Please suggest new tires

[bate181]

I have a 2001 4runner as a daily driver. I will be needing new tires soon and what better place to ask than here. 95% of my driving is on street, with some very mild off road driving a few times a year. Anyone else under similar parameters and what do you suggest?

Mild off roading like what? Fire roads once or twice a year to go camping or hiking? Are you 4WD? Lots of info here if you search a bit. Lots and lots of info on tires.

Michelin LTX M/S2, Toyo Open Country H/T. Excellent on-road tires that ride smooth, and are quiet. They do well in dry, wet, and off-roading that doesn't involve lots of mud.

Both do decently in snow, due to all the siping and sharp edged tread blocks, but they aren't snow tires.

They don't have aggressive looks, if that matters to you.

I bought mine from DiscountTireDirect and had free shipping. I went with the Faulken Rocky Mountain 285/75/16 and really like them. We just got back from a trip to southern Utah and in countered snow, ice, rain, and sticky red clay.

Hankook Dyanapro ATM, Cooper Discoverer AT3, Nitto Terra Grappler, BF Goodrich Rugged Terrain. They are all good tires and would work good for you. I'm running the Hankooks and they look good, are quiet so far. I have also owned the Coopers and the Nittos on my previous Tacomas and liked them as well. Discount tire direct is great to deal with. They have free shipping and in my dealings with them, customer service is great if you have any issues. Home - Discount Tire Direct

Exactly, nothing serious. I'm usually in mammoth twice a year to fish, so they most likely won't see snowy conditions. 2 wd. Alright I'll keep searching, just looking for latest opinions

The Michelin LTX At tire is a good tire, I had those on my 2wd Tundra when I had it. I got lots of miles out of them too.

General grabber AT2

They are one of best affordable all around AT tires.

They are super quiet on the road yet work great on dry pavement, sand, rain, snow.

You can buy them at Discount Tire. My 33s were only $170 / tire.

Check out my thread for pictures of them in action.

What you need are some expensive mud terrains.

Super Swampers for sure!

In all seriousness, I went with Firestone Destination A/It's and I have similar driving driving reqs. ............okay, maybe a little more if I can ever escape this evil beltway.

X2 on the Rocky Mountains. I've had them over a year, and they gone through every terrain possible. They're cheaper than some others, and have a 50k warranty.

I have the Cooper at3's now on my 3rd gen and they've been great....had the Michelin m/s2's before and for the price the at3's will be going on our 4th gen when tires get replaced
