Need to replace Dunlops NOW!

[Yogi4]

Just returned from one of two 1K high speed runs from Sacto to Lost Valley BSA Camp, CA (near Warner Springs) (including 20 miles of graded dirt trail). Dunlop AT20s were fine in city/suburban and moderate speed highway and on the dirt. But were decidedly uncomfortable on Interstate--didn't seem tied to road as previous experience with Michelin Cross Terrains on other 4Runners I have driven. Mine is an 09 Trail Edition that I use for everything.
My driving is 50% freeway(65-70 limit), 40% other paved (less than 55 limit) and 10% off road (graded dirt, trail and rock). highway (two lane).
I would probably get the C/Ts, but they are not available in the 16" size (replaced by the Latitude Tour), and I don't wish to change wheels, so am leaning toward Michelin LTX MS or A/T2. Knowing that most of my driving will be on paved road --wet handing is important, but only minimal-if any snow (I don't like the cold), would these be good choices? I really don't want an aggresive off-road tire.

Cant go wrong with Michelin IMO, how about Revos? I hear their wet weather handling and grip and unparalleled.

I put the Cooper Discoverer H/T Plus on my wifes 06 limited 4x4 and we really like them tires. Quite, yet they do good in the wet, which all her driving is hard surface no offroad. They handle really good also. Good ride.

goodyear silent armour are good all weather tires & might not be too agressive looking for you, maybe pirelli scorpion at . revos & nittos are great also, just get a tire that fits the way you drive. having had both the revo & gysa, theyre fairly similar all around, good in rain/snow/handling/etc. but the gysa are much quieter & smoother on road/highway. i still have both,( different rims & car). the nittos are great & probably less $. check out tire rack for info/reviews.

Thanks for the advice. Haven't made a final decision yet. Still leaning toward Michelins (Costco pricing).

I went with Geolandar A/T-S and have no issues so far.....

"The Geolandar A/T-S is Yokohama's On-/Off-Road All-Terrain tire developed for jeep, pickup truck and SUV drivers who want tires that combine a bold off-road attitude with a capable on-road aptitude. Geolandar A/T-S tires are designed to deliver long mileage and promote even wear while providing year-round traction, even in snow."
