Deplorable
On stuff luck that the biggest annoyance is downtime. When one thing in the "area" needs to be replaced I just have the mechanic replace all the wear items while they are in there.

I've done that for years...haha. It's a little pricy at times, but it's saved me countless headaches down the road. Its how you justify a 4" lift kit to your wife when all you realy need is shocks and ball joints... Haha.

Thanks. Didn't notice a mpg difference between the Nittos and Hankooks?

Sorry, should’ve clarified. I only ran the Hankooks on my 2008 4runner, not my Tundra. On my Tundra, I went from the OEM Michelin ATs to the Nittos and yes, there was about a 3 mpg loss going to the bigger, heavier Nittos.

So you averaged over 19 mpg hwy with the Michelins? I went from the Bridgestone street tires in 255/70r18 (32x10) to Hankook ATMs in 325/65r18 (35x13) and the mpgs are at least as good overall. Better at low speeds and a little worse at 75 (but that's only ~16 mpg with either tire). Thinking the Bridgestones must really suck....

Yes, I was averaging that with stock tires on my tundra.
If I remember correctly, I think the mpg on my 2008 4runner went up a smidge when I went from the OEM Bridgestones to the Hankooks as well.

19mpg tank Average with the 5.7 and 5 speed?

He said 5.7 earlier I think. It's a 6 speed auto... don't think they ever had manuals on 2007+ Tundras. 19 mpg would be an outlier but not unheard of if you are easy on the pedal and don't drive too fast. And Michelins tend to have low rolling resistance.

Yes, with the 5.7 and 6-speed. 55-75 mph, 30 miles one way to work everyday, 500 ft of elevation gain gradually over that stretch.

Well, we found one we like and picked it up Monday!
08 with 164K.
I've put 150 miles on it. I like it. The only thing I'm not diggin, is the 20" rims. I wish they were 17"....and the aftermarket high speed low drag touch screen stereo...Doesn't receive AM at all and there's no book with it, so navigating int is a pain for me.

My Dear Wife (DW) likes it as well!
