Hows it going? I have been looking around and this has to be one of the smarter mature forum i visited, but anyways i also have a problem...
I have a '95 toyota 4runner with 75kmiles. My tires are going bald and i need some new ALL-SEASON tires. What im looking for is a better ride and handling, but durability is also an issue so i know i have to forfeit some handling to get it. so where should i start? more specifically what brand should i be looking at, if it makes a difference. I have the optional tire size of 31x10.5-15. TIA, as you can tell i have no idea what to do when it comes to SUV.
The two i have been looking at which was suggested by tirerack was:
Bridgestone Dueler REVO

Yokohama Geolander H/T-S G051

 

There are lots of threads on here about the tires, that being said I just put on REVO's and love them. Search around for more opinions. Hope this helps.

 

Revos! Hands down the best tire I've ever ran.

This subject has been beaten to death on this forum. Search.

 

Wecome to Yotatech ! If u use the search button I'm sure you can find all the info you looking for. There are a ton of tire threads.

If you want an all-season tire, and not an all-terrain, there is only one tire I would consider, the Michelin LTX M/S. I put 72,000 miles on a set, and they weren't even worn out then.

TireRack has reviews of these tires as well.

 

I second the Michelin LTX... but do a search on this site and you will discover a wealth of information on this subject. Welcome to the board and you will find out that !!!

 

My advice would be somewhat different from those above. Does it rain a lot where you live, does it snow? Are you planning to go offroad? - things like that will narrow down the choices of a good tire for you. From your question it sounds like you don't have any specialized needs. For normal everyday driving, "tires is tires." Pick one - it doesn't really matter - that's why there are so many out there... If your budget allows, buy a nice tire like the Michelin, if you're on a tight budget, go to Walmart and get a set of their house-brand tires. For going back and forth to work every day you will never notice any difference. Pick a tire from a manufacturer you think you like, or pick a tread pattern you like, but there is no "brand should you be looking at."

 

jacksonpt has an online tire review guide on his website. search and ye shall find

Ditto on the Deuler Revos, but my guess is that in order for anyone to make a really informed opinion, you need to be more specific about what you want. I'd also follow the advice above and do a search for "tires" on the site, because there are many, many threads that I found helpful when I had the same question as you...

 

Also, Tire Rack has owner reviews on their site, which can be interesting. Read a lot and discount the oddballs...

 

That's some important advice right there!

 

dag talking about bringing a post back from the dead.
well thanks for the inputs and suggestions and after extensive research I have decided to go with the Michelin LTX M/S just because i do any off-roading and since i live in NJ i see bad weather only during the winter, and from what i read, it seems like it will hold up fine.

 

Those are great tires, heard lotsa good things about em.

 

I've had the Michelins and I have the Revo's. Revo's win hands down, bar none. In my humble opinion.
