Help on search for tires

[20034RunnerV84x2]

I know I've already made a thread about this a while back, and I decided to make another with clearer intentions of what I need out of a tire, if that makes sense. I'm mostly looking for a all terrain, no mud tires.

Looks: the tires need to look good. Would also like to have white lettering on the sidewall (preference)

Perform: they need to perform. I need them to do what I need when I need them to do it. Weather it's getting power to the ground to get out of someone's way, or stopping safely because of another person.

Traction: I need good traction on wet, dry, gravel & mud (not much mud, very little)

Comfort: I would like to have a decently quiet tire. Not like the ones on some je*ps that have that extremely loud hum. Some noise is acceptable, but there is a limit to the loudness of them.

Tread pattern: I would like a nice, aggressive look to them.

MPG: I know that I have a 4Runner and it has a V8 so it isn't going to have a great MPG number (and doesn't in the first place) but I don't really want a 2 MPG hit.

I will be keeping the stock size, so hopefully no rubbing problems that require trimming.

So far on my list I have the following:
BFG All Terrain TA KO
Nitto Terra Grapplers
Cooper AT3
Yokohama Geolander HT-S

So please post your recommendation of tires and any local Atlanta people, if you can recommend a good shop with decent prices that knows what they're doing and don't do a sloppy job (scratching the rim) with a good balance and alignment machine, please speak up!

Thank you in advance!

I would look into the General Grabber HTS. I put them on my RAV4 and they performed great in all conditions (snow, wet roads, even took them off road a few times). My sister has it now. The tires still perform well and have plenty of life left with 30k miles on them.

I would go with the Nitto Terra Grapplers. That's what I have on my Tacoma and they are excellent tires. Not to loud, decent off road, and great on the road. They last a long time too, last set got about 50k between me and the last owner. I just ordered a set of Toyo Open Country A/T's for the 4Runner which are basically the same thing as the Grapplers.

Check out onlinetires.com they have good prices and will ship anywhere. I got my set of 4 for $650, but that doesn't include install, which I can do myself, so I saved even more there.

I got the Nitto's on my 07 and my daughter has the Toyo's on her 99, both good tires

I have really been pleased with my BFG Rugged Terrains, over the last year. They look pretty good and ride great on the road. I am debating on going to a larger tire and they are on my list but don't come in the size I am looking at. Plus I would have to sell these first.

All the other tires those guys have mentioned are really good tires as well. They are on my list as well.

Interesting. I'll start looking and doing research on them. So far I really like the nittos and BFG's.

I would go with Toyo open country AT2. They have all of what you need and balance really good. They will be my next tire. The Hankooks I've using for the last 40k miles have been good too.
