2000 Toyota 4 Runner Limited ARB OME FULL EXPEDITION is a highly modified off road vehicle built up on the reliable and bulletproof 3rd generation Toyota 4Runner. I bought the truck in Florida and drove it North.The suspension and tire upgrades maintain the excellent original ride characteristics of the 4Runner while greatly extending the off-road capabilities of the already very capable 4Runner. The BFG KM tires are super smooth and get the job done in any terrain. They are probably the best off-road tire in the market. The ARB Awning is a must for any overland/expedition vehicle. It is super rugged and opens and closes easily. No rust anywhere. 3.4l 24v V6. New ARB Expedition Winch Bumper, Old Man Emu Suspension, New Smittybuilt 9500 lb Winch, Recent BF 285 70 17" BF Goodrich All Terrain TA Tires on ICON Vehicle Dynamics Wheels , Roof-Rack, ARB Awning, Driving Lights. New timing chain, AC module, Transfer Case, New Kenwood Blue Tooth Audio System. Tan Leather, Sunroof, Rear window opens (last year available)

Have been running 40-60 lbs in these tires. Whats been your experience on the highway as thats most of the driving we do? Balance between comfort and mileage.

40 seems a bit high. 60 seem REALLY high.

Here's a calculator based on load rating and tire size.

I ran 35x12.50 on my Jeep at about 30-32 psi with success. Great tire! KM3 is my favorite!

Remember yall psi increase as weight gets added to your rig
Bumpers; suspension; skids; gear; racks etc etc you get it
On my rig running 30ish psi will eat my tires up FAST (fact) and stopping distance will increase drastically (fact)
