The Toyota 4Runner is uniquely positioned: a body-on-frame, solid-rear-axle SUV in a market full of crossovers. Its owners are disproportionately likely to use its off-road capability. The tire choice reflects that.
Common Toyota 4Runner tire sizes
5th gen 4Runner (2010–2024): 265/70R17 is the factory size across nearly every trim — SR5, Trail, TRD Off-Road, TRD Pro, and the 40th Anniversary Special Edition. Limited and TRD Sport trims run 245/60R20 on their factory 20-inch wheels.
The TRD Pro runs the same 265/70R17 base size as the SR5, with additional lift and skid plates — it accommodates 285/75R16 or 295/70R17 with some modifications.
The 4Runner community has well-documented fitment information for oversize tires with various lift levels.
Best tires — SR5 and Trail (standard use)
Toyo Open Country AT3: the most popular 4Runner all-terrain tire. Quiet highway manners, excellent off-road grip in 265/70R17, widely available. The 4Runner community treats this as the default A/T upgrade.
BF Goodrich KO2: the benchmark A/T for serious 4Runner off-road use. Better rock and clay traction than the AT3, louder on the highway — the right trade-off for owners who trail frequently.
Falken Wildpeak AT3W: a strong value option with 3PMSF. Good for 4Runner owners who drive in all weather conditions and want genuine winter capability.

Best tires — TRD Pro and overland builds
Toyo Open Country M/T in 285/75R16 (with lift): the classic TRD Pro mud-terrain build. The TRD Pro community uses this more than any other M/T for technical trail and forest road use.
Cooper Discoverer STT Pro: a well-regarded alternative to the Toyo M/T, particularly good in red clay conditions like those found in Carroll and Haralson counties.
For 35-inch builds (requires lift): BF Goodrich KM3 in 305/70R17 or 315/70R17 — the Jeep/4Runner community's preferred M/T for serious overland and rock crawling builds.

Frequently asked
Can I fit 33-inch tires on a stock 5th gen 4Runner?
The stock 4Runner with 265/70R17 tires measures approximately 31.6 inches tall. True 33-inch tires typically require a 1-2 inch lift to clear the fender flares without rubbing. Many 4Runner owners run 285/75R16 (32.8 inches) with a minor lift and trimming.
How much do Toyota 4Runner tires cost?
265/70R17 highway all-season: $120–160 per tire. All-terrain in 265/70R17: $150–220 per tire. Oversize M/T tires in 285/75R16: $200–280 per tire. A standard set of four A/T tires installed: $600–880.
What tires come on the Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro from the factory?
The TRD Pro comes factory-equipped with a Nitto all-terrain tire in 265/70R17 — the exact model varies by year, so check your door-jamb sticker for the precise spec. The TRD Pro community frequently upgrades to BFG KO2 or Toyo Open Country AT3 as the first modification.
How do I choose between all-terrain and highway tires for my 4Runner?
Be honest about how often you actually leave pavement. If the 4Runner mostly commutes and sees a gravel road now and then, a highway or light all-terrain rides quieter and lasts longer. If you are on trails, red clay, or forest roads regularly, a true all-terrain earns the extra noise. There is no wrong answer, just a match to your driving.
