    Tire choice struggle.

    I just got toyo MT 255/85/16s for my 97 4runner 4.10 gears automatic. I only got to drive them a few miles as my radiator has given out on me and I have to change it out. I will tell you they are much quieter than the maxxis big horns they replaced. I have a set of street tires in one size...
