:hello:
I bought a 1996 4Runner Limited about a year ago and have been lurking on this site ever since. I'm from Coastal Mississippi but am going to school at Mississippi State University in north-east Mississippi for Industrial and Systems Engineering. So far the fact that my T4R is so old and has over 230000 miles on it has been giving me monthly crash courses in auto repair.
I'm about to have to replace the off-road tires the previous owner put on the truck. I am putting all-terrains on as replacement because I do mixed asphalt/off-road driving. My family has always run Goodyear Wranglers (most recently SR-A, I believe) on our twelve passenger vans because they provided the best traction and tread-life, but I have found the ones on the vans to be somewhat lacking in off-road traction. I was looking at putting Goodyear Duratracs on my 4Runner, but they are expensive. What are everyone's thoughts about what tires to put on?
I do asphalt/off-road but my off-road is mostly confined to sand or gravel roads because I don't know of any place I can go play. Oh, and the tire the previous owner put on are 285/75/16, so that is the replacement size I'm getting until I can afford new rims.
As I bought it, I have done no mods yet. As soon as I can afford it though ...
