    Ok don't roast me on this I'm new to trucks. But what do I need to select on load index/speed rating and load range?

    quite a few
    it depends what your needs are... I would do a google search of C load vs E load vs SL tires and there will be tons to research.

    most 4runner owners (who spend virtually all of their time on paved roads) will be best served with SL rated tires for many reasons.

    but what is that 116Q? There are a few options beyond that.

    I think those are speed ratings. It won't really matter, because once you select load range, the speed rating will be based on that.

    BSW is black sidewall. Something like RWL would be raised white letter.

    As far as load range, have you chosen what to get?

    I've been a bit obsessed with tires. :D

    But, I'm still learning. :)
