    My stock tires are at 60k miles and just about at minimum tread so I'm shopping. I know a lot of people hate on the Dunlop AT20's but these things are pretty smooth, even now. And I can't remember the last time I got a full 60k out of a set of tires (yes I rotate at 6k almost religiously). Thinking about getting another set of AT20's but I've had a fair amount of luck with Michelin Defenders on my Blazers/Trailblazers in years past.
    Just wondering what's the average mileage you dudes/dudettes get out of a set of tires?

    My KO2's we're at 80% tread after 29K. I upsized. I probably could have gotten 75K out of them.

    I think 60K is pretty achievable for any decent tire, with the exception of high performance tires. My Kumhos had probably 40K on them when I traded in my Tacoma, and they had a lot of life left in them.

    I thought the AT20's would be fine for someone who never has to drive in snow. But, I got rid of mine after 1300 miles, and several close calls.

    I think tires like MichelinDefenders will give lot of mileage on pavement. But here in CO they are not that good in winter so few of my friends using Goodyear Assurance Weatherready tires.

    But if you are using your 4runner for its intended purpose those all season tires won't be your best bet. I prefer all terrain tires as minimum requirement. If you are really serious about offroad traction i don't think anything beats a good M/T. Only downside M/Ts won't be ideal for winter on pavement.

    Had Toyo Open Country AT2 put on about 25k mikes ago and I am about 65% tread left. A bit loud but no problems in Cleveland winter with them.

    I got 92k out of the original Bridgestone Duelers, another tire that gets some hate. For me they were smooth, grippy on pavement, and long-wearing. They must roll easily too, as I averaged 21.5mpg since new. Wanting a little more grip in snow, I went with Continental Terrain Contact ATs for replacements. So far I like them really well - they're smooth and quiet, and have good-sized channels for rain. Can't rate their longevity yet. They're a 60k-mile tire like the Bridgestones were (I think).
