You don't need style when you've got strength!


Looking for tire recommendations for my wife's 4Runner - we're in TN so really cold weather is rare and snow is even more rare. That being said she's a nurse so even if it does snow she has to be able to get home safely. She currently has absolute garbage Starfire Solarus HT in 265/70/R17 which are dangerously bad in the rain and I'd like to replace before it gets much colder. We put Michelin Defender LTX M/S on her last car which did fine in the snow but they don't look "tough enough"

So is there a "tough looking" tire that isn't going to be trash in the wet?

Thank you, have a mobile tire installer working in the garage right now so I can run those by him.

If you’re going for performance all-season, I can never get tired of recommending the DWS06. Had them on my S60R, and currently run them on the S2000, FiST, and 911 as the all-around choice when the 200tw sets come off.
Yup, really good all around tires. Have then on cayman and e30, putting a set on the e28 next week.


Anyone have recommendations for a modern "Michelin 520 x 12." that isn't a trailer tire? That seems to translate to 125R12 & 145R12 I think but I'm finding conflicting info on that.
