are all great tires. I have the BFG AT's and the only downside I see to them is cost, $900 for four, I think a good alternative is the nitto's or toyo's I have always been a big fan of those tires and they are cheaper than the BFG's and not owned by a French company too.
 
ok. I think that I have made a decision for the Revos. Tire Rack and many reviews later seems to point me that way. The Michelin CT is high but the Revos apparently do better on wet/snow...oh just a note..... Remember mon ami the world is a big place and people who live in France and love the culture are everywhere....even here..... =)
 
Revo's do well in rain and ride nice , more of an all season tire than an all terrain.

I dont thing much of them for off road and in snow.

Not a bad tire at all , depending on your needs. Personally I would not buy them again.
 
The Nittos are very solid in the snow and plain 'ol rain but if you don't really off road much then there's better choices.
I've got 20k on my Nittos and they show very minimal wear considering my agressive cornering style. Definetly better than BFGs on the pavement and in the snow and cost a couple hundred less out the door.
 
Have U considered the Yokahama Geolander A/T?

Just started researching tires for my 04 and ran across these. They are rated about the same as the revos with a H (130 mph) speed rating and a 112 capacity (130 lbs more than revo @ 2469 lbs).

I think they are relatively new.

They can be compared at 1010tires.com

Just additional information...

Personally I did look at the Geolanders at Americas Tire yesterday here in Sactown. They look good, highly recommended and about $130.00 per tire....I do keep hearing that the Revos do well in winter driving then I hear that the Nittos and Coopers are awesome....at this point research is a bit confusing..........:confused:
 
Toyo Open Country A/T

After spending some time researching everything that's available in a tire, I chose the Toyo Open Country A/T. Tire looks great, aggressive tread for off-roading, yet very smooth handling on the highway. I also took the time to invest in four black 17"x9" black Helo rims. The truck looks great.

Do you have pics ? would love to see what it looks like. What size tire did you go with ?
 
Toyo Open Country A/T

I haven't tried them in the snow as I run my OEM alloy rims with Toyo Open Country snow tires (they run excellent in Canadian winter).

As for the wet weather, the Open Country A/Ts are also excellent. Here's a pic of the tires on the rims.
