Toyota 4runner parts reviews

I have a Finnish tire called Nokian outpost at/s and they work pretty damn well, have size 32s on a stock 3rd gen 4Runner and I went up to wheel in about 2 feet of snow last year about 5 or 6 times and only got stuck once in a deep snow drift on a hill. I’ve had no issues with them especially since they were 550 installed so not bad if you can get them and are on a budget, I think there are better options but for the price these have been almost flawless other than they are wearing a little faster then a expensive tire would, but that’s par for the course.

Do not go OEM. At a minimum, put on Bilstein 5100 shocks at stock height and improve ride and lessen nose dive on braking. I got a set of 4 last year for my son's 1999 3rd gen and paid $300 for install $400 for parts. We used the stock 99 tall springs. I put 5100 shocks on my 2011 and lifted the front 2" and put trd springs on the back to level. Way better off road and firmer on road.

I found a dealership that sells the Toyota oem at 5.90 a quart so that’s what I use. It’s made by Mobil 1 but has certain additives added specifically for Toyota specifications that regular Mobil 1 doesn’t have. Technically it’s what the 4Runner will run best with.

I have Kumho Crugen on my 4runner. But I am very happy with these tires. No road noise at all.

Akebono have always served me well. Felt slightly better than OEM IMO. I’ve also tried EBC Greenstuff’s…brake feel was just ok and they wore very quickly (less than 20k miles).

I 2 late 90s four runners and ran them to 280000 on the original timing belts then I sold them and they still where running fine.

I just put Falken Wildpeak A/T3W's on my 4Runner last week and I am really surprised as to how quiet they are. I'm not noticing any appreciable noise over the original stock tires (Bridgestone) they replaced.

I run Panasonic in ours, so far so good.

I tried k02s (c rated) and took them off a day later. The t4r is a slug on stock tires, and I really felt the added weight and ride were horrible. I went to nitto terra grappler g2s I’m stock size SL..gave me the AT look I was going for without adding unnecessary weight and ride characteristics.

I just bought these to replace the broken ones on my 98. Like you I thought it was a solid deal and they are a little bigger than the factory ones. They will not fit on the same bracket the factory ones were mounted on. The mounting point is on the bottom vs the back like the OEMs and the additional size makes it impossible.
