Tires and Shocks for Sport

Hey all,

Just got back from a year deployment and it's time to do some upgrades/replacements on the 4runner.

I'd like to hear any suggestions on tires - for now, it will probably not see offroad for at least a couple more years. I do like the look of an offroad tire, but want something that will last with city/highway miles. Really have no idea of what to run. I had a Duramax that I ran the Nitto Terra Grapplers - they seemed to hold up well on such a heavy truck, and rode pretty well. Don't need anything that aggressive looking, but just as a comparison.

Second, my XREAS are showing signs of a couple leaks. I don't think the ride quality is bad now, but I really have nothing to compare to. If I remember correctly, most have replaced the XREAS with Bilstein's (5100's IIRC), and I'm just curious if I should replace them and loose the XREAS system or ride out the XREAS system a little longer before replacing them.

I just upgraded to Michelin LTX2s, FJ Coils and 5100s and I am completely back in love with my 4runner. The tires aren't very aggressive looking but based on reviews here on t4r they seem to be a really high mileage tire which is what I was shooting for.
 
Welcome home!

I just picked up a set of Cooper Discoverer AT3s today.

55k mile mild but tough AT tire. Great reviews, top rated by Consumer Reports (not sure what that's worth these days) and Made in America.

$767 installed at Discount Tire. They price matched the cost from the local Swiss tire. Michelins are well over a grand.

Look nice. Ride is quiet.

One of many good reviews:

And...Made in America.
