    Well, considering you have a lift from the OME setup and you're running what I'm guessing is the original wheel which came with your 02, then my suggestion is to look into any of the following (from high to lower priced)-

    https://www.discounttire.com/buy-tires/toyo-tire-open-country-m-t/
    https://www.discounttire.com/buy-tires/cooper-discoverer-st-maxx/

    https://www.discounttire.com/buy-tires/kumho-road-venture-a-t-51/

    Finally, there is the timeless, everyone seems to suggest them, hard riding and noisy BFG

    Not happy with your current tires?

    They may not be the best performers, but I think BFG KO2s always look the best. 1st pic KO2 on TRD Pro 17" gray wheels. 2nd pic KO2 on 16" 4Runner wheels. 3rd pic KO2 on 15" Tacoma wheels '98 Taco w TRD Pro Wheels.jpg 98 Taco Rear Bumper 4.jpg :

    I never understood the fascination with the KO2's. Is it really all about the looks? It can't be about their performance from what I've seen. :stirthepot:

    Overall they’ve work fine for my use and needs. I also run Toyos, Coopers, and Michelins. I think each application differs and one size doesn’t fit all. Best.
