I'm in the market for new tires for my 1999 4Runner and my wifes 1998 4Runner. I want a good handling tire, and a tire that has good traction in rain and in snow. I don't go off road very often.

Here is what I'm looking at:
Michelin LTX M/S; Cooper Discoverer ATR; Goodyear Wrangler RT/S.

Does anyone drive any of these tires? What is your opinion? Is there another tire should consider? Can anyone give me some advice?

Any help would be GRATLY appreciated

Thanks

 

I don't ever really look into A/T tires, but there are two that are pretty popular that you haven't mentioned. First is the Bridgestone Dueler Revo, though kind of expensive, people who own them live by them religiously. Second is the Yokohama A/T + II. I've heard a lot of good things about these tires. They're fairly inexpensive. One thing I've heard from one person is that they are kind of loud...?? Just thought I'd give you some mental chow.

 

hbunten, I know tires. Keggo was on with the Bridgestone Revo's ($157.00 range). You should also concider the Revo's sister tire ( my experience a better tire ), and cheaper, would be the Firestone Destination A/T ($110.00 range). A great tire with enough tread to get you through anything you might come across, without getting too far off the road. But still a quiet, sure ride on the pavement. I'm in Michigan with alot of different driving conditions. It's been one of the best daily drivers for me. I have run all of the Yokohamas too. If you are strickly on pavement, the YOKOHAMA H/T-S G051 ($88.00 range) would be the best value for you. Lastly, the Michelin LTX M/S ($142.00 range) is a great tire, and has more tread depth to start with than the others. And remember, ALWAYS rotote your tires every 6 to 7,000 miles! This is a quick response. Price refers to 31X10.5R15LT tire size. If you have any other tires you question, let me know. Happy Trails, T

 

The Dunlops that came on my wife's 2005 4Runner were so good that we bought the same tires again. They held on in dry pavement without protesting, they always rolled smoothly on the highway, they never hydroplaned in the rain even when the tread got worn down, and they lasted 70,000 miles. I have not had a chance to try the tires in the snow since we live in GA, but what more could you ask for in a tire, right?

We payed about $550 with alignment at Kauffman Tires.
Dunlop Grandtrek AT20 265/65-17
Available in blackwall or white letter

We went with the blackwall again, and I have seen these tires on Sequoias as well as factory installed tires.

 

70k miles is real good, wow.
