    I recently put these tires, stock size on my 4Runner, and I must say I'm very impressed. I've had them for almost 500 miles and notice that they are very quiet and as smooth as the Michelins that I replaced. Plus they look pretty darn good!

    Great! That's what I'm planning on putting on my Limited here very soon. I'll be doing a 5 wheel rotation. Should get good mileage out of them.

    I always had a soft spot for the white letters on the outside. Might do the same when I’m do. They look good. Coopers are great.

    you had defenders before? Similar ride quality im assuming

    Might because of the taller tread, but it seems like a slightly better ride. Could be just because I WANT it to be a better ride too! Lol. I’ve been wanting to get black rims since I bought it, but with the white letters on the outside, I think it makes these aluminum rims look really good. Like, I really like how these rims look with the white letters. Very happy overall.

    Tire rubber hardens with age. So your old tires with thin tread and a tire carcass that is aged and likely harder than new.
    So your new tires are flexible casing and have fresh thick tread.

    Ive heard nothing but great things about these tires. Do you have ceramic on your paint. That gloss is pretty nice

    Actually, I do! It was a bit of work, but I washed it all up real good, then I clay-barred the paint. Then I finished with a spray on ceramic coat. (I think it was from chemical guys) This coating has lasted a bit over 6 months now. I usually re-do the process once in spring, once in fall. But it doesn’t seem to need a re-do yet. Still feels slick.
    I’m kind of happy someone noticed it! Lol. Especially from a picture.
