    I would drop them down to the OE spec, which I believe to be 32 for you. Tire pressure will also make a huge difference. I have 33's and run 35psi in the winter, and 40 in the summer.

    It is also worth noting the OE tires are mediocre in the best of conditions. I upgraded my OE tires on my 2020 Tacoma to AT3's and they were pretty good in the winter.

    The Toyo A30's that came on my 4Runner were hot garbage from day one. After about 10k they would chirp and howl on warm dry asphalt when cornering.

    My rule in life is that you never cheap out on things below you (Tires, shoes and mattresses).

    Lol if you can fishtail, the tires will break traction to avoid driveline bind. Just put it in 4hi and carry on. In RWD the 4Runner has less traction than FWD sedans.
