Best Tires for Toyota 4runner

My wildpeaks are going on 60k miles with no signs of needing to be replaced anytime soon. All I've done is maintain consistent airing, adjusting for summer and winter and rotate/balance every 8-10k. I'm willing to bet I get 100k miles out of them safely with plenty of tread left.

Thank you. Excellent tire. 5K in and loving them.

Cool Cool…thanks for the feedback. Got AT3W 285’s on 2nd gen. Tacoma last year. Went to do the same with our 4Runners last month and had to go AT4W’s 285’s. Had them for short time but as you said …”tires are amazing” Nice rig OP!

I agree, have had mine on for about 8,000kms and gone through the summer and recently 30cm of snow and -30C temps. Recently rotated and all tires wore evenly with proper alignment done from the start.

I typically run Nokian Hakka LT3 for winter but wanted to try these out this season to see how they compare to my previous experience with KO2.

Agree with everything OP has mentioned, but sub -20C you can really feel the performance drop compared to dedicated winters.

In short, these tires are amazing!

Pros:

- For being AT tires, they're very quiet. Yes I know AT tires get louder as they get worn out, but these have been excellent so far on dry highway.

- They're excellent in rain, no hydroplaning.

- They're excellent in snow.

- They're excellent off-roading.

- Tires look beefy! Give the 4R an aggressive look.

- I got C-load, no need for E-load as I don't do hardcore stuff like in the west.

Cons:

- As expected with most AT tires, they're heavy, but nig enough to make the 4R any slower.

- Even though they are stock size, they're bigger than the stock Dunlops in every dimension. The beefy outer knobs rubbed at full lock when reversing so had to trim the bottom bumper by grinding it down and also a bit on the inside liner.

I have 265 rubitrek on my 4runner now. Absolutely no complaints about them. I drove to Moab from NY with them even encountered some snow on the way, they did awesome

I only put Michelin defenders on my Highlander and 4runner and we use the 4runner to go to the Hunt land, gravel roads going into rutted dirt roads, forest service roads when going fishing, no issues at all.

I dailied +0 sized duratracs on a stock 2007 4runner for a few years. At 40psi and they were great in just about everything on weekends. But I hated them on damp pavement (concrete highway specifically on big turns at speed felt like they wanted to slip)

I now have the nittos that came with the 4Runner and absolutely hate them.

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.
