Here is my kid’s 4Runner with Yokohama Geolander A/T’s.
These are nice and quiet on road. Have not completely proven their mettle off road (aside from some pretty tame trails in public hunting land).
They ride really nice - along with all the ‘light resto’ work we did when he got the truck. New Bilstein 5800 shocks all around, sway bushings, replaced fuel tank straps, replaced C/V shafts up front, did some cosmetic stuff, along with basic air filter, cabin filter and oil change type work.
Probably will be doing accessory (fan) belt and idler/tensioners in the spring along with plugs, Diff, Transfer Case and Transmission fluid.
Doesn’t look bad for 15 years old and 225k, eh?
In comparison-
Wifey’s Q7 tends to eat tires. I think the fact that she drives it like a Honda Civic probably is not helpful. We get 25k to 30k out of a set.
The last couple sets have been Pirelli Scorpion A/T - and have been decent tire.
We have Goodyear Eagle Sport all season tires on it now - and those are really noisy. Not a tread based noise, but it seems like they must have quite a stiff sidewall - they seem to transmit a ‘spring’ sound over expansion joints and potholes. They were a little less expensive - and I figured I would give them a shot.
That vehicle has a pretty unique tire size. They’re 19’s and quite wide.
I have also realized that brakes on that vehicle are monsters. I just did the rears for the second time. The fronts have been done once. Parts alone are nearly $700 for all four wheels.
