I have a Toyota Pre-Runner SR5. I have Bridgestone Street/off road tires now. I would like to get just street tires now. My 50,000 miles is about out on these tires. I pull an 8x10 trailer everyday.

Anyone have suggestions on brands or tread design?

Not sure which brand I'd use, but for design I would go with something sparkly.

I have a 96 4Runner Limited 4x4 and I did the research almost two years ago and this was the best light truck tire going... www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Michelin&tireModel=LTX+M%2FS

Find em online and get the place you buy them to price match. I have been very happy with these tires.

I just put those same Michelins on my Suburban. Will never need another set of tires...90,000 mile life expectancy....60,000 warranty I believe...

Michelins are your best bet just remember to rotate them every 6k miles and keep them properly inflated,you will love them,they are a bit pricy but you get what you pay for.....

Michelins are good tires but if they have the AS instead of the MS, you will get much better traction with them.
On my truck I use the MS's but they don't do well in the rain. I did get 89 thousand on my first pair.

Toyo Proxies...I put them on a 2wd Expedition and they were by far the best tires I ever owned.

Be patient with them because I didn't like them the first 1K miles they break in and are awesome tires.

Believe it or not, I have gotten over 50K miles on both, those Liberators ( Uniroyal, I think)_ from Walmart and Generals, when I can find them. Prefer the Generals.

I hate buying tires. Just make sure they have a high treadwear number, whatever you buy.

do you have them on a 3/4 ton? i went through three sets on my 2500HD. you pretty much have to rotate them every oil change.
