Toyota Land-cruiser Tires

Toyota’s rugged Land Cruiser was introduced way back in 1951 as a tough Jeep-type vehicle. Over the years, the Land Cruiser was available as a four-door station wagon, a pickup truck and a comfortable full-size SUV, without ever compromising its toughness and durability. For model year 2021, the Land Cruiser featured extensive weight savings, a lowered center of gravity, and suspension improvements, along with a twin-turbo 3.4L V6 putting out 409 hp. Later iterations of the Land Cruiser came with niceties like a 14-speaker JBL audio setup, rearview camera, heated/ventilated seats, navigation system, and more. The Land Cruiser has always been a very capable off-road performer, and Toyota ups the game with various off-road terrain modes, locking differentials, downhill assist and CRAWL, which functions almost like off-road cruise control and limits vehicle speed for best traction. The Land Cruiser is available with Base and Heritage Edition trim levels.

Using SimpleScore, here are the best Toyota Land Cruiser tires on the market today:

1. Bridgestone Blizzak DM-V2 - Best Winter tire

Now we come to our winter tire, and the Bridgestone Blizzak DM-V2 is just about perfect for a Toyota Land Cruiser winter tire. The Blizzak DM-V2 has the design and dependability you need to get you through some nasty winter conditions, but it won’t wear you out with a rough, noisy ride. Bridgestone’s advanced winter tread formulation incorporates multi-cell rubber compounds and a hydrophilic coating that stays flexible at subfreezing temperatures. Take a closer look at its tread design and you’ll see it’is loaded with features like increased block edges for more surface area and “bite particles,” letting the Blizzak DM-V2 really dig in and chew its way through snow slush and ice. We give the Blizzak DM-Vw a SimpleScore of 9.7 for traction. The Blizzak DM-V2 is also designed with an enhanced contact patch, not only enhancing traction but also steering feedback and response, bringing home a SimpleScore of 8.9 for handling. We’re impressed with the durability of the Blizzak DM-V2 as well. It’s designed with the innovative NanoPro Tech Multicell Compound for the first 55% of the tire’s tread depth, then the remaining 45% a standard winter compound still remains very capable on snow and slush (SimpleScore of 9.3 for longevity). The Bridgestone Blizzak DM-V2 is Three Peak Mountain Snowflake rated for severe winter service.

While these are the best Toyota Land Cruiser tires on the market, there are plenty of other options available:

2. Nitto Terra Grappler G2 - Great All-Terrain Tire

Time for our choice for Great All-Terrain Tire: the Nitto Terra Grappler G2. This addition to the Nitto Grappler family is Three Peak Mountain Snowflake rated for severe winter service, with an aggressive all-terrain tread pattern that includes 3D sipes and staggered shoulder lugs that extend halfway down the sidewall for great lateral terrain so you can claw your way out of ruts or mud. That’s all we need to give the Nitto Terra Grappler G2 a SimpleScore of 8.5 for traction. We’re also impressed with this tire’s durability, including its damage-resistant tread compound, robust internal construction and tie bars that connect tread blocks for toughness and resistance to flexing and stresses. Nitto offers a 50,000 or 65,000 mile warranty (depending on size), and we give this tire a SimpleScore of 8.2 in the longevity department. On the pavement, the Nitto Terra Grappler G2’s road manners, braking performance, steering response, and cornering are all pretty civilized (thanks in part to those tie bars in the tread) for a SimpleScore of 8.6 for handling. We should also mention that the Terra Grappler G2 has a reversible design with two different sidewall treatments (choose from “blade” or “lightning bolt” styles) so that you can customize the looks of your Land Cruiser’s tire choice.

3. Toyo Proxes ST III - Great All-Season tire

We’re going to round this out with the Toyo Proxes ST III, a performance-oriented all-season tire for light trucks and SUVs. The Proxes ST III is designed for sharp, responsive steering, stable cornering, and shorter braking distances, with a directional chevron-shaped tread pattern, wide shoulder blocks, and deep grooves – we give this tire a SimpleScore of a solid 8.7 for handling. Year-round traction is good thanks to that tread design and a pattern of multi-wave sipes, for a SimpleScore of 8.6 in that department. Toyo backs the Proxes ST III with a 40,000 mile treadwear warranty – we give this tire a SimpleScore of 8.1 for longevity.
