Does anyone have any tips to improve the way the 4runner handles in the wet. In particular, around corners. No matter how gently I turn in and out of corners, it always seems to go sideways.
Thanks |

I run 33" BFG mudders on 15 x 10" rims. That stopped all my sliding problems. The extra width of the rims made so much difference to handling both on and off road.  |

Put 35's and a 3y in it...... You would have to try very hard to get it sideway's |

same story with the 80, used to slide like a mutha with the stock splits but whack a set of 35's under her belly and can't even get it to spin in the wet!!! |
