Let's talk (gasp) passenger-rated tires

[philsey]

Looking for suggestions for new tires.

I am 100% city/highway. Top priority is wet/dry braking, resistance to hydroplaning, quiet. Snow, slush, all weather not important.

Will stay at oem size.

List so far is Continental (running now), and Michelin.

Thoughts appreciated.

Michelin or Goodyear Triple treds.

Michelin LTX, or Blizzak if you live where the weather sucks 100 times more.

I have TripleTreds on my other vehicle and they are AMAZING. Unstoppable in all weather conditions

Got Blizzaks, been trying to sell them, I just stay home if it snows. :thumb3:

Interesting... hadn't considered these.

Thanks.

BURN THE HERETIC :flamethrwoer2:
I'm kidding. Are the stock tires so bad? With as many people that put off road tires on as soon as they buy their trucks, you should be able to swim in them super cheap.

That is what is on my wife's CRV, son's Subaru and daughter's RAV4. They don't go off road and those tires are amazing if you stay on pavement.

On second thought it looks like they aren't available in 4Runner sizes. In that case, they best thing i can say is avoid the Goodyear SR-A tires. Total garbage. We have them on all of our fleet vehicles and they hydroplane all over the place.

Michelin LTX M/S2

I often hear of people getting >100,000 mile out of them.

FULL DISCLOSURE: I am biased since I am a Michelin employee.

I just left Goodyear.com and they list our oem size. Impressive specs.

Then I stand corrected. Those TripleTreds are no joke the best tires I've ever owned on a sedan. Unstoppable. Haven't had them on my 4Runner, but they're outstanding.

BridgestoneDueler Alenza plus. Pirelli scorpion verde plus.

+1.
The Triple treds on my wife's camry have been great.

I have the Bridgestone Dueler Alenza Plus on two of my 4Rs and Firestone Destination LE2 on the other. I have the same Bridgestone on my '11 Tundra. Happy with the handling, noise and wear for both.

I've had the Michelin LTX M/S2 on the Tundra and wasn't one of those guys that was happy with the 43k I got out of them. Ditto (almost) the two sets of Bridgestone Revos (original and the 2) I've run.

FWIW the Alenza Plus has been pretty spectacular for me.

I don't work for B'stone/F'stone. If I did, I couldn't abbreviate the name like this.

Tire Ratings Website

I found this website helpful. There are wear ratings, temperature ratings, and traction ratings.

http://www.safercar.gov/Vehicle+Shoppers/Tires+Rating

A little easier to compare tires. Thought it might be useful to you or someone else. Good luck!

Considering you are 100% pavement, my vote would be Michelins..... can't go wrong there.

My wife's Lincoln Town Car wears them. Can't beat the traction level in any conditions.

YMMV
