New to the forum. 2021 new purchase. Wheels and tire recomendations please

I'm slightly biased...

265/70R17 Duratracs on 17" 4Runner wheels.

(and Rav4 radio knobs.)

Welcome to TW!

 

Nice clean look

 

Need to know what you're looking to do with the truck in order to make an educated tire suggestion. For wheels I'm biased towards the 6 spoke wheels that look like Volk TE37's. The real Volk's are too rich for my blood but some of the knockoffs look really good IMO. I've got the 9SIX9 Six-1 wheels on mine in bronze.

 

I'd recommend you keep the stock wheels and tires for a few weeks so that you can see how/if your new tire selection impacts MPGs. Also I wouldn't recommend going above 265/75r16 SL rated tire during your first year of ownership.

If you're on a budget just wait for a nice set of OEM Tacoma take-offs from a Sport, Off-road or SR5 to pop up on Facebook Marketplace.

If money isn't an issue then buy a new set of OEM pro wheels or your favorite style of Methods.

 

Those 9SIX9 wheels are very reasonably priced, never heard of them. Do they have a good reputation for holding up?

 

I am not an off road guy. I want amazing black sleek look with decent mileage

 

I've not seen any horror stories. Had mine for 2 years now without any issues. I've read they make wheels for some of the OEM's but I can't really confirm that.

 

I have worn out many sets of the popular BFG K02s. Including BFG A/Ts since way before K02 version.
A few years ago I discovered the Goodyear Wrangler Ultra-Terrains. Only at Discount Tire. I bought them initially for my older truck 2003 because they were cheaper. I really liked them so I use them on my primary driver now. My 1-mile long dirt driveway is the proving ground for snow tires and the UTs are the best snow traction tires I've ever owned.
I think the BFG K02s may be best for banging around on rocky terrain and loose dry dirt.
The Ultra-terrains are better on the road, in the snow and mud. In my opinion.
I suggest any tire you get be sure it is 3-peaks traction and E load rated.

For wheels I just switched to the TRD Toyota genuine

$280 PTR20-35110-BK Toyota 2010-2024 4runner TRD 17" Matte Black Wheel PTR20-35110-BK

PTR20-35110-BK, 17x7 with a new set of UT 265/70r17.
Pricey. Really good looking knock-offs of those wheels are available for around $650 delivered.

 

then definitely research wheel and tire weights. Even a few pounds added to each corner will have a negative impact.

 

I have Michelin LTX Defenders.
