I've seen this asked a lot bet haven't seen many comparisons for offroad use. Looking at getting a 3rd or 4th gen 4runner. No towing just daily driver, offroad everyday, mostly soft sand, dirt, gravel, small rock climbing. I plan to leave stock suspension, stock size buckshot mudders...

Thanks for the detailed input. Was considering these until you mentioned the poor deep sand performance, deal breaker for me. I did get the maxxis buckshot 764s and are beast at rock crawling. They feel gummy almost like a slick or drag radial. They are better at floating than lighter street...

265X70R17C Very happy with them so far. They are the answer to toyota limiting its consumers to a 17 inch tire since it is the only non directional mud terrain (I know of) in that size in a load range C. Yokohama Geolander is another 6 ply available in that size and was my second choice...

I ended up going with maxxis buckshot 764 265X70R17C and am very pleased with their performance in the sand.

I didn't find examples of mud tires in that link but I admit only glancing over it. I got the gist that they were talking primarily about lifting a truck. No, not tractor tire. An example would be like the 32x10.5x16c gateway buckshot mudder I mentioned above, which to my knowledge is not a...

Looking for as many examples of real bias ply mud tires. Not the typical bfg or other mainstream stuff. The type of tire not recommended for street driving. Such as gumbo monster mudders, ground hawgs, gateway buckshot mudders, etc. Especially if anyone knows of one that makes 265x70r17 or...

Can you provide me real mud tire brands please? Many of the ones you mentioned have been discontinued. I am seriously upset right now that there is a gateway buckshot mudder available is 32x10.5x16 bias ply. That would have been the tire to make my 4runner a lady in the streets and a freak in...

Thanks for the suggestion. It's not just the atrac and elocker I want to take advantage of. The 4runner had awesome articulation and gearing. Going with a bigger tire would hamper that.

Also thanks for telling me about the real mudders you mentioned. The gumbo monsters were made by gateway. I found gateway, like maxxis, ironically makes a buckshot mudder as well. That would have been the tire for me. In the available 31x9.5x15C bias ply the 4runner woulda been in beast...

Tire* Too wide a tire*

Most noticeable to the naked eye, yes. Careful with too much side bulge or too wide a ride as both can often increase the risk of puncture to the sidewall.

What's the reasoning behind same psi front and rear? Not meaning to argue or nothin just that I figure the back has the advantage of going lower since it's not a steer. Therefore increasing the footprint even more which would be especially helpful on an incline such as when climbing a dune...

Thanks. I did look into these and was close to pulling the trigger. But the load range E did me in. Again, there are - some - options in 265x70r17; however, there are few and mostly in E range. While the exact same tire can be found in 15 and 16 but also in ranges c, d, and e.

I do understand the trend in increasing wheel diameter. It's easy to see. In the 80s every vehicle had an ratio of 70 probably. Now, for safety and aesthetic reasons we are trending towards bigger rims. However when offroading I'd still prefer a bigger aspect ratio and would not consider a 17...

I'm thinking I can run the back lower since they are not steering the vehicle?
