    Hello! I’m new to the forum, and I’m sure this subject has come up before….
    I have a 2012 SR5 2wd 4-cylinder, bought it in 2019.
    The original wheels came with Dunlop Grandtrek’s that are in rough shape and need to be replaced. Fortunately, the truck came with a set of aftermarket aluminum wheels with Blizzak tires that I’ve been on since early fall, but with (Baltimore/hot!) summer around the corner, I’d like to get some all-season’s for the other wheels. My driving is entirely city/highway, low-mileage and no heavy hauling or demands….any suggestions? Looking more for economy or mid-range rather than top-shelf.
    Thank you in advance!

    Are you looking to increase the tire size or keep it stock?

    Lightest AT tires out there in the stock 2.7L SR5 size.

    General Grabber in that same size are nice too and a little cheaper

    Pretty decent in snow, too

    OP has a 2wd truck.
    If it's not a Prerunner it's got 15" 5 lug wheels.
