Bump!

^^^^^^^^^

What's the verdict?

I am currently looking for the most agressive off-road tire tread that will work on my stock 18"x7.5" 4Runner wheels. If it matters, I previously installed the Daystar 1.25" front spacers to simply level the stance.

Lol, I started this thread over 2 years ago!

I went with the Cooper STTs. They have over 40k trouble-free miles on them and they still have a lot of tread left.

Age of the thread is the reason I bumped it. :) Was hoping some tire company may have possibly added to their size offerings in the more aggressive treads since then.

I really appreciate you sharing your other thread with the pics. I had seen it several months ago, but paid no attention to the author. Although I don't want to get into the additional work, you have done a very fine job with yours. If I could buy that same Cooper STT in a size that would fit without such drastic measures, I wouldn't hesitate a moment to fork out the cabbage.

Thanks again for the response.
 
Sounds like it is time to start hitting the manufacturers websites to see what sizes they offer in 18"!
 
Everybody (and myself included) love the BFG A/T KO but I have personally seen work trucks (natural gas industry - so the miles are hard) run the discoverer stts and have good treadwear at even 70k and love them so my vote goes to them.

Good to hear. I have well over 50k on my STTs now and they still look great!

Re: two year old post :)!
My 285/65/18 Nitto Terra Grapplers look great and still have about 75% tread at 30k.- I had one sidewall rupture from a wooden stake (someone must have been hunting vampires where I was off-roading- 4 wheel parts replaced it free under warranty)

(EDIT) @ RedKnuckles- I'm running KMC 775 Rockstars though -sure they're not width or spacing offset of stock rims.

I need some new tires and will be getting a 3/2 cornfed lift, I was wondering if the size 265/70r18 will fit without any rubbing I know 265/65r18 does but the 265/70 is an inch larger in diameter and can get a really good deal on some general grabber at2 which i currently have on my tundra and love them.
 
I know I sound like a broken record whenever I post about tires here, but I'm a fan of the Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo 2 and recently put a stock sized set on my '06 Ltd. They're quiet, imo they look great, and they balance really well and also exhibit good tread wear (at least my previous set did, these are too new to say one way or another). I get absolutely no wheel shake or vibration at any speed and they've proven themselves to be extremely sure-footed in snow. Admittedly I don't do much off-roading in my 4th gen but I used to take my 3rd gen off-road and they performed well there, too.

Here are a few pics I snapped this morning to give you an idea of how they look mounted. To reiterate, these are 265/60 R18's:

Here's a side view. Don't mind the dog, she somehow manages to wander into about 80% of the pictures I take:

Again, these tires are quiet, they balance perfectly, look pretty aggressive, and perform well on both dry and wet roads, in snow, and off-road. Plus, they're only $180 each on Tire Rack right now.

One last gratuitous shot of my baby:

FIRST POST!! Hey guys! GREETINGS! I've been on this site a million times and finally pulled the trigger and registered. Wanna start by thanking everyone for all the great info and pics and glad to be a member here at T4R.org.

I have the Yoko/Geo AT and they ride nice. I put them on before I installed my cornfed 2/1. They have very minimal road noise for an AT with all windows up or down and have a nice aggressive look. I have put about 35K+ road miles on them (and some off-road of course). They are rated very well (8.2/10) at tirerack.com. Would highly recommend this tire and will buy again.
