Re: Tire Recommendations Please.

if you keep stock size, milage wont be significant, road noise depends on the tread design and void ratio of the tire, and life depends on the type of tire and hardness. if you want something that is good in the snow, wet, and road, then a mud tire probably isnt for you. how often do you see yourself in the mud? mud tires are also louder, and will get worse milage and life than an AT or road tire. i would look into something like the nitto terra grappler, bridgestone revo, goodyear silent armor, toyo open country AT (pretty much same as terra grappler). also, go with a passenger car tire for ride comfort. if you arent on the rocks and loading the car with tons of stuff you dont need a LT tire. the sidewall is generally a different profile as well. and you cant really fit enough in the FJ to need a LT tire. clear as mud? really ask yourself how much off roading are you going to be doing?
