    I have a 2016 Trd sport and recently purchased the Trd Pro wheels for the 4 runner. I am looking for a little bit more aggressive tire. 265-70-17 but I don't need stuff like the nitto ridge grapplers or the KO2's. I am not doing an off roading. Mostly highway.

    I don't want to lose a lot of MPG, but looking for something a little bit more agressive.

    What suggestions would anyone be able to give me?

    How do you like the Sport so far? I just picked up the 2017 version. I had a 2006 Sport prior to this one. The new one, for reasons I cannot explain, feels like it rides lower.

    I second the at3's. If price is no object then check out the Michelin AT2. Heard some good things about the Hankook Dynapro ATM's too.

    Pay attention to tire weights to minimize hp/mpg loss. Tirerack.com is a great site for specs. Stock tires are P load. For weights: P<C<D<E

    Stacked spacer lift, 22x12 wheels with stretched 33's, tow mirrors, bull nuts.
    Cooper AT3's get my vote. Perhaps the P rated Falken Wildpeak AT3w. I am running the LT version on my 4 Runner and I like them. I've only had them on a few days though. The LT version might be a bit aggressive and heavy compared to what you're looking for.
