Off-Road Tires

[CaptainOats25]

I want to get some off-road tires for my 94 4Runner, kind of like these tires here on these 4Runners....

Maybe only 33 inches though. How much do these kind of tires cost and how long do they last?

Those are SuperSwamper Thornbirds in the first link...and BFG Mud Terrains in the second.

Thornturds suck in the mud...and pretty much anywhere else off road. They wear bad on the road and are loud too.


I would go with the BFG's, or any similar tire. They wear very well, and have excellent traction off road.

All depends on your intended use. I assume your rig is a daily driver and if that is the case, then I would definately stay away from a bais type tire as they always flat spot and then rattle your teeth loose until they heat up again (not to mention the noise level on pavement!). A radial type tire will offer you a much better ride/ handling and they will last longer. If you do alot of "off-pavement" driving, then tell us what kind of terrain do you encounter most. If you like to play rough in the mud or rocks, then go with an aggressive tread pattern, if your more into hard-pack dirt trails and sandy beaches, then you are better off with a more mild tread pattern, such as an "all-terrain" tire. If you don't do much street driving, then by all means, go for the gold with a purpose oriented bais or "belted" tire. A 4-Runner with 33's is a very capable yet streetable setup. Just make sure you can fit them first, before laying out the cash to buy them. If your rig is currently stock height, you will need a mild lift to clear those 33's.
