Tires BFGoodrich or MRF
Possibly the MRF tyre fitted on R variant has less road noise than the Bridgestone Tyre fitted in the Elevate at the time of launch. If that is the case then it is a good move. There were complaints on road noise on the 2023 Elevate.
I just put a set of BFGoodrich Trail Terrain and love them so far
Good advice below, I have LTs with K02 but I would get C rated instead if I could get them in same setup I have, tire, rim, raised letters.
Less mass means more mpg on highway. Offroad the softer tires can feel softer too.
they have excellent grip
I’m running 265/70/17 (123 load) K03 on my 4Runner and I’ve been pleased with washboard performance (2mi of sort on my commute). They do like to chuck rocks more than the AT3W (not sure how the AT4W is). Rain performance has been great here in Maine. Haven’t had enough snow yet
I never had a puncture on multiple sets of KO2's.
I switched the Kumho Crugens that came with my 2022 Santa Cruz SEL nonturbo with activity to BF Goodrich Trail Terrain, still at 245/60r18 about 2 weeks ago. The Trail Terrain is a lot more quiet, in fact, I can hear the hum of the engine much clearer now. Great in mild snow and ice, never slipped. It also performed very well in the rain and a little puddle, no hydroplaning so far. Cornering is not at good as the Crugen and needed a bit of correction. The ride is almost as comfy as the Crugen, but I can feel the little road imperfections subtly. I averaged 26.8 mpg on the Crugen, the Trail Terrain set me back a dismal 23.9 mpg.
But, it is MUCH smoother, still probably best off road of these on/road biased A/T tires. But, compared to Continental, lacks on road performance.
Mine was mrf and did not have a good experience. Within 1 month 4k km run tire burst in a simple pot hole with 33 psi air pressure
with the balancing issues on the KO3 I decided to switch it up this year.
