With countless threads on "what size for this lift", I haven't seen or can't recall a thread about what tire is best for how one uses their 4Runner. So, hopefully this one can be useful.
I have been reading as much as I can on all the different tires available so I can make a decent decision on what may be best for me. I need some advice.
I daily drive mine, and will possibly see offroad a few times a year.
Daily use consists of about 15 miles a day on county roads with curves and hills. Maybe once a month or so I will be on the interstate doing 75mph. Snow and ice a few times a year that doesn't amount to much.
Offroad consists of mud, rocks, and water.
I need a tire that will clear mud, perform great on the road with rain and snow, net decent mileage, and have a smooth ride.
I currently have duratracs, love them for the 10k they have seen. I just worry about the side wall strength when offroad. Otherwise, it would be a no brainer and I would purchase them again. I am upgrading to 33's.
Currently I am looking at the following:
Goodyear MT/R with Kevlar: worried about longevity and noise, highly recommended in my area for a dual purpose tire.
Hankook Dynapro RT03: people recommend siping for wet roads and ice
Cooper STT: Not enough info found to help with decision
Duratrac: Worried about sidewall strength
BFG TA KO: Offroaders in this area say they aren't great offroad
So, any recommendations? Also, feel free to post what you use and your situations the rig sees. This thread may be really helpful to others. P.S. I don't care how cool and aggressive the tire looks. They are all black, round and hold air. I want function, performance, longevity.
