I am changing my tires for my 06 Runner Sport. What tires would you recommend other than the stock/Dunlop tires??? thanks

I have an '07 Sport and sized up to Good Year Wrangler Silent Armors. Great tires.

Might also look at Nokians if you live in the snowy areas.
 
I just got a set of Nitto Terra Grapplers 265/75/16.
They are awesome!! I love them! :biggri

No more BFGs for me.
 
What about Goodyear Wrangler SR-A's?? Those seem to be the only tires I can find for my 4Runner at Wally World(Walmart) in Rapid City. I wish Uniroyal made Destination A/T's for the 4Runner as I have those on my 99 Dodge Ram and are GREAT!
 
I got the Nitto Terra Grapplers in the 265/70R17 size. Here is picture pre-lift with these tires.

and here is a picture post lift with spidertrax spacers installed. By the way I really like these tires. The recommended tire pressure is 34 PSI for the P rated version of this tire.

I'm thinking you're going to get recommendations all over the board with this questiion. It would be a lot easier if you told us what you were really looking for in a tire, the type of driving you do the most with this vehicle, suspension configuration (now and future), and where you live... Beyond that, I'd go on to Tire Rack's website and see what's available

how long did the destination a/ts last on your Ram? What size were they do you remember? Would you consider putting them on your runner?


Oh yea, I have used stock bridgestone 840s for 40k mi and then Mich cross terrains for 30k since then - Mich are superior and a great street tire. Almost impossible to get to hydroplane and are very quiet. But it all depends on your driving conditions/style/needs. Give answers to those questions and you'll get better responses.

I have LT265 70 R16 tires for the Ram. I got them about a year ago and still have lots of tread on em. EXCELLENT traction anywhere and ride down the road nicely. Takes like 50 lbs of air to fill them. They would not fit on my 4Runner as I have 17 inch rims.
 
What about the best car handling type of tire? I use my 4runner for suburban/urban duty only.

I do like the Yoko Geolanders on it right now. Visually nice looking as well. Sporty and square.
 
michelin cross terrains... may cost a bit more, but i dont think you'll find a better all around tire. they will also last a long time... 50k+ miles.
 
thanks for all your responses.... I live in VA and do not do off road driving with my runner, I use it primarily for daily commuting. I am just looking for a good quality tire that works best on rain and snow. btw, I am about 55K with the stock tire...hehehe...

X2, great tire. Had them through the winter w/ ABSOLUTLY no problems, very quiet and comfortable on road with good cornering (well I have the XREAS) and very good in the soft sand on the outer beach when I air down to 18psi. I would definitly recommend. Just a great all around tire.

X3 on the Michelin Cross Terrains then. It's what I have on my truck and they are very nice.
 
+1 on the Michelin Cross Terrains. I replaced my stock Dunlops about a month ago and have been very pleased. The difference handling on wet pavement is noticable.

I also vouch for the Michelin cross terrains. I had them on my '04 runner and as soon as these bridgstone HT duelers go out on my current '08 Urban Runner, I'm going back to the Cross Terrains. Fantastic tires for city/highway and some one-off terrains. Very quiet and soft. Probably not going to be very good for alot of mud or off-roading though.
 
OK I never post in the 4th gen forum but since just got new tires I figured I would share. The are a fairly new tire, Good Year Wrangler Duratrac 265-75-16. They are pretty close to a Mud Terrain but are super quiet on the street. I had the Good Year Silent Armour's before and these aren't much louder.
